Yeah, not a lot to do until something changes on our order status. I'm sure when that happens, then there will be lots of excitement! Hoping to see something this week. I myself am getting a bit restless...
That's for sure ... While many may not agree with many like us checking bank accounts, apple order status and this forum back and forth for any change since the day of Pre Order .. Saying that Apple already quoted may 13 - may 27. Well I'm not going to that debate again at the tail end of the endless wait .. Apple has not really handled us correctly with no exact status and very generic statements that left us uncertain !
I just keep telling myself over and over that it's coming on the 27th, so that when it does come earlier I'll be pleasantly surprised. 
Spoiler alert: you've heard this all before, so please feel free to skip this post and move on to something else...
But I need to rant and everyone I can do this to tells me to get over it and to stop acting like my 6 year old grandson who can't have his birthday present early (yes, really!)
I've been an Apple fan for many years. I have lined up all night for phones. I did the same for the iPad 2 multiple times because they didn't have what I wanted by the time I got to the front of the line. But I understood, demand exceeded supply.
But this time? They are shipping the 42 SS watches (lots of them if you follow the other threads), and they are shipping the LB, so why are they not shipping any 42 SS LB watches???
Am I the only one who thinks something strange is going on here (rhetorical question)?
OK, rant over. I guess Ill just have to be patient.

For everyone complaining about them shipping the link band seperatley, it will all be worth it once you get the free cloth that people who ordered the band seperatley wont get.
I'm looking forward to the custom box for the AW SS w/LB. Must be a very special, very expensive, hard to produce, only a few ever made sort of box. I'm certain I'll be able to sell just the box for $$$ (in 100 years)
We know the reviewer link bracelet models had them, but do we know if they're still providing the cleaning cloth in the retail boxes for link bracelet watches? They changed Apple support articles HT204665 and HT204522 to eliminate any mention of a "provided cleaning cloth."
On a Serious Note ..
Guys,
On a serious note, there must be some way we can get someone from Macrumors team to reach out to Apple PR ? I mean come on ... you can ..
Give out Gold Watches to celebs, (Kanye West, Beyonce, Karl Lagerfeld)
Give out Non-Gold watches to Reviewers,
Sell 42mm SS watches with all other configs but this
Sell Link Bracelets only
but what about the actual buyers of this watch, the ones that'll matter the most on Apple's Revenue charts at the end ?
There must be some way we can have someone from the macrumors team to get us some official info.. we've just been trying to hit blind bull's eye blindfolded !!

Well when you get it you can use the cloth to dry your tears from not having the watch then wipe down your watch with yours tears. Win/WinFree cloth? I'd rather have my watch now (or a week ago) than a free cloth.
My fingernails and hair are both getting damn long waiting for the watch in stasis this long.
----------
Where is my watch.
I ordered my wife's 38mm Milanese at the same time and she got it on 24/4.

well you should be happy it's this way for you .. had it been the other way .. you would be bleeding than crying .. lol .. a Happy wife is any day better than a crying husband !! Lol
It's official it's now May12th, can I start complaining or do I wait until the 25th ?
Im going to continue being patient but can't understand why Apple can't connect a Link Bracelet to a 42mm SS Apple Watch and send it to me, It's very simple to do, just press one button and slide it on the watch, then post it to me

Unfortunately, we don't matter the most on their revenue charts at the end, because there are fewer of us buying the most expensive SS models.
well a little or too much .. we might be a blip on the chart .. but we do make a million in their billion !!
we not doing charity by buying the watch .. neither are they doing it buy giving it to us for free... I rant the equal if not more even when I spend a $ of my hard earned money ..
