So @LFC2020 got me thinking about leather links. This is my black on my new S7, what colour would you go for next? I can get a 44mm Baltic on the UK Apple store but I was thinking the dark cherry or new green. Leaning towards the cherry as I kept my S5 SSG and I think it would match that perfectly...more than the SS Silver?
 
Has anyone here got shipping from DHL to UK? My tracking hasn’t got an estimated date although Apple still say 27th - surely since it’s already shipped it’s going to be here sometime next week?
I got a DHL sms Thursday AM advising me item picked up. DHL hasn’t updated the tracking since then!

Apple Store still telling me delivery expected between 19-21 this coming week. But no official estimated delivery date yet on the DHL tracking….surely it’s not been sat in China since Thursday AM? Maybe we will see more updates tomorrow!

Nice combo you got there 👌 can’t beat silver stainless steel and a black leather watch band.

Waiting on my midnight leather band to arrive, hopefully I can find a Baltic blue 44mm leather band somewhere, apple is only selling the 40 mm over here. 🤦‍♂️ then I might have a break for a while, already got 2 solo loops, 1 sport loop and a midnight leather band on the way. 🤦‍♂️😂

I would definitely grab the Baltic blue band, looks amazing with the silver stainless steel.

A few of us are having the same issue. All our tracking hasn’t updated since Wednesday last week. My estimated delivery is 19 Oct and I can’t see how it can get here in two days.

EDIT: Done!!!!!

Congrats!!! I’m so jealous, can’t find a 44mm Baltic blue band anywhere over here.

Expecting to see plenty of photos of that new gorgeous band when you get it.
Been tempted with another LL for ages, as well as the Hermes Circuit H band....the LL was cheaper and would pass the "Oh didn't I mention I bought that darling" wife test when quizzed how much I had spent on "Your Apple obsession"
 
Had the exact same problem with mine lol, thought I was going to scratch mine, that’s how hard it was to get out of that damn pouch.

You got a fancy red pouch, I got a cheap looking grey pouch. 😂

Thank you. Fancy only in the photos. The material is not very high quality, I bet it’s the same as yours and all the others.

Dark cherry looks absolutely lux on the silver (and all colors really) SS models! See this video for a good example of the dark cherry leather link and braided loop being modeled:


If I could afford an apple watch and particularly cared to own one, that’s what I want 😻.
 
As promised, a few more pics with the Lady in Red:

I bet I’ll take more pics of it the following days. I am so in love with it! Although it was a tough decision between the green, the blue and this one, the Lady in Red won my heart. ❤️ ♥️

Ahhh, this is refreshing. Thank you for posting the pictures. The Apple Watch looks amazing. I love how you unboxed it. It’s like a story telling with pictures. Such a great color. I love it. Get ready to get a lot of compliments! Congratulations! Hope you enjoy your Apple Watch :) looking forward to more pictures ahead.
 
Hahaha I think I’m getting a little over excited now. Further movement…

I think my watch is now on UPS11 heading to Cologne/Bonn in Germany but I could be wrong!

Yay! Happy and safe travels. You are on the move. Finally out of China :) Next stop is Anchorage, Alaska :) dress warm!

If it makes you feel any better, my watch band is still at preparing to ship 🥺😂

Watch band replacement is on the way. 👌

Have to call apple AGAJN 🤦‍♂️ so they can send a courier to pickup my old watch band 😁😂

I told you @LFC2020 dark cherry is the color to get. You over here ordering basic outdated colors smh.

You wouldn’t have that problem if you order a titanium model next year :).

Remember the time when the Apple Watch pouch was made out of microfiber cloth. Apple is really trying to save as much as they can. I’ll let you know what I’ll have inside the titanium Watch :)
 
So my watch has gone from Shanghai to South Korea and due for delivery on Tuesday, whereas my elderly neighbour ordered his from Amazon for next day delivery! I had my order confirmation 1 minute after preorders went live as well.
He asked me to set it up for him last night, definitely a nice blue and screen looks great!
Ah well, he only has the sport band and I’ve got the sport loop :p

Thank you! 🌹 I took way more pictures than I posted but it takes too long on the phone to upload them so I chose only a few.
