I ordered an extra smaller strap because I'm slightly between medium and small.

How do I properly switch all the metal parts onto the new strap? Has anyone here done it on a MAD 1 strap? I can see a small screw on top but I have no idea (or common sense/logic) how it works and if I should remove it first. I have googled and looked on youtube but most other straps are different.

Had the same issue - small screwdriver needed for that screw. Once you find the right size (1.2? - I have a large set and can't remember which size exactly but think that is it), it was fairly quick and easy.

FWIW, it took very little force to unscrew and easily put back together. Got a delugs nubuck strap in grey that looks great

Yes, 1.2mm is correct

Short recap, I received my Lucky Clover a couple of weeks ago and I absolutely love it. I had no idea what to expect, would it wear too big?, would it be a waste of money?, would it be a silly purchase, ... but I absolutely love it. It's a fun watch, something I needed, something that's not really known.

Even on my smaller wrists it wears well and sits perfectly, not heavy and bulky at all like a Seiko SKX feels and wears.

My delivery was supposed to be end of June. Got an email a couple of days ago that it was “a few days late”. Expected to ship end of next week (end of June) and arrive the first week of July. Looking forward to it!

If you send an email, you will get a link to order a strap.

Yes, a gold version exists, but it was an extremly limited series for "family and close" relatives. At least if I remember his story correctly.

Yes, you are right, it will be! Hnestly, that watch was probably the best looking from the pictures from MAD1. It's a shame that only 30 of them were made

I've never heard of it, but I'd be interested to see what it looks like Couldn't this also have been a GMT Milano?

100% agree! For the first time ever, i LOVE the included strap of an MB&F / M.A.D.1.

Hi MAX B, we need more of this
