I wonder if I have been blacklisted for turning down the red.
Not sure if any mad1 can be called subdued. When I've worn it ppl say what the hell is that. In a good or bad way, it's unclear.

Oh U mean all tribe members are allowed to buy the green without going through the raffle?

I was offered the Red and the Green. It is probably a token of appreciation from MB&F.

Yeah they actually solicit the tribe members with an email asking if you want one. Hard to say no.

If you are an owner of a MB&F piece - not MAD One - then you are offered to purchase a blue in addition to whatever color that's current. So before red was discontinued, you could order Blue and Red. Now, you can order Blue and Green. And you can only get one piece per color.

As others have said, you need to have an MB&F timepiece to be a member of the Tribe. If you get something like an MB&F X L'Epee 1839 (Sherman, etc) that also does not qualify... tho Sherman is soooo cool so get one anyway :)

You can only get one per color regardless of how many LMs or HMs you own. One really good thing is that even if you acquire the MB&F piece as a second owner, you can still register and be offered a Blue and future MAD One's.

Wow that's a nice gesture to tribe members. I guess all tribe members will get their watches before the raffle winners.

Now tribe can have blue, red and green together

Would love an orange and a purple M.A.D.1. They really are fun pieces and decided to collect and wear them all. Pic a color depending on outfit/mood

...and for 'theme' pic.

There are quite a few tribe members who have received their green mad1 as they shared their NWA on Instagram.

Wonder any raffle winner have received shipping notification?

Tribe members get to order on the day the raffle is announced and their watches ship first.

Nice little mad1 collection. Is the 3rd one in the pic just steel/grey? I didn't know that existed.

Was only aware of the blue red and green

The 3rd is a limited edition from GMT Italia. It is kind of a champagne golden green.

Raffle

Overall really cool watch. The Milano one is awesome.

I know that for the raffle, there are people who have "won" multiple times (i.e. a Red AND a Green) but there are tons of people who have yet to have the opportunity to purchase.

I hope they can increase production so that many people get the opportunity to try out this piece.

I thought you cannot enter the raffle if you already won it once?

Nope. The green raffle is open to all, regardless of you have ever won previously or been keep losing. Hence it's so much difficult for this green.

Seems like raffle winner will have to wait pretty long

I just got a notification that mine is scheduled to deliver "around end of February". Has anyone received a MAD 1 well before the estimated date? Waiting 4 months when I'm seeing folks with them already is cruel lol

I received notification for end of December delivery, so I guess I’m lucky one in the raffle process.
