Follow up to the blue (think there's at least one of those on here) - who's signing up?

I am torn in what I think about this - think it's one of those watches where to a random person it's a terrible monstrosity, but the more you read the story of MB&F and the concept, you get sucked in.
Fingers crossed for me!
Interesting. Never heard of them before.
I like that! It actually looks like a bit of a bargain
It’s an amazing bit of Engineering
They have built some amazing watches over the years, for the price this has to be the best
I'm in, thats cooler than a penguin's arse.
Intriguing...£2,345 for one, though presumably some duty to pay on top of that.
Saw one of the original black models of these at the last Redbar meeting. Proper bit of horology for not a huge amount of coin. I’m in with fingers crossed!
That's stunning! I'm in!
That’s bonkers. I love it!

It does not state how many they will make… so the lottery could not be a lottery. I am in a happy if I get one but could just be a smart bit of marketing
What an interesting watch and a looker too, pity it's such a lump.

There is indeed at least one of the blue M.A.D.1s on here!

Have you tried it on?
Not sure that, in the current context, the acronym added to MB&F is such a good idea.
But a wonderful thing to do, I wholeheartedly approve both the way ch and the chosen process to acquire it. And Max Busser is one of the most approachable people I have met in the industry.

I have the utmost respect for what MB&F do, I love the look of this, too, and would get on the list at 1/5th the price. But... this is a basically a Kickstarter microbrand offer in all but name, right down to its (excellent) Miyota movement, and were it actually from some no-name, this rather lovely thing would be getting sneered out-of-court!
Damn nice watch though . . . This has 'future collector's-item' all over it
That was the one I had in mind Paul! Did you have a thread anywhere on it? It’s a difficult name to search

I thought it was either crazyp or uktotty who had one - I didn't get the hint from lawnmowerman's post!
Think that they call you to say… you won!

Gather you just fill in as paying and it sends you an order number /conformation?
I think the raffle was yesterday, anyone here been lucky? No joy here, assuming people have now been contacted.
Not everyone has been contacted, but I know of one that has not been successful.
They said it would be 24hours before all the mails were sent and that everyone would receive notification irrespective. I’ve not received a mail yet but am waiting with crossed everything.
I got the rejection email - clearly no one put in a good word for me! Apparently another run next year, so fingers crossed!
I've had the email to say I was not successful.
Nothing as yet!
Nothing yet either
Also unsuccessful.
No luck for me 😔
Nothing yet. Still hope.
Nvm it was in spam.

Bugger just got the email I'm out too
Me too. Unsuccessful.
No joy for me either, found it in my junk folder.
Nothing here yet, reading on wus that 75% went to “friends of friends” leaving only 450 for the lottery and 25,000 entries. There will be another release next year with all being allocated to another lottery.
yes, they made 1200 pcs but anyone that expressed an interest in the blue was automatically assigned one and anyone at watches and wonders that asked were also offered one so all in all I can't imagine there were many truly available for the lottery.
Long day, didn’t read the email properly, just assumed it was a rejection. This is totally mental, can’t believe it.
Nice one Wiley, well done mate.
3 grand for a Miyota? And folk were sneering at Kurono!
Mine was in the spam folder too, and like you wileeeeeey I had to read it twice.
Congratulations to you both, great news and enjoy!
Congrats, Wileeey and TheWatchbloke.
Congrats TWB, should be fun in the incoming thread later on this year.
Congrats to both who got one - very excited to see photos!
I got the rejection email. It went in my junk. Thanks to this thread for flagging the draw was yesterday - I would never have checked otherwise!
Likewise!
Valid point.
Without this forum (and thread) I wouldn’t have known about the lottery or checked my email yesterday.
Have popped something into the fundraiser as a thank you.
Brilliant to see that some have actually been able to get one. Really looking forward to seeing these.
