Wow! 25,000 entrants!
I'm under the impression that there were only a VERY SMALL number of people who refused the allocated watches. More than expected decided to exercise the purchase option. Thus, perhaps, I would guess only a couple hundred to a few hundred pieces would be allocated to the drawing. Nevertheless. MB&F and even its new sub-brand M.A.D. Watches are both tiny manufacturers. M.A.D. Watches' products are actually assembled by the MB&F watchmakers! Even though it's really a modified Miyota movement, it's still a lot of work just to assemble, test, and QC hundreds of these watches.

I did not send them email to ask the exact number.
The video they posted on the instagram claimed this number.

All joking aside, as I know that the MB&F team struggled and really wanted to figure out a fair way to execute this project, I do have to say this is a fair system. Unlike the system at Rolex, which goes to whichever customer is going to buy more jewelry ...
I really like the way they treat their customers/potential customers
I think it shows a great attitude and a huge amount of class to contact all even if they have not been successful in being allocated a watch and find even the way the let you know with "We regret to inform you the draw has not been favourable to you" show...
Same here
Unfortunately not one of the lucky allocated . Still i believe this is a very fair way to go VS what is done in most of the other big brands for new comers. In the same spirit i have appreciated a lot the CZAPEK communication saying that they are closing ...
I agree
AP, ROLEX always have a long waiting list, sometimes over 7 years. I don't think I can wait 7 years just for a watch with mass production.
