Roger Smith Series 2 in rose gold with customized engraving... Pictures taken by my good friend Ogygia, a professional photographer, set against watch box made by David Lindley... Thanks for looking. Hope you like them Sam ...  

that only gets better and better each year. For people like me who didn't get it last time, lots of regrets. Thanks for sharing. It is truly a beautiful and meaningful piece. Harder to get a meaningful piece .

Never too late... I was lucky and waited just over a year after I paid in full. Now I heard the waiting time is three years.....

Yes, engraving on the dial, the movement, and even the crown....

You must be over the moon with it!

It is not my most expensive piece but certainly one of my favorites....

I really like his watches (and the person too )

and a real gentleman

Such a gorgeous and timeless watch 👌🏻😘 Also amazing pics btw

my heart skipped a beat

you last posted this watch on the forum and I have been missing looking at it. These latest set of photos bring out the special character and finishing that is RW Smith! Magnifique!!

You did order one, did you not? Quite a long wait though

so only two more years to go which is fine with me as I have been busy quenching my thirst with lesser vices

....Smith & Lindley at the top of their trade. Best, regards, John.

comes with a yellow plastic box (which looks like a tool box) for the owner to ship the watch back for servicing. I won't be using it a lot (i hope) but the idea is a cool one

You might know my soft spot for beautiful indies so you can easilly imagine how I envy you (positively 😉). RW is not only a top watchmaker, he is a real artist ! Enjoy it a lot (it should not be too difficult ) and wear it in the best of your health ! Mik... 

I am leaning towards indies in my collection journey, as you can see from my recent posts

The entire piece is quite exceptional, in fact!

turns out to be better than I imagined

but unfortunately not for my budget

I would say

and I find it a superb move, because I had always a bit difficulties to appreciate the visuals of the RWS watches (a columnist once used the word "archaic" for the visuals). Particularly the engraving on the dial "softens" for me the appearance. A superb ... 

a friend showed me the engraved version and I immediately resolved that I should get one....

What a guy and what a watch! Truly in line with his master George Daniels, but making a lot more watches to fulfil demand for extremely high craftsmanship. A watch from him would be my grail, nothing could beat it. You are a lucky man, and thanks again fo... 

In fact, the George Daniels watch began to grow on me as well.... :P

A constant source of distraction, in a positive sense

This is an amazing watch!!! Roger W. Smith, I think, makes some of the best watches in the world and yours testifies to this. I love the carvings on the dial and the movement is truly gorgeous. thank you for having a professional photographer take picture... 

and he obviously loves what he does, considering that he typically turns out only 10 watches a year....

Thank you for sharing! Best, Brandon

are some of the independent watchmakers I truly admire.....
