Snagged a gold stainless with Milanese when one popped up this morning to replace my space black that has a dead pixel. Crafty tactics from Apple, upselling me to a more expensive band by giving me a dodgy screen.

Where did you manage to get it from?

Which particular store?
Apple Princesshay (Exeter), Apple Chapelfield (Norwich) and Apple Braehead (Glasgow) have an available 44mm Gold SS right now.

EDIT: Only the Princesshay one is with white sport band, other 2 are with gold milanese loop.

Just walked into Apple Store in Arndale and they had a SG 44mm Alu WIFI model with Sport Loop, even tough istocknow and Apple websites indicated no stock.So it help to just check your nearest store for stock.

Plenty of stock alerts today... iStock is great.

No worries!

By the way, I’m not a really sad aficianado who just drives round apple stores all day! I work in M&S stores and just happened to have calls at Lakeside & Bluewater today!
Lol if on your travels you come across a space black please let me know

Thanks, just created an alert on iStock - have the uk stores been receiving Space Black stock?

I’ve had a little script I knocked together monitoring all the London stores for stock since Saturday and nothing has appeared online for in store pick up yet
