PREORDER RIGHT HERE!!!! You’ve got till February 29th ! After that this watch will no longer be available! www.radcliffewatches.com/product-page/mad-watch-collector-x-radcliffe-field-watch
Aw, missed deadline, will it be being re-released in future? :) Also the one in your vids says ‘Mad Hacker’ but the one on the store says ‘M-HKR’ - why, why, why? Will you do a ‘Mad Hacker’ dial version? Great watch 😊
Hands up if you want one..I do. 😢
I'm an Army Vet and I'd rock that all day. 36mm is not my day to day, but 36mm was definitely my choice when I served. This looks highly functional and your enthusiasm and the beauty of this piece has won me over! Well done you Mad Man!😎
Excellent first watch, hope it sells very well.
TRAP!!!! Thank you so much for this my friend! The very best and big respect to you!
36mm without a diver's bezel wears kinda like a 40mm diver. Not small at all, really. Muhammad Ali rocked a miniscule Tank, no reason people with any size wrist can't rock this.
Thank you so much to everyone that has preordered the watch so far! You are all legends!!!!!! Part of the MadHackerClub soon!;)
Preorder RIGHT HERE!!! www.radcliffewatches.com/product-page/mad-watch-collector-x-radcliffe-field-watch
Don't ever mention drilled lugs on your channel every again. Big mistake
Ordered tonight buddy, hope it good 😊 lol 😜 jx
Congratulations on finishing this project. I'm glad more enthusiasts are into vintage revivals and a return to the basics.
Nice watch Russel. Logo a little bit Big. Wish you all the success with that watch and many more to come. Merci mon ami.
Just bought mine on the website in memory of my dad who was in Bomber Command. His watch has the same specs - 36mm, domed sapphire and manual wind. The dial is gorgeous. I know I'll love it.
What a *STUNNER!* What a beautiful vintage field watch. It really keeps to tradition while being modern. Its versatile, well sized, like a G-Shock you're not afraid to wear and use it and the price is dead on perfect. Well done Russel, well done. Good luck my friend this is a start to all good things to come, wish you all the best.
You’re one of my favorite watch channels and one of my favorite CZcams channels period. Glad to see something like this happen for you. Well deserved. Congrats bro!
Congratulations MWC! It’s a proper stunner! I can’t wait to order one!
I just switched out my Pixel Watch 2 that I got for free to a Casio A700. Now selling the Pixel Watch.
Discovered Casio through this channel and I can't be more happier!
That is a beautiful watch. Almost as beautiful as the scenery you were walking through in the beginning.
Holy shit!
This is a solid watch!
Hey Mad Watch Collector, thanks for all the vids, a great attitude, and now….an AWESOME watch.
Really like this. Too small for my giant wrist but you can see the love gone into the design. Bravo!
Among all the CZcamsrs watch colabs this is the only one that got my complete attention. Great watch, authentic and honest! Beautiful timepiece, sadly I don't have the money right now, hoping I can grab one in the near future!
Could barely wait until the end of your video to order!!! Just placed an order. LOVE the hand winding concept, LOVE the size, the looks, the colour of strap, the lug to lug, the lug width...EVERYTHING! Thank you so much. Congratulations on getting it soooo right. You are my FAVOURITE watch reviewer full stop.
Congratulations on the release! While other CZcams watch channels were busy bickering about others and lauding Rolex, Russell was busy making his dream watch come to life, while making great videos. You deserve all of the success you've had and will continue to have.
Love this matey!
Brilliant !
You should include the unused rotor as a Key Fob .
Maybe with a Laser Etched portrait of the Mad Hacker himself .
Not good looking enough …
Huh ?
That’s what she said 😂
…. 🍻
Congratulations Russell & Radcliffe 🎉 I own a few 36mm Watches love them 👍
Beautiful watch. Love every design aspect except.... My only gripe is that "Mad Hacker" text on the dial. Would have preferred "MH" or some kinda logo
Agree. Not that the world should revolve around Rolex - but I don’t think anyone should use a font larger than them. Overwhelms the face.
yes or Mad should be oke. pls make version where the text is simple one liner
I like the text 😀
Sterile dial!
