Congrats to those who were lucky enough to be able to get one!
IF secondary ever goes down I may snag one but not at the asking prices I've seen.

Prices secondary on these were north of $10k at one point and have dropped significantly (which is nuts). I think I saw a few listed at around $5k recently.

For those who have seen both MAD watches in person which is nicer? Blue and white or the black red

i have yet to see one in the flesh - but the price difference between the two is significant - the red on chrono continues to drop - currently lowest one i saw was in $5k range - while the blue is almost 2x asking.

Blue is only for MB&F Tribe members, so significantly less available compared to the Red. Probably 2/3rd of the people who entered the raffle of Red also bought it for profit..

Which of course the brand claim to hate (I've spoken to max about this at an event) but resellers help with hype and hype is great branding for them.

If you buy a Red do you qualify to become a tribe member?

MAD is not an MB&F. Only a MB&F owner (new or pre owned) can be a Tribe member.

I ordered mine about a half hour after recieving the email notice and just recieved the watch yesterday.

Overall I'd say it is much like described in this thread. It is carnival ride in that it is big, loud, and fun. Very much outside of my normal aesthetic, but I love the story and what it means. I'll wear it when I want something fun and a talking point.

+1 wondering if you were in the original lotto or the second round

Just got an email that my second raffle draw would be shipped by end of Aug at the latest.

I got the same email. I’m so happy I’ll get to enjoy this with the summer/fall weather.

I put in the order just minutes after the raffle was in my favour and already recieved it two weeks ago. The rotor is a little underwhelming. It is hard to get it spinning. There is also a wobble in it actually making me wonder if it has an issue. It is also very very loud. Besides that it is a cool piece nonetheless.

Check out IG posts. The rotor should spin freely if you know how to flick your wrist. Give it a few more tries and see if you can figure it out.

My rotor is free spinning but I do also notice a wobble. My is super quite tho.

The wobble almost feels as though the rotor is not seated correctly.

because it's a miyota, it's normal

Yup, totally normal as the heavier side of the rotor makes it wobble a bit.

All good

Thought I saw a MAD 1 for sale....was on Watchrecon I think. Somehow, these are getting on the secondary market.

There is about 30 of them on sale at various prices on one of the watch sales platforms.

Somehow lol he’s raffling them off. I suspect a great deal of them are bought for speculative purposes even though there’s hardly any juice in it.

It's hilarious because the listings are all "another watch unexpectedly came up so I'm selling this one" .... Uh, yeah .. right - which is why they're all in brand new sealed condition?

My last email update send latest end of Aug but hope it comes sooner! Would love to rock this earlier in the summer months.

Hopefully the size is manageable on my skinny wrists!

I ordered both but thinking I may just do the blue one? Idk it’s almost a situation where I felt obliged to order them as I have an MBF. I think my son will really get a kick out of it (hes 4).

Yeah I bought one

[enjoythemusic]

Get both, and I'm always on the lookout for a blue at sane pricing since I wear 'em.
