I have a 42 Milanese ordered on 21 April and it still hasn't shipped. Is yours a 38?
Mine is a 42mm, ordered in the UK on the 16th of May.
It's out for delivery right now.
It went from PFS to shipped in about 20 minutes? I went to PFS a couple hours ago and it's still there. Wish mine would deliver tomorrow.

The same for me for my April 10 order. But a few hours it moved to shipped. However delivery per Apple email is Saturday. Florida seems to take a day longer ... FedEx tracking number is not active yet.
Yep. Mine went to "shipped" an hour ago. Delivery is Monday according to Apple. UPS says it's coming from Tennessee to here in Florida.
My 42mm Milanese from April 11 FINALLY shipped yesterday with a delivery date of Monday June 22 (argh, weekends!)... the original ship window was June 22-29... it's still on time technically, but 2 1/2 months?
Just went to shipped. Label has been created but it hasn't been picked up. It was ordered 21 April so it looks like it didn't matter when you ordered. I guess they just made one big batch. I hope it was worth the wait. I have been going back and forth between the Milanese and the link.
I feel the same way. 10 weeks is quite a time. Now they are shipping ground. They waited to ship the April, May and June orders at the same time. They at least could have shipped the early orders (April 10 to 24) via next day air as they did the watches.
Mine is currently sitting in a UPS facility only a few miles from me. I could go pick it up, but they are closed on weekends. I've waited two months for this, but, strangely, waiting these last two days are the hardest.
Has anyone experienced the leather loop making a squeaking sound or rattle when you turn your wrist? I have the SBSS and today for the first time put on a leather loop, but this rattle is driving me nuts. Would there be a leather polish that would quiet the sound?
After wearing it a couple of hours, it all sorted itself out. No more noise!

Just wanted to throw my two cents in here. Ordered a 42mm SS link bracelet around 11pm ET on Tuesday, June 16. Showed a 3-5 business day lead time, and had an estimated delivery date of June 23-25.
To my surprise, it shipped about 12 hours after ordering and delivered on June 18. From ordering to receipt was just about 36 hours! Talk about under promise and over deliver!

Is that the stone leather loop? It looks amazing. Sadly they didn't make one for the 38 mm watch. I wish Apple would have made one for us 38 mm adapters.

I ordered a leather loop version from China for my 38mm. I'll let you know how it looks when I get it.
Brown modern buckle ordered today. Says will ship in 1-2 weeks. Will let you know
edit: canceled order. This band became available for in-store pick up at a store near me (San Jose) so, heck, I'm doing that instead. Keep checking inventories if you are close to an Apple Store. Things seem rather fluid.
