Gary_g's original post, humorously titled 'Another swing… and a miss…', sparked a lively debate within the WatchProSite community. While initially questioning the legitimacy of a watch lottery, gary_g's post serves as a valuable entry point into a broader discussion about the M.A.D. Editions' unique approach to watch distribution and collector sentiment. This article synthesizes the community's varied perspectives on the M.A.D. Editions' lottery system and the watches themselves.
And a miss…

Does anyone know someone who actually won one of these?!? Or is it just a scam?!?
Key Points from the Discussion
- The M.A.D. Editions lottery is not a scam; it's a legitimate, albeit often unfavorable, distribution method. Accusations of scams or schadenfreude are unfair to the vendor.
- Despite not winning previous raffles, some collectors continue to participate, even purchasing related items like the 'lucky clover,' indicating ongoing engagement with the brand's unique strategy.
- Some collectors, initially drawn in by hype, express regret for participating in lotteries for watches they don't genuinely desire, vowing not to repeat the experience.
- The M.A.D. Editions, characterized by their distinctive turtle/tortue-shaped cases, are considered interesting timepieces by some, encouraging continued participation in their lotteries.
- A counter-perspective suggests that the novelty of M.A.D. Editions watches may have worn off for some, with their aesthetic being described as 'ugly,' questioning their continued appeal.