MH on dial for me too.
This came exactly at a point of time that I was looking for a vintage styled field watch with modern specs; I've already pre-ordered!
Well done! You absolutely nailed it! Some really nice details here. Drilled lugs check, hand wind check, 36mm check. Dial design check, domed sapphire glass check, strap check, movement not bad, the only worry I would have is the screw down crown combined with a hand wind, I can see some novice watch owners striping the crown tub threads over time. Make sure to give clear instruction on how to hand wind and screw down the crown. 😊😊😊
Yeah, I had that problem with one of mine!
Yea, that's quite a baffling choice. Manual wind is a must for a field watch. I would have been happy with 100m water resistance with just gaskets.
@@WatchMatt same here.
genuinely impressed its a watch that speaks volumes for your taste in watches , field , dirty dozen .fantatic release russell at an astonishing price
Mad Hacker field and JOMW diver to cover the land and sea. Cool to see enthusiasts bring their designs and passion to other enthusiasts!
Some will complain but I think that using a modified automatic movement with a clutch for the winding so that you can still have a screw down crown is simple and brilliant. It solves the vintage but modern field watch conundrum that so many competitors can't quite nail. Love it 😘👌(chef's kisss)
All the very best with this, excellent looking watch. Phase ll should be 39mm / 40mm and I'm all in!
Booooo 36mm is *the* size for watches without bezels, embrace the return to small dials! (Teasing, preference and wrist sizes vary and the more variety the better)
I'm tempted, but 19cm wrist......
Congratulations! Happy for you... I like a lot about this watch, all of us watch people just can't help pointing out details we like and dislike, My only criticism would be the "Mad hacker" on the dial - MWC would be enough and look cooler-er, more military - Good job, I hope it's a successful
run. Would look cool on a leather bund strap
I agree 100% on the MWC on the dial. Also a screw in manual movement - I am skeptical about it's long term durability.
the logo could be shorter and in smaller font for sure
I think the problem there is there is already an MWC watches with those letters on the dials of their watches.
That is a lovely watch, I love field watches. All the proportions are perfect. I've already ordered one, and the video hasn't finished yet. Can't wait to stick it on my wrist !!!!
You’re BRILLIANT! This watch ROCKS! Now can you please make a watch with 3, 6, 9, 12 dial!
I feel like I've been waiting for this my entire life! The Mad Hacker, I absolutely LOVE THIS WATCH. I wear almost exclusively a field watch and this is just beautiful. I love the crown, the case, the railroad seconds track, manual winding to complete the vintage aesthetic. Winston Churchill himself would be proud of this sensational Mad Hacker.
You´re absolutely right! but the second should be longer to reach the railroad track... now it looks like decoration and not for use 🤔
Nailed it Russ, take my money, bought one even though I've got a Hamilton Khaki,
This is fantastic mate!
That’s a great watch right there. Drilled lug holes. Yes. Love it. 😊
Coolest intro and watch ever! Well done Russ. By far my favorite watch CZcams channel
Hi Russ,
Congrats on this watch. It’s looking great. I’m not quite sure about the patina - but hey it’s your choice.
Best wishes,
Claus
It’s perfect. You just made my Hamilton jealous. I’m going to buy one and she’ll be hiking the hills of California with me this summer!
iam soooo getting one!! greetings from new york and congrats!! on the MWC !!! love it i was in the U.S. ARMY ... love it !!
Congratulations to everyone involved! Too small for me (unfortunately) but no doubt a lovely looking piece.
Beautiful, Russell!!! Love it so much. Congratulations, may 8y sell out instantly! 👊🏻
Congratulations I’m so happy for you and the watch is right up my street. Love the numerals on the dial. Again congratulations you are smashing it!!!
Bangin' watch Russell! I love the bit of quirk to the numerals, yet a throw back to that vintage Omega. Nice choice altering the Miyota 9039 for hand winding...I can't believe how much real estate you gained in thickness from that move. Crystal looks fantastic!
You said we'd be surprised how it looks on an 8.5" Wrist... Well that's exactly my size and as luck would have it I also have a watch review channel.... Just saying! 😉
It is a real looker, that's for sure. I particularly enjoy the design of the chapter ring and the double triangle at 12.
