We never got down to the mail server time stamp which is ridiculous but just for fun.
Is this fun or are we just desperate for something to talk about since Apple has not said a peep since Friday or even updated Demos?
The threads have gotten a little boring. Scared to think I long to see the real shipping/tracking threads and the analysis THOSE are going to get.
All these Standard time zonesdid all of you folks forget to set your clocks forward last month, or what?
On the other hand, it's impressive that you Standard-zone orderers got the advantageous shipping dates you did, given that you were logging on more than an hour after preordering went live....
Email header timestaps are based on the server's time.
I received my order confirmation e-mail at 2:04am.
Sure hope those who ordered within the first 5 minutes will get their
Watch on the 24th!
If not, its only a watch right?
(Yeah right, I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas...its a strange thing what those shiny new products do to the mind and emotions isn't it? Every launch its the same thing....check the forums, check the order, check the forums, check the order...what is the definition of insanity again? Oh yeah doing the same thing over and over expecting different results!)

this is from orders.apple.com -> .mac.com, I don't know their internal email structure but the latency between these domains should be stupid low, I do remember however having a very noticable delay between getting this email and placing the order; I was sweating bullets the entire time.
I'm very fortunate I was still in the in the early order bucket for space gray sports; I wasted precious seconds going back and fourth on the app trying to get in store pickup.

You will hear a few different variations on the time, But I had my iPhone,iPad,iMac all going and the app went live at 12:02 and I had my order in within 30 sec of that. SS Space Black 4-6 weeks out. I doubt very many people beat me. No body got an order in before 12:02. If their email shows a time stamp earlier than that, it's a function of the time stamp being off somewhere.
