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 😊

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.

Nice watch Russel. Logo a little bit Big. Wish you all the success with that watch and many more to come. Merci mon ami.

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 KZread channels period. Glad to see something like this happen for you. Well deserved. Congrats bro!

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.

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.

Among all the KZreadrs 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!

That is a beautiful watch. Almost as beautiful as the scenery you were walking through in the beginning.

Really like this. Too small for my giant wrist but you can see the love gone into the design. Bravo!

Congratulations MWC! It’s a proper stunner! I can’t wait to order one!

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 😂 …. 🍻

Holy shit! This is a solid watch! Hey Mad Watch Collector, thanks for all the vids, a great attitude, and now….an AWESOME watch.

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. 😊😊😊

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.

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 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 !!!!

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!!!

Congratulations on the release! While other KZread 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.

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!

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

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.

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!⌚

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!

Congratulations to everyone involved! Too small for me (unfortunately) but no doubt a lovely looking piece.

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.)

Wishing you every success with your Collab, great spec, love the dial and the petina lume, so glad you went with a no date, looks great on a leather strap, proper old school, these will fly off the shelves for sure, would love to see a larger case size at some point

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)

Beautiful, Russell!!! Love it so much. Congratulations, may 8y sell out instantly! 👊🏻

Nailed it Russ, take my money, bought one even though I've got a Hamilton Khaki,

Mad Hacker field and JOMW diver to cover the land and sea. Cool to see enthusiasts bring their designs and passion to other enthusiasts!

This is amazing. I'm planning on an overland trip around Africa for a year, this is going to be a great companion!

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.

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!

This one is surely a winner that would sell out quickly! Congratulations again!

Well done Russ! Big congrats. I'm saving for my one big watch (3861 speedy hesalite... selling my IWC Mark 16 to fund partially), otherwise this would have been an option... The screw down bit is odd, but I'm sure you gave it a lot of consideration and decided that you can make it work on a manual wind watch. The look is great - classic and a tiny bit quirky. Love the Omega inspiration. Hope you sell many many and start working on version 2.0

You’re BRILLIANT! This watch ROCKS! Now can you please make a watch with 3, 6, 9, 12 dial!

Congratulations on finishing this project. I'm glad more enthusiasts are into vintage revivals and a return to the basics.

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.

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.

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.. . 😅

@petrokersta5293

⁠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.

Wow! Love it……but please make version 2 a 39mm. Congratulations!

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!

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.

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.

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 😂

That’s a great watch right there. Drilled lug holes. Yes. Love it. 😊

hi Russ, Congrats on a lovely collaboration! i love the thought behind it and many of the elements. (my fave dirty dozen, like you, is the Vertex M100A) i’m sure it will do very well and hope you make a few changes (some mentioned) other that the drilled lugs before production. looking forward to your next Video!

Gorgeous watch Russel! Congrats to you and Radcliffe. Props to you guys for daring to release a 36 mm watch! Great design and inspiration 👏🏻

Very well done Russ!👏🏼 I have quite a number of field watches from WW2 thru to Vietnam. So this really ticks my boxes mate! I also have a pretty good collection of WW1 trench watches. Anyway ordered one & now the wait.😎👍🏼🇦🇺

Well, you've just created a watch I was thinking of doing myselft, i.e. my business has been just killed 😂. Great watch, looking forward to seeing it in person.

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.

Excellent design and there's loads of 'you' in it, Russ - and that's a major selling point. Purchased one 🙂

Nice looking watch and different enough which can’t be easy when designing a field watch. Good job.

In love with it I love these kind of simple retro watches with nato straps. Hope the delivery is done worldwide ❤

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.

Just ordered mine and cant wait for it to arrive, I am intersted to see how it stacks up to my Series 002 pink lemonade. From what I have seen I think the mad hacker is the watch that the series 002 should have been. Congrats on a stunning watch.

It looks awesome! If I hadn't use - last week - purchased an Elliot Brown as my 'go everywhere, do everything' watch then I may well have pushed the button on this. I hope it goes well for you... good luck!

Nice looking watch! Wishing you all the best and hope you ll enjoy it now it's ready and finished!🎉🎉🎉 Looks like you need some sleep and good resting though... Take care!

Love the unusual numeral font and the perfect length of the minute hand. 36mm is way below my personal sweet spot (8inch wrist). How wide is the glass? I'm wearing a 43.5mm diver today, though I just measured the glass and its only 32mm.

One detail that was extremely common on field and military watches from the 40s (which NOONE seems to do…) is 5 - 55 minute counters on the dial. The new norm seems to be to just add a fat marker behind the hour numerals instead of 5, 10, 15, etc. I’d LOVE to see more watches with the classic vibe with this detail!

Beautiful! Congrats on all the hard work. Well deserved.
