The SS Apple Watch Leather Loop update thread

[jabingla2810]

When the store came online, I was 70/30 between the classic buckle and the leather loop.

I could have ordered the classic buckle and be sitting here with an Apple Watch, but no, I thought, be mature about this, you're almost 30, buy the watch you really want and if you have to wait a couple more weeks then so be it!

So that's what I did. I'm never going to act maturely again when it comes to spending money!

I should have just got whatever watch when I had the chance. And by the leather band separate. And just wait for it ship later.

Brown Leather Loop - Preparing for Shipment

I ordered a 42mm SS brown leather loop at around 3:02 AM EST on April 10 (Montréal, Québec). My shipping window was May 13-26. Today, my watch just moved into "preparing for shipment" maybe there's hope for all of us waiting for leather loop models!

That's absolutely great news, and bodes well for us with seemingly far away shipping dates - they will arrive sooner than we think!

You must be one of the only people in the world with that status at the moment - us leather loopers are a rare breed

Wow! This is actually the first leather loop shipping I'be seen.
So happy. For you as well.

I have to cancel on May 4th, because I'm leaving the country,
It would be so cool to have a shipment before that.

Best news I've heard all day. This is the first leather loop that I've heard has moved. Has your credit card been charged and if so, when?

This is good news! I'm further down the list, but seeing that there is at least some movement has renewed my hope that I won't be waiting 4-6 weeks! I ordered the exact same configuration.

 

[jdubya]

My assumption is that not that many leather loop watches were ordered, and that once they start moving they will move fast. I ordered a 42mm SS w/ blue leather loop at about xx:11. Keeping my fingers crossed!

We are proudly pathetic in our desire for leather loops

We can all hope, I certainly haven't seen many LLs around!

Great news! I ordered 42 SS Black LL in the UK - I'm still processing but here lies some hope after all!

I am wondering if I should cancel my 42mm black leather loop for a different configuration. I am stuck in Juneland. I ordered on April 11.

Well THAT is the best news today! Here's to hoping. Leather Loops STAY STRONG (lol).

Why not just order an additional watch? To see which one comes quicker? Worth a shot.

 

[Teach4]

Because I don't have the money to do that. #

Thought you already have a 38mm Milanese? You started a thread asking opinions...

I did get a 38mm SS with Millinese loop, but here in the forum people say it looks horrible on me. I ordered the 42mm SS with black loop on the 11th. It is set for June. I am just wondering if I should cancel and get a different combination.

I did, that's why I can't put in an order for another 42mm.

Teach4 you can call customer service and see if they can change the order for you without affecting the ship date.
They did it for me. Took about 15 minutes. Would have taken less but the CSR was full of sorry and thank you's

Are you getting it any sooner than June?

----------

Don't know that it will ship any sooner though.

 

[capitanbuzo]

I just want the band to ship already. How hard is it to make a band?

Originally I have the SS with the black sports band.
I now have the 42 SS with the black leather band and ordered the black sports band separately.
It still says June delivery.
