Milanese band only, June delivery

Still sitting on by April 10th order with no movement for the 42mm band with delivery date 22 to 29 June.
In the meantime all 42mm watches with Milanese band ordered in April are shipping. New orders of the watch are 2 - 3 weeks.
I cancelled my Milanese watch order since I certainly expected the band to be here earlier. I guess I was severely wrong and I am on a 11 week path. Really ?
Is anyone here with a 42mm band seeing any movement?

It seems still no movement for anyone.
At this time it looks that they are mass producing since they are adjusting the window week to week. We probably have to wait until 22 to 29 June and can't count on getting them early. The current production is going just into bands for the watch. The 42mm watch with Milanese band is on 2-3 weeks since two or three weeks.
I was able to buy a ML on Craigslist last night for $180.. cancelled my order. I didn't want to wait another 3+ weeks.
My 38mm ML came yesterday. Exactly 1 week to deliver from order. Good luck to everyone waiting...it is worth it!
Wait...you ordered the band on 4/10 and still haven't received it? This doesn't make me feel good about my June 1st order for the 42 band. I'm tempted to cancel and order a Leather Loop since they are shipping now.
EDIT - My 6/1 order for the 42mm ML band is slated for a 7/13-7/20 delivery.
There seems to be a big difference between countries, my late may 42mm US order is still listed as 13-20 Jul.
New 42mm orders are listed as 1-2 weeks in the UK and 5-6 in the US.
Same here, the look of the leather loop has really grown on me...
It's insane: The US store now lists as well 1 - 2 weeks. My April 10 order is still on 5-6 weeks with a window of 22 to 29 June.
So, if I order now, I could get it potentially earlier than my order place more than 8 weeks ago?
How is the rest here? Delivery dates adjusted or still at later than 1 - 2 weeks delivery dates?
Regarding Leather Loop: Looks good, but is not water and sweat resistance and I am a lot outdoors.
No, if you order now you'll get it later, they still ship the first orders first even though the "ships in x-x weeks" make it look different.
They really must have solved some production issues since they seem to ship all bands ordered from the beginning of April to the end of May at the same time.
I keep checking the 2 Apple stores that are in a decent distance to me and they never have any Milanese bands. Now that the website says 1 to 2 weeks I wonder if I should take a chance on that or just try still waiting for the Apple stores to get them?
I'd say just order from the website. There's no guarantee when the stores will have them, at least you'll get a firm date from the website.
I ordered on Tuesday of this week and my delivery window is now the 19th - 26th June. So it's not too long to wait.
