It’s nice but I much prefer the previous color options. I’m gonna pass on this one. Good luck to any who enter, hope you get it!

Pass for me too. Too much going on. I’d def change the strap but even with that, don’t like the enscription around dial. I’m sure there are 999 buyers though, it’s still fun

It's truly great to see Max finally doing something special and paying attention to strap design. Much needed and long overdue imho.
Wonder if Max is hiring a new strap designer for MB&F?

I am not sure. Definitely a funky take on an already funky watch. Probably will be less popular initially but then will become the most popular in the long run.

Not for me but I appreciate doing something other than a solid color as
It will appeal to certain people. With that said, really looking forward to getting my first (lucky green) next month! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

To me, the only potential downside is that it looks like they've lost the lume from the rotor. I have the red and seeing the rotor spinning when lume is activated is mesmerizing.
If the rotor still has lume, it's a winner. If it doesn't, it's not a winner. |

Opposing point of view. This is the only MAD1 that actually stands out. For a watch that was never understated in anyway, this one pushes it to the max.
While I agree that it's time to move to another architecture, this would be a great way to bow out. |

Got my green and I am happy with it. Going to pass on this one but I wished whoever got a ticket good luck.

This is a brilliant marketing move by MBF. It makes those watches accessible and they are fun to do (I would imagine it's fun anyway). I'm sure they are making a few bucks along the way. Why would they stop? |

I registered. I'll see what happens once they do the draw.
My favorite is the Red which I'm glad I have. |

Maybe I'll be the only one to say the alternative opinion: it turned out to be horribly cheesy, the real fun, the lume, has been lost. This kind of "diversity" is a little bit overhyped, so it mostly reminding me to this:

Feels like a perfect match for TLC to wear on their first album cover...

I love it, and entered into the raffle.
Also a real act of class: I got a mail explaining to me why this new version may be shipping out earlier than my lucky clover ordered months ago. Amazing to see they anticipate that his may be confusing and send out the info proactively. |

In the past I got an email confirming that I entered the raffle. It’s possible it might’ve changed for this one. I’d check your spam folder. Worst case DM them on Instagram. They are usually very good at responding that way.

No, but this is a known issue with their site. I received several emails saying that if I did not receive the confirmation e-mail, I should re-apply for the raffle. So register again until you receive the confirmation. If it doesn't work, write them an email!

Flippers flipping before the raffle has even ended?!
I’m guessing this is being flipped by a friend or supplier that received on early… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

That doesn’t look like a stock photo but photos of an actual watch on hand. Most likely it was a supplier or friend or someone from the tribe that had early access to the watch and is deciding to flip it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
