I have the same wrist size. I ordered the medium strap. Sounds like I should have gone with the large.

I have medium and it works for me. I still have 2-3 holes left if I "grow".

Sorry, I meant I had to add another hole on the strap on the smaller end. Definitely should have gone with the medium, think you're good.

Also, these lugs are so cool, down turned almost creating a curved case back so the strap hugs the wrist but also tall and pronounced creating awesome reflections.

M.a.d.1 red raffle

Haven't received it yet. Got a message saying I needed to pay import duties. Did you guys have that as well?

I paid it and am still waiting. We'll see if it shows to tomorrow..

Yea. My watch was supposed to arrive on June 20th but I got the notification I owed import duties the same day. I paid it immediately but it seemed to delay the package by one day because I didn’t get it until June 21st.

Would you be willing to share how much $ your import duties came to? And what state you are in?

Yes import duties are due, and some States also want sales tax so be sure to look that up.

Was the import duties notification sent via DHL or MAD gallery?

Hi folks. I received mine and love it. I’m mystified by how the watch body is attached to the steel base. Is it glued? Or is there some other system of attachment that I can’t figure out?

My Red arrived yesterday. Almost 4 months earlier than expected. I'm pretty jazzed right now.