The watch is absolutely stunning but I have a couple of concerns.
1. Mechanical watch + Screw down crown. Unscrewing and screwing the crown roughly every 2 days can lead to the threads wear earlier than it should.
2. An automatic movement turned into a hand-winder. The winding mechanism on automatic is not built the same way it's built on mechanicals and is more fragile and prone to wear. Hand winding on an automatic watch is there to occasionally help out and should by no means be used regularly.
Yeah just look at Selita SW200 and their helicopter-rotor… 😅 They don’t like to be hand wound!
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉 that’s awesome! Love the look and specs. A watch enthusiast dream come true. Congrats ❤
Congrats! And it looks tooltastic!
Wow! Love it……but please make version 2 a 39mm. Congratulations!
Nice one - already got my Hamilton though 😉
(There seems to be something wonky with the sound in the beginning shots. I only hear your voice on the left channel.)
Same here. Audio is left channel only
What an amazing accomplishment, and partnership
You don't have to worry about over-winding and get to keep the watch thin? Genius! Using an automatic movement and turning it into a manual wind watch. I approve!
Can't wait to see the precious reaction by the watchmakers when we go send it to servicing. This is brilliant 😂
Marvelous! I wish the hand dials could be brushed in a finer grit or beat blasted and polished in the edges including the inner edges touching the lume. The reversed "C" in Mad Hacker is somewhat off for me kinda hurt my eyes seeing it. WR 100 maybe should be a little smaller and thinner font. By the way congrats! This has a lot of potential. I enjoyed watching all your vids especially the showcasing the microbrands. They are smokin!
Agree with the C personally I'd of reversed the K or R.
The watch is great Russ, but... screw down crown on a manual wind. Yeah.
That was a common gripe about the Serica field watch. The latest version will have an automatic movement.
If you can screw down the crown on an automatic that can be manually wound, what’s the difference? I don’t get the gripe.
Someone would have a problem if it didn’t have a screw down crown
The difference is that you wind an automatic a couple times to get it going.
On a manual wind you have to unscrew the crown everyday to wind it.
The treads can be worn out pretty quickly that way. And then you need a new watch.. . 😅
One doesn’t need to wind an automatic movement for a watch to run as long as you wear it.
Manual movement needs to be periodically wound for a watch to run every second day or even daily. It puts a lot more wear on crown and threads.
I love it! The big MAD on the dial is awesome!! You can read it at a distance!!
You know what Russ… Not a bad name for your own watch brand… “MAD” watches! 😉
Congratulations Russ! Must be a great feeling to finally show off the watch. Tempted to get this wall clock for my wrist but it's similar to my Hamilton Khaki Day/Date Auto, although a baby version which my skinny wrist might appreciate.
Looks good. Iam not sure of the name, I think I would have preferred a logo, saying that the dial is clean and very legible. The number three is beating me up a bit Hmm.
Well done and good luck
A handwind watch with a screwdown crown for me it's a bit concerning. Otherwise it's absolutely beautiful and the proportions are spot on 👌
I hear ya my friend that’s why we used the automatic benefits
I belive that Pedro concern about the screwdown mechanism.
We need to unscrew and screw again everytime we want to wind.
You lost me at China.
Except it’s 36mm which is tiny and ridiculously small
@@victorutomo7244 ...exactly!
Awesome video quality! :) Change of scene looks refreshing!
I’m still taken by the slow mo run through the field…. Arousing and artistic…😂
Very nice. 36mm is just to small for me though. It does keep with the tradition and horology for sure. Excellent job.
Will you have bigger ones? 40-43 mm would fit my 7.5 wrist nicely❤
I think it's a pilots watch you are looking for, this is a field watch.
Congratulations Russ! Love the design!
Can’t wait to get mine. I love that it so simple and basic as a field watch should be IMO, but the Mad Hacker logo gives it just that little touch of whimsy that makes it one of a kind
For the first 3 minutes i could only hear you on my left side
Big advice!!!! Take the headphones out and let the family hear it to!!! Don’t be so selfish my friend!!!!;)
Looks like my cheap citizen
Bitter citizen owner here
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR that's a tautology
Brilliant. It’s elegant and toolish at the same time. I like song playing in the background in the front and my OCD thanks you for the slot on the 12 for hacking. This will be undoubtably a success!
