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..

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

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.

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.

Hey all,

Those who got the watch on medium or large strap, would you mind sharing what is the length of the strap on both sides please?

Also any aftermarket strap option as I could only find Delugs, but they are out of stock for a while?

I got the medium but even though I have small wrists it was too tight. So I got the large one but that one was too big. I wound up combining the medium and large together until the Delugs one is back in stock. Unfortunately it’s been out of stock for a while which has been very frustrating.

Still I love the watch but yea at least for me I definitely need an aftermarket strap.

Thanks! Unfortunately this one is not available either at the moment.
Any issues with straight straps at lugs?


I have reached out to MB&F yesterday as they were supposed to send Large with my order. They acknowledged the error on their end and today morning I received an additional large strap free of charge. Outstanding customer service!

None imho. Use the curved spring bars.
