Stainless Steel Space Black Shipping Status

Stumbled upon the forum after so long of not receiving updates of any kind to my 
watch order.
I basically scanned through this thread along with a few of the others that may apply to me and pretty much see a lot of the same statuses as me but still some doing a bit better.
So I guess Im a short term lurker/first time poster.
So first off, I do not quite understand how the order of processing/ship dates go. Seems random sometimes but I can see a lot of posts stating its in the time stamp order que. Which is it?
I have seen orders that are further in the process than mine is even if placed AFTER mine which is a bit frustrating. (having ship dates, I mean)
So by the experiences you guys have from this forum/thread, can someone advise me on what I could possibly expect from this status?
My order for the 42/SSSBLB was placed on 10 April at 00:24:53 exactly according to CS at Apple, with overnight shipping to Arizona (obviously stateside). From the beginning the only status I have held is "June", and nothing else.
Has anyone with a status similar received theirs yet?
Sorry if the info I am inquiring about is common knowledge at this point.

There is a lot of us in your position.
It seems that it is more or less going by the time you received your confirmation, but also sorted by country too.
Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but it seems like within your country, its mostly going by order. There seems to be a few exceptions to this rule, but being a long time lurker to this thread, thats my take on it.
There has been a lot of people that have been updated to more specific shipping dates, but from my (limited) observations of this thread, it seems as though they ordered hours after midnight 4/10 pacific time.
Would be interested if anyone that ordered within the first hour of being able to order is not just in june and processing still.
Personally ordered at xx:07, los angeles here. Still processing.

It is a nice watch. The Rolex looks better, however.
Agreed. Eventually if I get the SSSB, it will not replace my GMTc or Sub.
It will be a fun tech change though that I am a looking forward too...a little.
There's finally a UPS 77 / MD11 plane leaving anchorage for Ontario, CA. I thought louisville was the final destination? Either way I dont care. I hope these are our watches and they start moving tomorrow. If they dont, then it looks like next week we should definitely start seeing movement since its june.
Flightaware info:
27-May-2015 MD11 Anchorage Intl (PANC) Ontario Intl (KONT) 03:55PM AKDT 09:25PM PDT Scheduled

Well after reading the last few post it makes me happier that I'm at xx:9:55... Early June it is! Woo woo!
Hopefully that flight has my beauty onboard!

We are using the timestamp of the confirmation email we all got when ordering. It is usually similar to the time apple support gives you, but we have seen some variations. Everyone gets the email though, so its the best we have to compare with others.
Having a narrower ship date doesnt mean they are further ahead. The ones getting one or two week ranges these past few days have been ranges in July. I still have "June" so Im still ahead of them. No idea why they have a narrower date range though.
Your order is at 24 minutes after ordering, often written as xx:24 or :24 here. So far, they have delivered up to partway through :06. The bad news is that they still have a way to go to get to :24, but the good news is that we (or at least I?) expect that after the first few minutes, order volume dropped off, so that each batch of watches will cover a longer order timeframe as time goes on.
We had a few 06's in the US earlier in the week. We had later times outside of the US (UK, France, Germany, Canada, Aus) - but they were, for the most part, last week.
Oh yeah...forgot to specify in the U.S.
I wonder why those of us in California are behind the other states?
Are you sure about that? I got into an argument with some of the guys on the regular SS LB thread - they were saying that all Canadian pre-orders were coming before US pre-orders (they based it on this group of 7 preorders that shipped as one batch).
Damn apple - not producing or shipping batches of single devices at a time, wtf?!
Anywho. The bottom line is that the membership here represents a very small % of the orders. We can't accurately guesstimate distribution based on our numbers here.
So just wondering, how many people have received their watch before the stated 'updated' processing time?
IE: I just got a 5-6 week delivery. What are the odds that apple will beat that?

If they do anything like they did with the space gray sport....you could be getting it sooner. I originally had a July timeframe, it went to a 1 week window at the beginning of July, and then today it was updated to mid-June.

There have been about a dozen "June's" in here ship, but most of them were outside the US.
I think anyone that still has a "June" shipping window is likely going to get sorted in the next push of orders (or closely behind it).
Just though I'd throw in an updated post.
Oh, wait... Nothing's changed.
But for those wondering and don't want to sift through thousands of posts (I wouldn't either, and search doesn't always.):
42mm SBSS

I was just comparing AW shipped to states in the U.S.
It seemed to be happening to the Sport Space Gray. Others in the U.S. We're getting them before mine. So, my order time seemed to be +25 seconds then I finally received mine.
No change...
Boy this is soooo frustrating...
I used a new iPad for the pre order. I Woke up early. I had set up Apple Pay. I had favorited the 42mm SBSS in the app so it would be quick to select when the store came back up. I was force closing and opening the store app and the second it came up I went to my favorites and added the SB to the cart. Unfortunately, I forget I hadn't entered my address for the new credit card. I have a long address. By the time I had entered it and used my finger for Apple pay it was already 5 minutes in... I received my email at xx:06 and I have not received an update since! Still "processing" and still "June"!
The kicker is I went back and ordered a large blue leather loop that was delivered two weeks ago and it's been sitting on my desk mocking me every morning...

MY wife and I went to the Apple store on May 23 and had a try on. I purposely stayed away because I was trying to convince myself that I did not want to buy the first year watch. (Even though I really wanted to!) Tried on a few different ones and finally settled on the Black stainless! My wife got one with the modern buckle. Her ship date is June 9. Up till a few minutes ago my just said July. It has since been updated to July 9-16! It wasn't that much of a change, but I am happy that I will get it mid July and not late July!
