The SS Apple Watch Leather Loop update thread

I ordered the 42mm black sports band.....I don't want a 38mm or white band which I know is going faster. I am willing to wait, just trying to get it here faster for a band I wanted anyway. I refuse to order something I don't want just to exchange it, seems a bit disingenuous to me.

I should mention I don't feel bad about canceling an order or returning an unopened box however!

Modern buckle?
REALLY? Can you share details of our wife's modern buckle shipment? Date ordered, color?
update.....ignore me.....thought it had shipped...
Tomorrow is the day, I tell myself...
I'll wake up tomorrow and my 12:03am PT order will be in preparing for shipment status. I tell myself this ... so I can continue living.
Oh, and while we're dreaming, that modern buckle SS watch I ordered for my darling wife will also ship tomorrow. Oh yes.
A man can dream...

Hah - yeah I had the same mentality. I had some unexpected funds that pushed me to get this one over the sport and excitedly checked out. I dunno why these just didn't all ship with sport bands with a later roll out of whatever bands have proved unavailable. But I guess that takes away from the personal device idea... still processing.
We are a lonely bunch. I wake up every morning and check out this thread, as well as the 4-6 Week thread. On the 4-6 Week thread there are people excitedly announcing that they have been charged overnight and that their watches are shipping. Over here, nothing.
I know it's been said many times, but if I'd just ordered my watch with a sport band...

We are......I do the same thing with the 4-6 week thread and it's depressing. I have to keep telling myself: they are in our bracket yet they are getting them early....while we get nothing....makes me wanna scream.
In other news, since we are few and far between maybe our watches are in transit already...how is this possible you ask? Well the masses get theirs on huge ups planes. I think ours fit into a single box, so they were sent last week....on a boat being rowed over the pacific. When they finally get here they will be delivered by a private currier who has been hitching rides and personally delivering each one.
Nice! I ordered black. I noticed the black and blue are June, while stone and brown are 2-4 weeks or May...
I got my SS BSB watch last Friday and have been having some issues with it - being passed back and forth between the online chat, genius bar, online chat, etc - to get the repair taken care of. Apple customer support was kind enough to let me place an order via the support team, so they sent me what looks to be a replacement leather loop. I say "replacement" because it came in a white box without the strap logo on top, as we've seen in other pictures. The box simply has a small "42mm M" sticker on it.
I'm impressed by the case that it comes in. It'll make it easy to store all the extra bands I'm likely to get over the next year, black leather loop included.
Just put it on. First impressions - feels great, lighter than I expected. The magnets are REALLY strong and it's easy to get a tight fit, which I was a little worried about.
Oddly, it makes a tiny but of noise as I move by wrist around and the magnets slight shift/rub against each other. I suspect that this is because it's new and that the leather needs to get worn in a little

Nice! I don't know why I thought it would come in anything other than a nice box, Apple always packages stuff to feel like it is a preiumium product (which it is) even the cables come neatly wound.
Sadly, the sport band doesn't fit in this case - the pin is too high for the case to properly shut. However, should still be nice if you have multiple bands to store
It seems that most bands.....except LL and MB have started to catch up today, even the link (not space grey obviously) now says may....these are not on the watch, just the bands
The leather loops are so nice! Congrats on your delivery of one the packaging is amazing as usual! Can't wait to get one!!

If I were to see Tim Cook with his Leather Loop on, I would kick him in the balls and steal his band....
I'm right the ******* behind you in that line
hey guys, just joined this forum today... I have been following this forum for quite some time.... well main reason I'm posting here is because I also ordered black leather loop on 10th April at 8:05am (UK) and mine is also still processing, I finally gave up and ordered 42mm ss white sport band... now lets see which one ships first...
