Just heard back from MB&F that I was picked for their M.A.D.2 raffle (I have entered the raffle each time). So this should be coming to me in the next few weeks or months. Not too excited to pay 31% tariff on it. Maybe I'll get lucky. Fourth green dial watch...
M.A.D. is the (much!) lower priced small series production from MB&F. It uses a La Joux-Perret G101 movement with a custom jumping hour module.

New Indigofera Copeland, in an awesome beige stripe on indigo fabric.

IH flannel & H. Moser….

I just took delivery of my 2nd Good Wear jacket. I'm lucky enough to live 30mn away...

NWA, the only MB&F I’ll ever be able to afford. Very cool, and fun piece.

Amazing fabric.

Pourring Penicillin cocktails in IH black denim shirt yesterday…

Speaking of new / re-edition models, I like that better:

Made an entire meal from Ottolenghi’s Shelf Love book testerday.

Fish koftah in ancho sauce

Confit tandori chickpeas

Greens & chermoula pie

Lime & poppy seed slaw with curry leaf oil

Coconut dream cake

Beautiful buns!

I made some country-style pate over the week end.

Made the Ottolenghi's coconut dream cake again, this time as a 2-layer round cake. Just as good as a sheet cake, but looks better.

This is what I had yesterday night. Homemade Vietnamese style banh mi sandwich, with chicken. Was delish!

New warch arrival… This is an Omega De Ville 4533.31. I’ve been looking for a “true”, or traveller’s, dual time watch, and that one was one of my top choices.

Persian Love Cake…

Blancpain 50 Fathoms 70th Anniversary model in 9k "bronze gold" is pretty sweet...

We had lamb yesterday night as well.

Went to a Rolex store in Mexico 2 weeks ago. Was able to try on the Explorer II which I have been lusting over. It's thicker than its measurement would suggest. The sales person told me that it can be had within 1 year in Mexico. Seems faster than in the US.

Made an apricot tart. Easy & delicious….

The Seamaster 300 "summer blue" is a very attractive piece I find. I'm not in the market for a dive watch at this time, but if I were this would be a strong contestant.
