M.a.d.1 red raffle

Wear them

Stop making me feel bad I lost the raffle lol.

For the second year in a row I wasn't successful as well. I'm happy for the ones that were able to secure and enjoy this watch.
Its comforting to see the prices on C24 dropping, and that other options like the CW Bel Canto exist without raffles.

I lost for 2 years in a row also…

Lost here as well. But gotta say, I think the uniqueness of the design and the brand is what makes this so compelling. It may not have the finishing of a "real" MB&F, but it's definitely got the DNA.

Congrats for the winners, probably I will join the tribe later

Awww man, sorry 'bout that. Why not just go grey if you really, reeeeeally want one?

True story, so last month i attended a luxury show and on purpose did not wear the M.A.D.1 because I felt it's best to be a bit low-key timepiece-wise (wore the Czapek Monochrome). Saved a bundle of time (not) talking timepieces to newbies and had wonderful conversations with true hardcore timepiece friends. Two knew of Czapek but never saw one, think one placed an order recently after seeing mine. Look, I love chatting with newbies, but my schedule was super tight that show.

The M.A.D.1 is better than expected, bits are very good quality, and wears really well. Drop by a grey and try it on.

Albert at European Watch Company has a blue and red one right now. Buy both and save :)

No need to apologize I was just joking around. I appreciate you sharing your opinions on it.

I like it a lot and really want one but not enough to go gray in this case.

And yea I can totally see not wanting to wearing it under certain circumstances. Definitely a conversation piece and also a signal to certain watch nerds how much of an aficionado you are.

I’m gonna just keep on trying these raffles until I get one. Hopefully it’ll happen sooner than later.

Thanks again for the feedback!

I think there will be quite a few more of raffles and I wish you luck. Going grey is definitely not worth it. I love mine for $2000 and $3000 I paid for them but the $5000-6000 asked for in the grey market is definitely not worth it.

In fact, I don't think there are really any modern in production watch which should go for above MSRP.

Lost the raffle also....really want one

Did anyone get a few weeks ago an email verifying yourself due to suspicious info or whatever it was? Found that odd

[ndrs63]

Looks like I won’t be wearing one either for at least another year

Those are great prices. Take it with a pinch of salt but the lowest price on Chrono is almost double that

I was successful but mine is going back in the pool so hopefully someone can yet get a surprise

[travisb]

[enjoythemusic]

Congrats Travis!

I got the same email making sure I was a real person. They probably got a bunch of bot accounts registered for the raffle. I lost as well this round 0/2. Oh well maybe next run

[Noahgraph]

I got one! I lose the raffle but was given the opportunity by a good watch friend. Very excited! Also have a Bel Canto incoming so I guess that brings some cool quirkiness to the collection.

They are listed all over the place for 5-6k and I’ve never seen one get marked sold. Very niche product and not an MBF product.

How come?

Expect to be bombarded with private messages… not from me.

Funny thing, if the MAD Red was widely available, nobody would care. This is why I don’t think your watch is going back to the pool

Since registering for the raffle I joined the Tribe. Being a Tribe member gives access to Blue, Red or Both. I have a Blue arriving soon.
