I was walking around the Pavilion shopping complex in Kuala Lumpur (KL) this afternoon (one of the many benefits of being retired!) when I walked into one of the more illustrious watch shops and came across this beauty. Prior to returning to KL, I had bee...  

And I'm happy 24/24 7/7 to own one The winding is indeed orgasmic and it wears so comfortably. A keeper ! ...  

Is yours in steel, white gold or platinum? Do you find it heavy and is it keeping good time?! You have a great tastes!!

Steel, apart from being better value, also looks better than the rose gold in my opinion. Coupled with its lighter weight, all I now need is a treasure chest!!

One less grail on my list

I had the privilege to try on brand new stainless steel Signature One (sorry for the poor photos especially compared to Maltie's) - this could be the last stainless steel piece available. ...  

Buyitbuyitbuyit.

I would need to sell almost all my watches my friend and I actually love those watches very much. Hey guess what, my son just qualified as a Barrister at Law so perhaps one day he can spoil me with a Signature One!

I believe there should not be any compromises - it is the stainless steel or nothing at all. I would hate to think that I had to 'settle' for the rose gold model Thanks though for your feedback!

Your observations are most useful and I await the Series 2 with much anticipation

I stand corrected.

Link Here I've never seen either in person, but I would pick the Series 2 hands down. A more interesting and artistic watch IMO, a true end-game piece! An open-dial series 2 could be a good compromise between the aesthetics of the signature 1 and the guil... 

but I think he took the middle ground. Yes I too am partial to the RW Smith simply because I am more of a traditional guy who likes most things classic. The Signature One may not be as futuristic as the offerings from Urwerk or MB&F but it can never b... 

Was there plastic on it or remnants of the previous admirer’s lunch? Sorry to be a whiner but I want a clear view of the innards! Cazalea

In South East Asia, ADs tend to wrap the entire watch in plastic probably due to the demands of their potential clients. I did not want to ask for the plastic to be removed unless I was seriously considering the purchase which I am not in a position to un...
