The foam box is actually consistent with their MB&F packaging. So you get the same foam outer box as their 100k+ watches.

I also like the included UV light to charge the lume.

For me - 100% the name. The pedigree is there, execution is mostly there...the name, though.

I was also told the end of August and I just got the shipping notification today. Hopefully you’ll get yours soon as well. It definitely seems like they’re under promising and over delivering on the shipping time.

Congratulations. I have hit the refresh button on my email inbox a few times and still nothing.

We are in the same boat. That ship notification can't come soon enough.

I've seen 3 brand new examples across my local watch sale groups this week - tad annoying they went to flippers (~$6kusd asking). Such is life i guess.

No shipping notices on my end either. For those who received your watches already - how long did it take from shipping to arrival?

I got notified that I won the raffle in March and paid for the watch in the same month. Got an email in late April that I would be expecting the watch by the end of June. Got a shipment notice in the 3rd week of May and I received it in the first week of June. The shipping notice has a tracking button links to DHL which you should be able to track it.

I know you asked about people who already received their watches but in case you’re interested. I got an email on May 24 saying to expect a delivery by the end of August at the latest. I got another email on June 14 saying my watch was on the way. I just got another email today saying my watch will be delivered on June 21. I’m based in the US if that matters.

So I finally got my M.A.D. Red 1 and I love it but I unfortunately made a mistake getting the medium strap. I have small wrists so I thought the medium strap would be the right choice but it’s just way too tight. I was gonna buy the Dark Grey Alcantara strap sold by Delugs but it’s currently sold out. So I’m currently stuck staring at this awesome and fun watch but it’s not on my wrist. I know this is a very First World Problem. Anyway just a heads up to any future buyers, I’d recommend getting the Large strap. Also it’s a very cool watch and definitely worth it.

I had the same issue. I contacted their customer service and they shipped out the large at no cost. I put that and it’s freaking huge. So I used the top strap of the large strap and the bottom strap from the medium. I don’t know if everyone has this problem, but I found the strap, although very nice, doesn’t function well.

Ok so it’s not just me lol. I’ll try and reach out to them and see what they say. Worst case scenario I’ll buy the Delugs one when it is available again. I just hate waiting because I wanna wear this thing so badly. It’s so much fun.

Lol, yeah the large is yuge, I had to punch another hole for my 7.25" wrist. Watch exceeds all expectations but the strap is meh. Love the watch, worth a custom strap.

I have the same wrist size. I ordered the medium strap. Sounds like I should have gone with the large.

I have medium and it works for me. I still have 2-3 holes left if I "grow".

Sorry, I meant I had to add another hole on the strap on the smaller end. Definitely should have gone with the medium, think you're good.

Also, these lugs are so cool, down turned almost creating a curved case back so the strap hugs the wrist but also tall and pronounced creating awesome reflections.
