Given that there isn't even a trickle of these... I bet we all get them at once. On the 13th. The closer that day is getting the more I think it was an accurate estimate based on supply of the bands. Makes sense, just wish it wasn't so. Now that my hopes are low maybe they'll ship tomorrow.

I'm waiting on the Modern Buckle with a ship date of 12-25 May. I agree that it's annoying especially given Tim Cook publicly said that most people would receive their orders earlier than expected...Well, they are running out of time to surprise us by sending our orders earlier than expected! #teammodernbuckle is in the same boat as #teamleatherloop coz no one on our team has received their watches yet. Hopefully, my leather brothers and sisters, we see movement in our orders in the next couple of days :cool:

You are playing a dangerous game posting in this thread - they don't even like it when #teamleatherlooponly post in here! ;)

P.s. I wouldn't get your hopes up too much about the start of the window - currently in the middle of my Apr28-May11 window and still on processing for my leather loop "sans watch" order. Yeah, yeah, yeah I know - you lot are only interested in the watch orders and have no interest in when leather loops in general might be starting to ship. :p

I am interested in whether Apple is fully honoring all their delivery windows. I have a sport band (only) on order as well that's supposed to ship before the 26th, and I'm watching to see how seriously Apple is taking that date.

And I don't dislike #teamleatherlooponly... it's just tough to listen to anyone who is getting super impatient for it. While we're here twiddling our thumbs waiting, you all can be twiddling your fingers on a digital crown ;)

Update: Seems that someone on Twitter has seen their leather loop band-only ship - http://twitter.com/jaselynch/status/595549851569487872

Did your order status change yet? :cool:

Not yet. When I got my stainless steel watch at launch, I got a charge on my card the night before, then the shipping status updated later in the evening. Received the watch the next day.

I'll update here if/when it changes.

That's cool, I've seen a few leather loops (strap only) ship out today, so I reckon the actual watches with leather loops will ship over the next few days.
 
Loop only is now Preparing for Shipment in Germany. Probably I'm going the right way: Orderd SS with Sportsband and the Loop in separate Order...
 
It's nice that something is happening with loops, but I want my damn loop that is attached to my damn watch to ship. Word of advice: don't go read the thread about people who ordered 3 or more watches....it's depressing how much exposure some have had already just to sell it...

I just noticed your signature... The 2m charger got me laughing. Thanks for the entertainment.
 
Mine was still at June so asked apple for an update. They just said June so I have cancelled.

Just got fed up of waiting.

One if you should get yours a bit quicker now.
 
My medium blue leather loop band is still processing. I ordered it late though. 4/22. June delivery :(
 
Are the modern buckles shipping?

Aside from the leather loop, this was our (my wife's) second order. Way to pick two winners, right? ;) So far, neither of mine have moved and I ordered within 2 or 3 minutes of the store opening at midnight PST US.
 
Well it certainly doesn't seem like the LL orders are going to beat shipping estimates.
 
I had a leather loop order placed with the Apple band swap program (I ordered a 42 SS BSB that's currently on my wrist.

The person who made the swap combined it with my original order and said that should move you up in line, but the delivery date will still say June. I'm curious as to if the band swap program does indeed move band-only orders up to the original timestamp.
