Mine has been sitting at UPS for the last two days. I've been trapped at work until 7-8pm both days and my UPS closes at 6pm. This is torture!
 
SS with Link going for $1,600 on Craigslist. Saw a couple postings at that price. One included the BSB with it as well. Ooooh. A $1,050 value.

As I see it that is $1,075 - $1,130 factoring tax in, a markup of $470 - $525.

That's pretty steep even adding the tax. Tough to justify. Especially when you factor in how long my wife would have me sleeping on the couch.
 
All the UPS facilities near me close at either 5:30pm or 8:30pm which is a huge bummer and none of them accept early pickup which is another bummer. I asked one of my good friends to stay at the house until it comes tomorrow and I'm using the pre-sign form from the Apple Store Order Status page. Has anyone used this before? I figure my friend will be here 30 minutes after the start of my delivery quote so that should cover it if it comes in that 30 minutes he's not here. Thanks for the suggestions!!!!

Shipping time estimate may not be accurate. Tracking status states arrival 3pm but package arrived around 11am. I also used the pre-signed option good thing my neighbors (or passers by) did not take interest in the 2 apple watches just sitting on the porch for 4.5 hrs.
 
Uk?

Anyone have a dispatched confirmation for the 42mm yet in UK?

Sydney, Australia xx:03 confirmation SS link 38mm. Credit card charged and preparing for shipment.

I am currently in Fiji. It should be delivered by the time I get back.
 
Nope, been PFD for 24 hours now

I made a MASSIVE assumption yesterday when I got my P4D confirmation early (9am) and booked today off expecting it to deliver as per most orders, i.e. next day.
Feel like a **** now :(

Yup, attempted Preparing for Shipping yesterday morning, dispatched around 9 last night, missed delivery at 9:10 this morning

Ahh, that is ROTTEN. How did you miss it?
 
Anyone in UK got a dispatch for a SS Link watch? We had lots of movement yesterday on orders, but 24 hours later I'm languishing in preparing hell?

Nada, moved to Preparing for Dispatch about 24 hours ago and no movement since then, no card charge or shipping notification :(
Looks like today's off the cards, hopefully tomorrow...

Yup, definitely hoping for tomorrow. Was so happy for the dispatch notification yesterday, now it feels like a taunt, lol.
 
8:02. It's been said before but use the Apple Store app next time

Missed because we got shipping notification last night and two minutes later we got text to say there is a funeral at 8:45 this morning. My wife's been in contact with the driver and he said he'll get it to her today

Nobody knows what they are "going for" since there's no way to know what these are actually selling for once the deals are made.
 
Planes, Planes, Planes!!! We need more planes!!! :mad:

Who else has a June shipping that's driving them crazy?!?!?!
 
heh. I saw a 42mm space black with LB that they wanted a $1200 premium for a June delivery. Just nuts!! :)

I'd imagine come middle of May prices will drop when they realize hardly anyone will pay that. I got a SS 42 Link for $200 premium off eBay.
 
Any one else try and remove the band?
It's quite hard with the Link, quite inflexible so you kinda have to do both sides at once

Yeah, I felt like I was going to break it trying to take it off. Too bad I ordered another band, I'm never going to be able to change them out!
 
I think I remember read in an online manual that you need to remove the band from the watch before releasing the links. Not sure if that is what you guys did, or are talking about.

Sorry, I did misread that. Same guide said to have the clasp open too when removing the band.

The instructions for the link bracelet state that the bracelet should be 'broken' apart first by using one of the link removal buttons - and then dealing with each half separately (before reconnecting the bracelet back together). It clearly states not to try and change the band whilst it's still in one piece.
 
First day!

Separate one of the links, then slide it off.

Lol! I just told them that and my watch is still on the truck for delivery. It's a no brainer.
