I have an MB&F so was able to order the day it was announced. Just so nobody thinks I won the raffle and got it before them etc

A truly wonderful timepiece (collect them all), and yes this is an aftermarket strap.

Love love love the M.A.D.1 series :)

Shameless ask.... If anyone has a Milano they'd like to offer to a **true enthusiast** for decades who wears them, please PM me :)

Congrats Steven and props to GB man who's so generous to offer this to someone else rather than keeping or selling to get some profits.

Ur photo is really nice esp still capturing the MAD1 while the rotor is spinning. Cool!

Thanks everyone, and this timepiece has a very special 'Mom' meaning to me... Here's why:

Let GB Man know yesterday and he's been a very kind gentleman, yet time to go 'public' with this info. Yesterday my mom was once again in the hospital, her time has been truly glorious over the past 80+ years, smart, funny, sharp as a tack, and very loving and kind. She has (very understandably considering the circumstances) requested that her time will soon come to an end. Late last night she asked us to....

All of our family are by her side today (Saturday), as we wish her a fond farewell.

Green was the color she insisted upon....

Thank you for sharing about your mother. My condolences to you and your family. Touching that the color has the sentimental meaning behind it.

Sorry to hear that about your mom Steven. Hopefully having the green M.A.D. 1 on your wrist brings you some warmth to you and your family. GB-man is definitely all class.

Thx Ed, most appreciated and all our family was with her today. She has transitioned after a life very, very well-lived.

Asking tribe members; are all members offered the chance to buy the green even though you already had the blue and red?

That's true collectorship (if there is a such a word)

Congrats to both of you!

Thanks for sharing. No wonder the recent posts of the green mad1 are all by tribe members.

This shines some light on the total amt of green that will be produced; far more than the 1500 pieces for raffle winners.

Received an email that my watch was shipped this morning! Can't wait for it to arrive. I wonder how long the delivery from Switzerland to the USA will take.

Either way, super excited to have this in my hands soon!
