Roger is a great guy just to sit down and have breakfast with...
or any other meal for that matter, and talk about watches. I have to say that the open faced Series 2 looks great and while Roger's hand turned dials are a delight and rarely seen on a watch in this day and age, the open face shows the quality of workmans...
Ah, The Open Face Series 2
Jay and Andrew: The open clock-work dial on the Series 2 is one of the more beautifully finished piece I've seen in quite a long time. Your comments, Andrew, are like mine last week at a group dinner with Roger. The depth of the dial, the plates, the brid...
