The SS Apple Watch Leather Loop update thread

If they shipped 2000 for example, you would see it on Twitter or Instagram.
What is so strange that there are none. Why?
Since there's not much to talk about in terms of order movement, may I ask how many of you have tried on the LL and how you felt about the comfort, magnet strength, feel, etc?
I have a SS LL on order and also a SG Sport. I ordered the Sport on launch day and ordered the SS on 5/3 after reading reports of easy scratching of the Sport (which may or may not be true since I'm also reading reports from others who have been rough on it and don't see any wear).
Anyway, I will have a tough decision to make when the Sport arrives. The SS is nicer and the infinitely adjustable LL band sounds amazing. I did try it on once but only briefly and a month ago.

oh good for him!...singular, him...as in one....like the number one...like the beetles song....because 1...just one person....has a real leather loop watch...one as in alone, as in the only one....1 like the next closest number to 0...as in 0 of us have our watches....although we often use more numbers, like 7, 4, and 0...like the amount of money that is in my account for no reason apparently....and then there is -1...as in: if you got a band with no watch thats one less there is to make a watch with....so -1.....add it all together and there are actually less leather loop watches now than there were on launch day (which was 0)....
He just tweeted proof for us: http://twitter.com/agorzny/status/596043587755888641
I tried most of the models of Sport and Watch at the earliest try-on appointment I could get. The Leather Loop felt the most comfortable to me, the range of adjustability was brilliant and it felt very secure on my wrist.
Now, if I could just get one on my wrist...
So he got one in the same bracket as us, but early....thats not good if his was the only one....means they got 1 done and shipped it to say that leather loops were shipping.
This is too funny. So they are making one at a time and shipping them one at a time? In between the streams of bands and celebrity gift configurations. How long will this method take?
They have some for the stores and review units.
Maybe someone had a box lying around and they send it to him.
I still do not believe they shipped one as part of a regular order.
Also not sure if anyone cares about bands only any more, but I'll have my brown loop tomorrow as it was shipped via Expressversand today. I'm in Germany and ordered the band separately after seeing the long lead times for the full watch configuration right out of the gate. Went with classic buckle instead and got that on launch day.
No doubt the watches also start shipping soon.

I really don't want to be a jerk, but do any of us care about LL bands shipping? I thought the title of this thread was SS AW LL. Nothing to do with LL.
I cared at first because at least it was some indication that the bands were being produced. Now, I could care less since it's no longer a surprise or news and there's still no combos shipping... other than that twitter guy, which just looks a bit fishy.
I fully understand, I have a launch day order pending as well.
But I think it is useful that the "band only" people post here, because I'm really curious when the first blue and black leather loops are really shipping.
I do not want to look around in all the other threads.
I thought the OP changed the title of this thread yesterday but now it's back to what it was. We know the bands are shipping.
It was changed, but they are still posting.
Likewise I don't think anyone cares if their order is still "Processing" - It drives me nuts to see these posts as well.
Any 1 week after pre-order SS Blue Leather Loops folks shipping?
Mine said June... With this, I am happy it didn't say Summer. That would mean I have till Labor Day know Apple.

No preorders of the SS Leather Loop are currently shipping. Not even the ones from when the store opened on 4/10.
Except for the one random one to Andrew in Canada that went out last week...
Andrew Gorzny on twitter just uploaded the image of the box for his SS BLL:

Very easy to PhotoShop. Anyway, they've been questioning that guy about his watch for a while now.
I really don't care. I ordered black, not brown.
Even now, brown and stone ship faster than black or bright blue.
