I just went into one of the Apple stores near me and got it yesterday. I swore I didn't like it when I first ordered my watch but I love it!! I just got back from getting the brown leather loop. I like that also. I still love my SSSB best but these bands have really made me happy to be able to switch out so much.
I just called the stores near me and had them check stock. They wont hold them or let you order, and they wont tell you how many they have but they will tell you the stock. I also called one of the stores and since they were busy it got the main Apple line and she was able to check the stores near me for me.
Oh and no when I ordered the band I got the Classic Leather Black Buckle. I don't like it.
