I was offered the Red and the Green. It is probably a token of appreciation from MB&F.

Yeah they actually solicit the tribe members with an email asking if you want one. Hard to say no.

I won the red MAD1 raffle, but turned it down. I thought about it, and figured the red was not something I could really wear.

The green was more subdued (if you can call it that), but I didn't win this time around.

I wonder if I have been blacklisted for turning down the red.

I don’t think. The raffle seems to be as fair as it can be. I doubt they’d exclude you.

Not sure if any mad1 can be called subdued. When I've worn it ppl say what the hell is that. In a good or bad way, it's unclear.

As others have said, you need to have an MB&F timepiece to be a member of the Tribe. If you get something like an MB&F X L'Epee 1839 (Sherman, etc) that also does not qualify... tho Sherman is soooo cool so get one anyway :)

Would love an orange and a purple M.A.D.1. They really are fun pieces and decided to collect and wear them all. Pic a color depending on outfit/mood

...and for 'theme' pic.

There are quite a few tribe members who have received their green mad1 as they shared their NWA on Instagram.

Wonder any raffle winner have received shipping notification?

Tribe members get to order on the day the raffle is announced and their watches ship first.

Nice little mad1 collection. Is the 3rd one in the pic just steel/grey? I didn't know that existed.

Was only aware of the blue red and green

The 3rd is a limited edition from GMT Italia. It is kind of a champagne golden green.

Raffle

Overall really cool watch. The Milano one is awesome.

I know that for the raffle, there are people who have "won" multiple times (i.e. a Red AND a Green) but there are tons of people who have yet to have the opportunity to purchase.

I hope they can increase production so that many people get the opportunity to try out this piece.

I thought you cannot enter the raffle if you already won it once?

I just got a notification that mine is scheduled to deliver "around end of February". Has anyone received a MAD 1 well before the estimated date? Waiting 4 months when I'm seeing folks with them already is cruel lol

I received notification for end of December delivery, so I guess I’m lucky one in the raffle process.

Thx to the VERY kind member of TRF, the awesome GB-man, he very kindly offered me his M.A.D.1 Green (he knows i collect and wear them all). 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!

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

Congrats to both of you!
