Goodnight forum members! I look forward to another day of disappointment and speculation tomorrow. GO TEAM LEATHER LOOP! :D

Just to cheer you up, here's a picture from April 10 of my wrist with an Apple Watch with large black Leather Loop on it. I look at it and dream... A man can dream, yes?

HAVE HOPE, my fellow Jedi!

Bound to make some people mad, but perhaps a better look at the brown loop. I know I never found good pictures online.

It doesn't make me mad, it just makes me want mine even more. I am glad i choose one of the least popular options as it does look really nice! Looks like its worth the wait.
 
Great photos!

I'm really hating waiting but I am glad that I'll have one of the rarer items so I hope it will be worth the wait! So tempted to cancel for another model but I know I'd be back at the back of the queue so going to buckle down and forget about it for a while.
 
Status of my order didn't also change today.
Regrettable...:(

By the way, Shipping off seems to start with the person who ordered by band only.

Those are shipped off from Chinese SHINSEN (Japanese who recieved LL band said, watching shipment logs).
I heard that leather loops was made in Italy, but it's shipment from China...:eek:

Can I get LL Watch on May 10th...
I don't like to wait until May 21st!! (T-T)

I agree! I really makes me wonder why it's that less popular. For me it combines best of both worlds – classic leather with a forward thinking concept. Besides – it has "Marc Newson" written all over it! I'm sure he's behind it – its such a signature piece ... Cant wait! :)
 
Well we have 3 business days left for under promise/over deliver. Then we move into the "gee will I really have to wait till the end of this window" phase. I am 100% certain the excitement will return when I recieve it, but sometime this week my preorder excitement fully disappeared...

That's too bad. I don't know what else to say, because no one except Apple knows why it is taking so long.#
 
Just got my email! Watch will ship in 2-3 days!!!

42mm SS Large Black Leather Loop. Confirmed at 3:02.

Still no charge though.

EDIT: My mistake folks. I read the weeks as days in my excitement. Holy crap at this email:

Whoo, congratulations! You seem to be one of the first ones that actually get one with Leather Loop. May I ask when you ordered?
 
No way! Pics or it didn't happen ;)

In all fairness my excitement got the best of me reading this email and I have a screaming 3 year old and 18 month old by me right this very moment. I have bad news folks. Here is the email:

Awww shucks!

Although I did think the same thing when they emailed me yesterday about the standalone black sport band I'd ordered.

Keep the faith! :cool:

Dam, so it looks like it isn't even going to be the first half of the delivery window.

Hey Apple,

Take this

Then put that mother on a truck and ship it out.

Chop chop.

I placed a band only order for the 42mm medium black leather loop on April 27th. Original estimate was for June delivery, but just received an email this morning that it has been moved up now to May 26-29th.
