MB&F HM3 "The Frog" Watch Hands-On
"Ribbit..." Here is the first derivative watch based on the MB&F Horological Machine # 3 (HM3) (which I wrote about here). While MB&F releases about one brand new watch each year, they also have special models based on their standard collection of Horological Machines. This watch will be known as the MB&F HM3 "The Frog." There are two versions of the watch - one in a darker, PVD black coated titanium with a green toned 22k gold automatic rotor (12 pieces), and a titanum version with a blue 22k gold automatic rotor (20 pieces). That is a total of 32 HM3 Frog watches in total. Both look pretty interesting, with this bug-eyed (I mean amphibian) eyed watch having no analogs in the watch world.Why the "Frog?" According the MB&F one of their customers said the two dome-like structures on the original HM3 looked like frog's eyes sticking out of water - as frogs enjoy being in water with their eyes exposed to look for prey.

Issue with a seller need advice on AP ASAP
I need everyone's advice since this hasn't happened to me before on TRF. I put down a deposit on a watch that needed to be polished 2 weeks ago and the seller told me it would be ready Monday. I txt him Monday and he responded by saying the watch had gone for a polish. I paid \\$500 to secure the watch and I'm still waiting I've seen other AP's n been approached by multiple sellers to buy. I have sold many watches on the forum and beyond. I don't like making my people wait for their watches. At the least I keep them updated on progress nothing from this seller? I'm sick of waiting and he hasn't been in contact which is not making me happy. Also he is having the watch polished from a non AP service center and I don't know if they will ruin the case and bezels sharpness as the dent was minor but it was on the bezel and the edge of the beveled part in particular!What should I do?.......wait or ask for my deposit back and call it quits? I understand he is busy but jeez send me a mess

Blnr for 233 ?
Hi everyone, The more I see the 233, the more I want to own in. Just wondering what are everyone's thoughts on a possible trade. I'd rather not have the additional expense of adding another piece, so I have been considering trading my BLNR towards/for a 233. So I figure I'd post and get suggestions from fellow members. Thanks,
