I really love the color of the case.

It's just this beautiful, subtle shade of brown that would be great with so many outfits! Thanks for the video of the rotor turning -- great to see it spinning like that! Cheers, Daos

...some! this piece is truly amazing! It already comes a live in the pictures, what will the effect be in real life ::jaw-drop::
OK....I just "got" the resemblance

Anthony, Thansk for the 'live' pictures. I saw the posting the first time and now again.......when I "got" the resemblance with Mr Froggy. The last photo in your posting really showed this. Also the ones with yummy ChocoFrog on Mr Froggy's wrist. Regards,...
It took me awhile, but I too have finally gotten the "nickname..."

I was just showing ChocoFrog to a journalist who had seen the "standard" Frog, and turned the right way (ie, from the OBSERVER's perspective, not the wearer's) the resemblence to Keropi is unmistakeable. Anthony's pics really captures this very very well....
The videos are very helpful ...

... to understand the three-dimensionality of this piece. And the rotor is a lot of fun, as you mention. It's become my favorite MB&F. Although I am not extroverted enough to wear one! Andrew
I don't know exactly why, but...

...your videos made me appreciate this watch much more than any photo. Could you satisfy my curiosity, Anthony? In the first video, from where the chimes in the background come from? The rotor speed is really incredible as the duration of its spinning. Do...
The chimes in the background is just background noise

I don't recall any chime noises when I took the video, so I guess there was a truck backing up (big trucks have that chiming warning) when I was taking the video? And yes, you do feel the vibration when the rotor is spinning that fast. Cheers, Anthony
You do hear and feel it a bit on the Frogs
By: SteveH : January 6th, 2011-08:32
because the case is so light (titanium). It's definitely not as pronounced as a 7750 and you hear it much more than you can feel it. On the gold non-frog pieces, with the heavier case, you can only hear or feel it if you are really paying attention. Best,...
Steve, can I ask how 'tough' ....

... those sapphire 'eyes' are? I know most of us are fairly careful with our watches, but those protruding eyes could easily be wacked against objects. Are they any less robust than a standard sapphire crystal? Have you had any examples of breakage? Thank...
It's a beaut.

It's a great looking watch! Thank you for the fantastic photos! Especially liked the picture with the watch strapped on the Keroppi frog's arm.
