We got both the purple and the ice blue out. And noticed that the blue one spins much easier than the purple one, I wonder if it is some adjustment/QC variation.

Agree that the thinner profile makes the watch much more wearable. It looks so much smaller on the wrist compared to the original Mad One.

If anyone is unhappy with the QC, I’ll happily take it off your hands for full retail price :)

I’ve lost every raffle and missed the clover one :(

Might be variations, out of the four older ones here the LOVE version seems to spin the easiest.

PSA: Still WTB a Purple one.... pm me.

Yeah, I actually added it to my cart on Black Friday but still couldn’t justify the price, so I didn’t go through with the purchase. I think they were offering an extra Velcro strap with it too, but still…

On the topic of Delugs, I got the same thing from amazon, for a fraction of the price (CTS FKM with spring loaded clasp). I have a funny feeling they are all made in the same China factory so it's even harder to justify 5x price difference.

yes it is the same product, he is smart enough to market it well.
there's a ton of it on aliexpress.
however so, they have yet to manufacture one for curved lugs, so there you go.
it will happen soon enough
