I had placed an order for a 42mm SS BSB on 4/21 with a non committal June shipping date. Since day 1 of trying on, I was torn as to 38mm or 42mm. The CC test reveals that I'm in between with the sizing - 55mm width wrist. Well, I just placed an order for the 38mm SS BSB and have a 4-6 wk window delivering between 6/05 & 6/18. Really hoping this thing ships out sooner. Any others experience better than advertised shipping for the 38mm SS BSB? I'm hoping to get it by the 19th of May - my Birthday!!
This thread is for the classic buckle. This is the only SS shipping quickly at the moment.
Mine is preparing for shipment also! Very excited...hopefully it makes a good Mother's Day gift! Haha
Thank you OP!!
I have the 42 SG with BB but I am a small woman and felt that the 42 was just too big for me Also the SG and sport band were not dressy enough. I wanted to get a SS instead, but wanted to get it before the two-week return deadline as I just didn't want to be without the watch for weeks on end after experiencing the joys of owning one!
This thread helped me decide which one to get and lo and behold ... I ordered it yesterday at 8:00 a.m. EDT and today at 1:30 I got the notice that it had been charged to my AMEX and it is now Preparing to Ship! YAY!!!

I guess so and I am thrilled that Apple came through for so many of us! This is amazing!
I can't decide if these are readily available because they screwed up and made too many of them, or we all have bad taste.
Worked here too... Original order for 38mm SS Milanese placed April 15th.
As of May 1st it was still processing. May 2 at 9am I placed an order for a SS Classic Black Buckle...May 2 card charged and at 3:30pm went to preparing for shipment. Just placed an order for a Milanese and sport band due to ship in 2 weeks... Thank you Apple...

LOL!! I really wasn't sure which band to get so this thread helped me decide! I like the way the band fits on to the watch with the silver loops on each side. The great thing is that we can buy other bands. I also have a white SB on order. It is truly thrilling to see that status change!
Thanks OP! Ordered shortly after you posted, prepping for shipment. I feel like a watch hog considering I have a 
Watch Sport already. Decided I wanted the dressier look of the SS.

Get the 38mm on Monday or Tuesday, use the watch for 14 days till May May 20th and decide if I want to keep it or not, if not then just return it and wait for my 42mm, problem solved
Ditto. I also have a 42 WSB on order. The nice thing about receiving the 38 early in the month is that if I decide to return it, the credit will likely appear before my next CC bill.Get the 38mm on Monday or Tuesday, use the watch for 14 days till May May 20th and decide if I want to keep it or not, if not then just return it and wait for my 42mm, problem solved
I assume by "ML" you mean Milanese loop band... right?
Could you post your order info because I haven't heard of anyone getting a 42MM SS with Milanese loop band who ordered later than the first 5 minutes.
THAT's IT!! I couldn't take it any longer LOL
JUST ordered 38 SS Classic! Delivery est. May 21-28 (2-3 wks)
My other order is: 38 SS Wh sport, still processing/hasn't moved. Ordered 4/18. Delivery: 5/20-5/28. So basically same time frame, although the Classics are shipping out QUICK!
So ya, hopefully this gets shipped sooner n I'll then cancel my SS Wh 38 order.
btw, Had planned on getting the blk classic band anyways....Tried on the Classic AW yesterday at Apple Store and such a nice band!!!
