Also have the grey Delugs strap which I really like.
It is a bit shocking how well this watch wears on my 6.75” wrist. The short lugs and how the caseback conforms to the wrist curvature is so unique in my experience. I find myself wearing the clover FAR more than I would have ever guessed. Even after a couple months of ownership, which is past the typical honeymoon period for me. ![]() |

Moved the MAD1 deployant to the delugs strap. Works well. As previously noted in this thread, believe you need a 1.2mm screwdriver to remove/add the clasp.

Check Etsy, get a strap custom made to your specs.

On the MB&F shop site, what’s the difference between “enquire” and “waiting list”? When can I expect them to contact me after submitting for “enquire”?

All rubber (not sailcloth tho look it) and they are quite nice imho (from Aliexpress no less!). The yellow strap does not quite match imho, ahhhh well. The red works really nicely and got orange/blue because... orange :)

Curved.
PS: The Love version's rotor seems easier to spin than the others, and easier to keep going for many minutes.

Even I did notice that the rotor seems to spin way easier and keeps spinning for long , the added weight of the colored arms helping. Max had mentioned they had to recalibrate the weight distribution of the tungsten rotor to accomodate the colors.

Is anyone looking to pick up a green Lucky Clover? I received mine and as I feared, it's a bit to "high profile" for my wearing tastes. While I like it, it's going to dwell in the safe, under my ownership. I'm not looking to flip for profit, instead I'd first push the option to some of the "luckier" tribe members that were successful on the prior releases, but then ineligible for the "lucky clover".
Mods, please delete if not allowed, with my apologies. |

DHL delivered my Lucky Clover yesterday, I was away for a couple of weeks so I asked them to delay shipping my watch until I got back, for sure it’s a fun watch.

Purple would be epic!!! Also good to see you MUST submit a valid Credit Card as part of the entry.
![]() PS: As always, if i don't win one in the lottery, am open to getting one from a TRF member ![]() Untitled-1.jpg

Maybe a purple MAD1? Not sure having a large hold on your account is a good idea though, but whatever.

If I wind up winning and not liking it I’ll reach out to you and just do it at cost. So let me know if you enter and don’t get one. |

I think the hint here is: "With a Twist". Let's see what is being cooked up for us. And interestingly that I have yet received the email to offer this piece for the Tribe and only this one for the raffle.

Full sentence, “A new raffle with a twist is on the way”. I took that to mean the new raffle system is now credit card information required. Am I reading it wrong? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

So. I read a post on this a while ago and vaguely recall signing up - there may have been some beer consumed so can’t quite remember what I signed up for.
Also received this email today and was hoping it would be mentioned here - how do these work? Can I assume we at least get to see the watch and know the price before the draw? Or is it always just a colour variation of the same - 2,900 CHF at whatever exchange rate plus tax… |

My guess... it'll be shown soon at the watch event, and around the same time the lottery opens. Yes you'll need a payment to reserve, and i did this with an H. Moser LE RG Vanta lottery in the past. All good
