Must admit that whilst they are interesting pieces i prefer the HM4 out of all of them. The only thing that screams at you is the price for the pieces.

Prices they were quoting today for the pieces were $68,000 for the Frog and HM4 was $167,000. There are huge taxes on watches (and imported cars) here in Thailand.

I actually had a chance to buy an HM2 for not too stupid money, but it's the one that doesn't work for me, although that sapphire one is the nicest of the bunch. HM4 is definitely my favourite so far.

What's your definition of "not too stupid money", Roff?

Around $35,000.

Still a lot of money, and blows the budget for a considerable period of time, but not bad for what it is.

Petty cash :wink: although a very nice discount from the original prices.

Gaudy looking things IMO. No doubt unique and different but my tastes just don't run that way.
