Grrrrrrr....
We in Germany love to say in these situations:
"finger in the wound"....u know it?
Every day i wake up, and press the little circle on my browser. And every day 'Available to ship: July' slaps me in the face.
one of these days...
one of these days...
This side of the pond, we say "throwing salt in the wound" or "adding insult to injury".
You and me both.
Haha it doesn't even feel like a Troll to me, just some late orderer who got his watch after about 5 days of waiting and wanted to feel on top so he found the first thread he could find of people who he thought was waiting for his watch and he wanted to gloat but only ends up looking like a peasant who's proud to have his plastic fodder sport band.
Well to be fair I posted that while/at the same time he was posting his 'proof', which turned out to be just the Black Sport.
This thread has gotten about 10,000 views in the last 16 hours. That's about 625 views per hour.
I have too much time on my hands and this watch is making me go insane.

Are people just posting to post at this point? Thread title does say SPACE BLACK. I dont get it!
I'm sorry this is off topic but just reading this comment reminded me of something else while I patiently wait, I know this wait is pretty painful but what makes it a touch harder for me is what we are paying for the same watch in AU.
take a look at my screen shot and you'll see what I mean USD $1099 v's AUD $1629 is not a fair exchange rate me thinks but might help you guys in the U.S. to make the wait a little easier

In Canada, taxes in, my 42mm SB SS w LB is:
Order Total $1,648.67
No, not trying to "one up" you, just demonstrating that Apple charges a premium exchange rate out of the US.
Just the way it is...and has always been. Even when the Canadian dollar was at par to the US, we still paid a premium.
Keep in mind US don't include tax in their prices (it varies from state to state).
USD 1099*1.09 (avg 9% tax) = USD1197
XE.com USD1197 = AUD1508 (xe.com currency exchange)
About $100 difference isn't as bad as it seems. Just keep it in mind - because at first sight, it seems largely ridiculous, but it really isn't as bad as it use to be.
Live in Brissy and come to know you do get what you pay for. Apple Support is incomparable to other tech companies and personally feel it's worth the premium (plus high resale retention)
IMHO, Apple is better able to refine the delivery window as the time draws nearer, and so they update us with the info as it becomes available.
Yeah, not looking forward to doing that once it arrives...anybody else in my shoes?