Congrats Russell. It looks amazing 🎉
Oh no!
I love the watch but I can't like the "Mad hacker" logo. Sorry, just being honest. That's a deal breaker for me. Would have bought it in a heartbeat if it just read e.g. MWC. Sorry.
Really impressive effort, lovely watch, would have pulled the trigger if not for the logo/name.
Just to expand a bit. Something like MWC could have been a nice nod to IWC and CWC, who make similar watches, and a nice "inside joke".
I feel a bit like the "Mad Hacker" logo kind of belittles the otherwise absolutely wonderful and spot-on watch that you and Radcliffe have created.
300 GBP is supposed to be affordable?😂
yeah pretty much especially when you consider the time and effort in the design phase, working with the suppliers to get the components to spec, QC on the assembly and never really knowing how many units will actually be sold. They would have to peg a price somewhere to cover themselves and for something like this I would definitely say it's a good price.
@@askari_jones Good points, but why wouldn't I buy a reliable and time-tested Seiko, for the same price instead?
What price were you expecting?
Beautiful looking watch - fantastically proportioned! If I hadn't already bought a Vertex M100A recently then i would be ordering one of these. What a trench busting stunner!⌚
Beautiful! Congrats on all the hard work. Well deserved.
It is full of Pluses but one Minus: Unscrew the crown to wind the watch, thats going to take a toll. It will be a winner without the screwdowns. Its the closest to the purest dirty dozen!
Love it!! Glad you went hand-wind. I understand why you didn't go with fixed lugs, but that would have been pretty cool too. Well done!
Beautiful landscape
as a designer, I can say it looks nice. love the numerals and the crazy 9,3... Well done
Congratulations on this great looking piece.
the intro is superb!
Still can’t believe you pulled it of.
It’s almost unbelievable how great that looks!
36mm with 18mm lugs?
Congrats for your own watch design... Now we need a Flieger B-uhr :)
Hope it does well in sales.
Cheers!
Looks very good!!
Great watch.
It will become a collector as well as one worn in the outdoors.
Who ever buys? Enjoy.
Miyota 9039 turned to manual wind:
genius.
Very nice! Congrats.
mate its actually nice watch all a field watch need and the hacking movement feature is perfect
Great looking watch. Just had to order one.
Congratulations Russel, I wish you luck with this endeavor of yours.
Looks great! Congrats on the beautiful watch and thank you for all the fun and informative content!
So glad to see a field watch, let's go!!!!!!! Sign me up, mad lad.
Great looking watch. Love the change in direction of numerals.
Gorgeous watch Russel! Congrats to you and Radcliffe. Props to you guys for daring to release a 36 mm watch! Great design and inspiration 👏🏻
Excellent design and there's loads of 'you' in it, Russ - and that's a major selling point. Purchased one 🙂
Less than one minute into the video and I know I'll like this watch...
Nice! Reminds me of my 1998 Omega Dynamic. Which might have provided some small inspiration for this given that it was derived from old RAF pilots watches.
I really like that. My ideal daily is 37 to 39mm with a 20 but I understand. Like the track around the edge. I love the domed sapphire and the indices, including the slight patina. I like the hands. LOVE what you did with the movement. I might have gone with a sterile dial except for a logo. Really nice overall. I'd be undoubtedly be proud to have designed or co-designed this watch.
Love it, just love it!
Congratulations MWC! Beautiful work!
Congratulations and can’t wait to receive my new watch … great channel 🎉
This looks absolutely classy and sporty.
You did a marvelous job! Well done!
Just ordered one. Hope its quality is good. Your name is on it. 🤞love ur videos.
Looks like I finally found the perfect field watch cant wait for them to arrive!
Congrats Russell! Great looking watch!
This is amazing. I'm planning on an overland trip around Africa for a year, this is going to be a great companion!
Looks great. 36mm is good for me, for looks and wear - ironically, the thing that put me off of the Vertex M100 was the 40mm size.
