MB&F HM3 Poison Dart Frog Watch
DISCLAIMER: Contrary to the name of this MB&F timepiece, making skin contact with it will not result in you being poisoned with deadly venom. That is what would happen if you started handling actual poison dart frogs (though I believe you would have to bite into a few of the safer ones to get poisoned). Which is sad, because they are really cute little creatures. I totally want to travel to South American jungles and witness first hand the petite deadly amphibians hopping around on the jungle floor.In this case, Poison Dart Frog is the name of the latest MB&F limited edition HM3 Frog watch. While I haven't been counting, it does seem that MB&F has been releasing a few more limited edition watches lately. The boutique brand's growing success gives them the ability to tackle more projects. I've written extensively on the HM3, HM3 Frog, and related limited editions.

Three On Three: Comparing The Patek Philippe 5170G, The Vacheron Constantin Harmony Chronograph, And
There is something special about a hand-finished, manually wound, in-house chronograph. It is a category that houses so many of the timepieces to which so many of us aspire to own – and today we will compare three of the very best available in the world today. This original HODINKEE Three On Three pits heavyweight contenders from A. Lange & Söhne, Vacheron Constantin, and Patek Philippe against one another in several categories: design, finishing, wearability, and collectibility.

The History Of The In-House, Manually Wound Chronograph The first thing that one must underst

Does Patek YG watch changes color over time.
Does Patek (other high end brands like Rolex) YG change color over time. The reason I ask is that I was at a PP AD the other day and I saw their new YG watch and then I saw a used one probably at least 10 years old or even way more. The use one looked... a little more rose gold like (but not outright like their rose gold, I would say in between). Now before you folks jump on my case. I had a trusted dealer admired to me once that one of his Rolex need to be lightly polish because the YG was turning red. It indicates to me that they do change color time just maybe not noticeable if you are wearing every day.
