I ordered the 42 mm aluminum with green band at around 3:08 Eastern and I got a shipping time frame of 4/24-5/8 like everyone else. I just got a pending charge on my credit card and a preparing for shipment order status. I am assuming this means I will be getting my Watch on Friday.
A friend of mine in Savannah, GA ordered an identical watch at about the same time (maybe a minute or two earlier) and he had the same changes appear to his account just now.
Since they are charging our accounts I am assuming that means that our order status will switch to shipping shortly and that we will be getting our watches on 4/24. If they weren't shipping until next week or the week after, I think we would not have a pending charge yet.
