Just in time for Christmas
By: samwan : December 23rd, 2016-01:27
I waited patiently for almost two years for the Roger Smith Series Two and....it came in just before Christmas Eve!!! Amidst my excitement, you must pardon the mug shots taken with a smart phone... It comes in a nice box - the C in the serial number stand...
Thanks!

I learned a lot in this forum, as I gradually built up my collection. There are many lessons along the way, as you can imagine... Best Sam

That\'s an insane collection ... perfection !!
An exceptional collection you have, Sam.
By: ztirual : December 24th, 2016-07:32
Exceptional! So much diversity! It seems you have one for every mood and occasion. I wonder how this period of the beginning of the millennium will be judged in say 50 years. Probably a 'vintage' period if not a swan song? And your collection is one formi...
You are absolutely right
By: samwan : December 25th, 2016-06:40
Each piece has its own story. I have come a rather long way to building my present portfolio, with countless joys and regrets along the this juncture, approximately one-third of my collection are from independent watchmakers, along with prominent brands ...
Thanks Nicolas

Missed you while you were in HK (I was away) Best Sa,
That is a fantastic looking watch!
By: COUNT DE MONET : December 23rd, 2016-03:05
Lovely decorations on the dial: the floral centre decoration will need some time to be fully explored ! Best Moritz
Thanks Moritz
By: samwan : December 23rd, 2016-03:15
The engraving turns out better than I expected. Best Sam
Thanks

I deliberated between the Series Two and George Daniels,and settled eventually on this piece ...
Wow! Major acquisition.
By: Arie - Mr Orange : December 23rd, 2016-04:44
You will probably only have eyes for your wrist the coming days....don\'t forget to look up every now and then to see the family at your dinner table ;-) Congratulations with your piece of art!! Merry Xmas!
Yes indeed :)
By: samwan : December 23rd, 2016-06:42
For sure this piece will be one of my favorites, if no the most treasured timepiece in my collection. I do intend to spend lots of time with my family...Despite the warm weather,.this promises to be a very joyful Christmas.... And happy holidays to you as...
Thank you for sharing Sam!
By: sham1 : December 23rd, 2016-04:44
And many congratulations on an exquisite watch! Two years is pretty quick for a Series 2 because I just placed an order last month and Roger told me that it would be ready in 2020! He obviously likes you more than me! May I ask if the engravings on the di...
So we have similar tastes!
By: samwan : December 23rd, 2016-05:23
I just checked my order again - it was placed in September last year, so the lead time was much quicker than I thought, though it seemed like an eternity I know this makes 2020 sound rather bad, but I placed the order through an agent that Roger uses in H...
Thanks for the info Sam!
By: sham1 : December 23rd, 2016-05:34
I have ordered the last available 38mm rose gold case (40mm is a bit large for me). I have only paid the required 10% deposit which suits me just fine! That perhaps explains why your watch was expedited. Actually, I am quite happy to wait for my watch - i...
this is by far my most favorite brand / watch ever
By: Bruno.M1 : December 23rd, 2016-06:36
I love some Panerai, Rolex, Patek, Lange But if I could afford it .. a Smith would be my dream watch Far above Dufour or Voutilainen .... Those 2 would on the other hand still be my dream piece nr 3 and 3 Saw 2 or 3 of them in 2006 when I met Mr Smith ......
Congratulations!
By: ZeroHour : December 23rd, 2016-06:57
This is a grail watch for me. In your collection is that a salmon dialed Observatoire? Merry Christmas to you and yours! Sincerely and Respectfully Joseph
Thanks Joseph
By: samwan : December 23rd, 2016-07:17
Yes, it is an Observatoire in white gold.
My pleasure

The size, the weight, the dial layout, the Roman indices, the movement, the finishing and the engraving....
Congratulations
By: ztirual : December 23rd, 2016-10:46
absolutely stunning. And what a timing!
Congrats Sam on No.68.c and wear it in the best of health.
By: shani : December 23rd, 2016-14:34
You did a great job with the engraving and especially on the movement. I own Series 2 and in the future I plan to have the movement engraved similar to your watch. Have a happy and healthy holiday season and enjoy that exception work of art.
Glad you approve

What a magnificent watch to add to your already stunning collection. You are a true patron of the art of Horology Happy New Year.
Congratulations Sam!

Worth the wait I am sure. That dial and plate decoration!!! Love the Series 2.
Thanks Ryan
By: samwan : January 1st, 2017-17:32
The watch turned out to be better than I imagined. The engraving was a terrific idea and Roger's work is much more refined than his earlier work....
