And a new update-UPS sent a text saying it will be here tomorrow afternoon. Ordered yesterday! Why is this the only model that ships so fast? Wouldn't it seem that other SS 38s be available also?
I'm gonna speculate that most people didn't care for the classic buckle or they just made so many classic buckles in anticipation for high demand.
I know that the Classic Buckle band is removable off the Apple Watch Band Clip so you can attach any 22 MM band on it. Issue is how do you justify spending $150 for a band that your just going to take off :-(
I'd love to know as well. Mine delivers tomorrow ordered day and a half ago.

Was not aware of this. Hmmmm. Got to think that a man could get many different 22mm bands for $150. Nice to know.
My epic Apple Watch fantastic saga will come to an end after several orders and cancelations of orders and reorders. This one is shipping tomorrow.
SS Black Classic Buckle 38MM ...
Reordered it May 03 at 2:00 am EST.
Today was AW Party Day, May the Fourth be with me.
Got a payment issue notice 3:00 am EST, got the chance to update at 6:30 am EST then it changed to Preparing for Shipment at 12:30 PM EST then into Shipped 6:00 pm EST for delivery tomorrow.
First Attempt on this on April 30 then after more than 24 hours not changing status, I canceled it.
I have had several orders of Sport and SS that I ordered and canceled between April 23 and May 01.
I still have the April 24th order Milanese Loop 38 MM active.
SS Black Classic Buckle 38MM ...
Reordered it May 03 at 2:00 am EST.

HAHA! I also ordered this on April 30, then after 24 hours of no movement I also canceled. Then saw everyone was seeing movement after 2 days, so I re-ordered. LOL I still have my modern buckle from April 10 on order as well as my WSB SS from April 25.
There was a thread on the SS 38mm with sports band, which lead me to actually order a SS 38mm BSB on the 27th.
Others on that thread ordered SS WSB and got them literally with in 2-3 days from order.
Im still suck on "Processing" with a May 29 - Jun 11 delivery date.
At least my 38mm Sport BB is coming tomorrow.
Now I just have to decided what I like better and sell the other...
I see updates but it went from PA to Chantilly, Virginia, instead of to Louisville like my first watch did. I have never seen a pkg. go to Virginia before! (Final destination is North Carolina.)
Nope which has me worried because I plan on picking it up at UPS ship center before work tomorrow.
As a note. My pickup location in Greenville was approved and has departed Harrisburg. So hoping it goes direct to Greenville.
Same! (Trying to buy my son a birthday present).
I got mine on launch day.
I'm keeping my other order. I'll sell one.
I just had a tracking update too! I guess I requested the pickup change early enough that I can pick it up tmrw morning. Great by UPS to be able to do that.
I don't have any updates yet.
Mine departed Harrisburg at 855pm
I changed my delivery location to the UPS store next to the office.
I wonder it will show up there or work.
I wanted to do this, because I'm an impatient little kid. But then I saw that it would be delayed one day... I'll just sit at home and wait
Edit: Seems like the delay of one day only applies to UPS stores, rather than UPS Customer Centers. So it looks like I'll be driving to get my watch tomorrow!

Yep.
Ordered Sunday night, Shipped Today in the afternoon, Arrives tomorrow (UPS confirmed).
Origin scan at Ontario, CA. I'm having it re routed to UPS store. I wonder if there will be a delay.
