Do you know if Apple sends the straight to the Uk, or if they go through one of these hubs? I know there's Anchorage - Louisville - then East Midlands, but there is also a hub in Cologne that's to cover Europe.

Oh cool. Nicknames = social acceptance

Who's Bixi?

When I was there it all went through Louisville. It's the only U.S. Facility that ships to all final destination points in the system.
 
Bixizero...haven't heard much of him since he finally got his watch. Was even more doom and gloom that Chulan here. :)

Seriously...guy had zero good things to day...was pretty depressing.

Oh I see.

Well we're all keen to get our watches. I know there's people gonna get them before me and I know there's people who ordered after me. Nothing I can do but wait.

I have a wedding this weekend and it'd be nice to have the watch for that so I've got a bunch of limbs crossed that Apple are gonna pull a surprise out the bag this week with deliveries, but if they don't, they don't.
 
I just thought I would drop into this thread again. I spent so much time here but no more. My watch arrived on Friday and the DLC coating was well worth the wait.

Best to all of you and hope yours comes soon!

Thanks, but not yet seeing any light at the end of the "July" tunnel!

How did it work out for you getting extra links?

A member here, Mymosa, surprised me with two additional SpaceBlack links. They arrived the same day as the watch. An act of kindness that will not be forgotten! I was more than willing to pay her for the links but she would not allow it.

I may need to make a similar arrangement. My wrist is close to the maximum for the watch.

I've had nightmares that something went wrong and I still didn't have my watch in September.
 
Soon!!?
I hope I wake up one of these days soon to 'Preparing for shipment!"
'July' cant come soon enough!

I've (almost) lost interest in refreshing my order status! I've seen a lot of "June" orders flip to PFS the last few days here in Oz, there's hope us "July" bunch might come early too!

Ah, yes - now I remember - very kind of Mymosa!
 
You need to stop thinking of it as minutes. We have no idea how many watches were ordered in the first 10 minutes.
Minutes are the only public facing metric available.

All we know is that from somewhere between :06 and :07, delivery confirmations went from date bound windows in May to all of June, which seems to have applied to all orders placed in the next 48 hours. This suggests that the first six minutes' preorder volume was an order of magnitude higher than subsequent preorders.

My nightmare was HAVING my new watch and not being able to wear it. I was even thinkin of selling it without opening th box until the envelope arrived with the two tiny little links.

Even non DLC coated SS links will work fine until you fine the black ones. There has to be a lot of unused links out there so looking around will find an angel to help out.
 
We've had a total of 15 flights come into Louisville this weekend. The 8 that sat all day yesterday and the 6 coming in today with the one that's going to go from icheon to anchorage and then Louisville.

I really hope they get a lot of **** pushed through starting midnight. I know charges usually happen in the wee morning usually and I hope that's true so we can hopefully get our watches Wednesday at the latest Thursday.
 
You should get that oil that they showed on that knife site. At the very least, get some nail polish remvover and try that. That won't harm the DLC at all.

Well, I used the pencil eraser method that was in that thread. I got eraser shavings in the small gap between the screen and the bezel. Had to use a pin to dig them out. I think I'll just leave the scratches there, it adds character.

She was a sweetheart. But I wonder if she had any more left-wing I remember she said she took it 6. I might need two as Well. Getting mine tomorrow so I shall see if I even require extra. But if they are anything like the stainless steel try on band,i know I will.
