At least this is my last experience with the previous Red. Can’t wait for the green to arrive. But I start to feel silly for collecting four of them now. ![]() |

Clipped? Umm... paying the sales tax is required in this State. Check your State for instructions. Did not realize that the policy started about two years ago, we're all good now.
Alas, they included a warranty replacement item (original defect went back to the dealer, so tax was already paid by Yours Truly), yet to send in the paperwork pointing out the replacement from Switzerland would have added more paperwork / time /effort so just sent funds for whatever they said and moved on. ![]()

California State franchise tax board is actually linked to US Custom. Most items which generates a custom bill would trigger CA sales tax. I have received tax bills from our great states too many times. ![]() |

![]() I think this may be a repost but yes, I was fortunate enough to have received one. The reason why you may not see any of the GMT limited edition on grey market is that only 30 were made and the back engraving did say that it was meant for family and friends of the Corvo family. I doubt anyone who received one would sell it since for one I do feel strongly connected to them. Very nice people and treat their customers with utmost care and respect. Also super passionate and knowledgeable about watches. Cannot say enough good things about them. |

Not so soon when plenty of watch enthusiasts have not been given the opportunity to own 1 MAD1. Thanks to flippers no less.

That is an awesome collection of MAD1's. Which one do you think will be most sought after in 5 to 10 years? (assuming they are all discontinued)

Agree, the GMT Milano. They stopped making the red when the Green was announced. I'd assume they'll end the green when the next color is offered. Blue is still customer-only.

For the raffle winners I believe the expectation is to make a complete payment up front, as opposed to a down payment. I know there are mixed feelings about such a practice by brands, but no mention of concern in the case of MB&F. Is this due to a short promised delivery time, or just the nature of a raffle piece??
![]() Since they’ve conducted previous successful raffles where everyone is happy with the product, I’m assuming it’s their track record and big name that gives them a pass. |

Armis, rest assured you can trust MB&F / M.A.D.1. Buy with confidence
![]() PS: If for some reason you choose not to partake, i'd be happy to take your reservation as do keep and wear them all. In fact, might hand it off to my Mayors / WoS AD sales gentlemen your reservation as he deserves to have one within his collection ![]()

Almost was, yet as fate would have it some things changed on my end. My summer bday celebration went from LM101 Willy Wonka and Bel Canto purple, to zilch. Am sure the AD found another for the LM101, and the Bel Canto was production delayed to November.
My incredible wife, fantastic family, and fun friends made my bday special. Alas, no timepieces tho.

I just received a shipment notification for the MAD One Green. This is much faster than previous ones. Even though the order page did say October to February 2024 delivery, I was expecting a delivery closer to January 2024. Not complaining though. :-)

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. |
