I'm one of them and will probably be one of the 1500 next year too I'd imagine.

Could the actual owners share their views on quality of the M.A.D. 1?

Thanks for sharing - what’s your favourite colour? I am looking forward to my green clover edition!

I do think if a purple one does land will be very attractive!

Also good luck to those unsuccessful, have to keep at it!

I have the red one. I love it. It’s super fun and the build quality is excellent. My only gripe is the strap. I feel like the medium sized one should’ve been a tad longer and it can be stiff. I’m very happy with the aftermarket strap I got from Delugs.

I have the red one (bought after market, but got a really good deal on it - $4K all in) and I really enjoy it.

It attracts a lot of attention from watch people but not from the general public. When I'm out, people who are into watches will stop and either ask about it or comment on it if they know what it is.

The build quality is good.

Agree with prior poster - strap size is tricky. I have the medium strap and it needs to be just about 5mm longer. I remember of reading somebody got the large strap replacement from MB&F and used the buckle side of the large strap with the clasp side of the medium and said it worked perfectly.

My wrist is 6.75" - YMMV.

Congrats on the green! Look fwd to wrist shots.

My fave color... Depends what color clothes I'm wearing. Of course green for St Patrick's Day. Red for Lunar New Year. Blue for when my wife has been holding out for a week.

Ok, that last one was a joke

I'm all-in for every color. Collect them all

Check your spam folder; that's where mine was. According to the email, your personal link should be good through Dec 15 (at least that's what mine said).

As someone else suggested I’d definitely check your spam folder. If one isn’t there I’d send them an email and ask why you didn’t get one.
