My timing for canceling and ordering a new watch is impeccable. No movement today. It's been 24 hours. Like others have said at least the delivery time frame is lower.
 
Ordered 38mm SS BCB yesterday 4/30 around 12pm PST. Woke up this morning and my order has changed to 'Preparing for Shipment', and credit card was charged.

Follow up, status changed to 'Shipped' as of a few minutes ago. I have a tracking # but it doesn't show up yet on UPS.

What good is a watch in a hurry if it isn't the watch I want?

No idea about you. Is your "I" intended to represent yourself or the people in this thread? For me, with a band trade it would eventually be the watch I want. For others, maybe they just care about getting their hands on a watch.
 
I ordered one this morning then went to a apple store to see if a 38mm would fit, good thing I went because it doesn't. I promptly cancelled and will wait for my June SS 42
 
What good is a watch in a hurry if it isn't the watch I want?

Depends. Is it the case you want? Because you can swap the band out later.

If you cannot even get the case you want, I do agree that there's no point in ordering it.
 
This is the watch I order from the get go. I am not surprised to hear they are shipping fast. It was the last one to slip to a June ship date during the first day.
 
See this is what I don't get. I ordered the same watch about 4 hours afterwards and have no movement on it at all.
I think 4 hours is an eternity in terms of ordering a new high demand product. They probably just ran out of stock for the day.
