I thought the medium strap is supposed to go from 16.5cm up to 19cm which is 6.5 to 7.5 inch? 6 3/4 should be perfect. Does the strap come short?

I’m not the best at uploading photos but I hope this helps to show how the strap doesn’t fit that well for me. I don’t have large wrists but as you can see it barely leaves room. The large strap has the opposite problem.

Delivery is from October to February. You should get an email when it is ready to ship. I think it usually comes on a Friday. It takes about a week to get to the US and DHL will collect custom duty before releasing the shipment.

At least this is my last experience with the previous Red. Can’t wait for the green to arrive. But I start to feel silly for collecting four of them now.

I think this may be a repost but yes, I was fortunate enough to have received one.

The reason why you may not see any of the GMT limited edition on grey market is that only 30 were made and the back engraving did say that it was meant for family and friends of the Corvo family. I doubt anyone who received one would sell it since for one I do feel strongly connected to them. Very nice people and treat their customers with utmost care and respect. Also super passionate and knowledgeable about watches. Cannot say enough good things about them.

That is an awesome collection of MAD1's. Which one do you think will be most sought after in 5 to 10 years? (assuming they are all discontinued)

Not so soon when plenty of watch enthusiasts have not been given the opportunity to own 1 MAD1. Thanks to flippers no less.

Agree, the GMT Milano. They stopped making the red when the Green was announced. I'd assume they'll end the green when the next color is offered. Blue is still customer-only.

Oh, if they ever did a Mint Milano, that would be yummy!

For the raffle winners I believe the expectation is to make a complete payment up front, as opposed to a down payment. I know there are mixed feelings about such a practice by brands, but no mention of concern in the case of MB&F. Is this due to a short promised delivery time, or just the nature of a raffle piece??
Since they’ve conducted previous successful raffles where everyone is happy with the product, I’m assuming it’s their track record and big name that gives them a pass.

Armis, rest assured you can trust MB&F / M.A.D.1. Buy with confidence

PS: If for some reason you choose not to partake, i'd be happy to take your reservation as do keep and wear them all. In fact, might hand it off to my Mayors / WoS AD sales gentlemen your reservation as he deserves to have one within his collection

Aren't you already a tribe member meaning you have access to the green anyways?

Almost was, yet as fate would have it some things changed on my end. My summer bday celebration went from LM101 Willy Wonka and Bel Canto purple, to zilch. Am sure the AD found another for the LM101, and the Bel Canto was production delayed to November.

My incredible wife, fantastic family, and fun friends made my bday special. Alas, no timepieces tho.

I just received a shipment notification for the MAD One Green. This is much faster than previous ones. Even though the order page did say October to February 2024 delivery, I was expecting a delivery closer to January 2024. Not complaining though. :-)
