Marvel Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. Homage The MB&F HM3 Niche Luxury Watch
Credits: Mutant Enemy, ABC Studios, Marvel Television / Ariel Adams watches-dealerEver wonder what impact niche-appeal, high-end watches from small independent brands make on the larger general culture? This prop gadget from the Marvel Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. television show is how, and it illustrates how a niche luxury product is able to make a stylistic impact on a pop culture demographic that probably has no idea where the idea came from in the first place.In episode 11 (season 1) of ABC's new for 2013-2014 Joss Whedon-produced "Marvel Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D" television show, this item showed up as a wrist-worn tool. A distinctive item, it takes a true watch guy to understand exactly what the gadget was emulating. In the episode, a wrist gadget was developed and used which was clearly based on the MB&F HM3. We have an watches-dealer review of the MB&F Horlogical Machine No 3 here. The tool was featured in episode 11 "The Magical Place" and wasn't really a watch but more of a d

Introducing: The Richard Mille RM 011 Midnight Fire, Sold Exclusively In The Americas
Richard Mille has just announced the release of a new limited edition collection of 88 pieces, the RM011 Automatic Flyback Chronograph "Midnight Fire." The wristwatch will be sold exclusively in the Americas. "Midnight Fire" gets its name from the dark black TZP ceramic tonneau-form case. Tetragonal Zirconia Polycrystal is both hard, and very fracture resistant at room temperature and it has a very fine grain, allowing fine finishing. The case is highly resistant to scratches without being brittle. The matte finish is created by blasting the watch. The center case band of the tri-part case is made from NTPT® (North Thin Ply Technology) carbon. NTPT carbon is used in aerospace technology and the manufacture of racing sails, and Formula 1 race car design. The material is incredibly strong and light and is made from multiple layers of parallel filaments obtained by dividing carbon fibers. The thin layers are then laced with resin and then woven on a special machine

Danger, danger. . . Rusty has a thought!
I got to thinking over the weekend, what with the beautiful weather, how much trouble would I be in if there was a Hamilton dealer here? Aside from the occasional closeouts at Bj's, the closest dealer is 58 miles away. Foghorn's philosophy of seeing a watch before buying is starting to rub off on me. So......................................................................Would I go Hammie shopping every weekend? Would I be penniless in less than a year? Would my wife leave me for an Invicta man (shades of my former self!) or would she just leave PERIOD?For those of you who have the pleasure of a Hamilton dealer nearby, how do you handle it?

Scratches on Orange Monster's bezel. . .
So I got this OM WITH the scratches on it. It's a brushed finished bezel and i'm just wondering if anyone has suggestions for getting rid of the scratches. I tried the Bergoen scratch brush. . .but that's not really useful on something like this.Thoughts?-james
