but practically as long as one is reasonably healthy and indulges in other past times including of course watch collecting, the waiting time is not so bad really. Afterall, must we always have whatever we wish immediately?! I had to wait 56 years before m... 

Oh well, if it happens it happens. Enjoy your new watch. And the others too.

If you can make your way to Malaysia, I will find you the right woman and failing that, you will find the right watch!

I have a feeling that the watch would be less expensive 😁

But I would introduce you to a low maintenance life partner because I cannot have you sacrifice your passion for watches

Any Roger Smith is a god-tier grail. I especially love the engraving on the back of yours! Try to post more photos when you can!

Thank you!

… to purchase a watch were delivery was quoted 4 or 5 years out. Wait, what? Although I love this watchmaker and already own his stuff, I had to ask myself: who would sign up for such a long waiting period? Now I know who! Hope you enjoy your long-awaited... 

I am a bit weird as I prefer to wait for my purchases to arrive. It makes me treasure the item that much more and adds to the purchase experience in my opinion. Things that one has to wait for tend to be more exclusive and sought after - an Hermes bag, a ... 

I am glad that you like so many other esteemed collectors on this forum have acknowledged how special this piece is.

We have had a few discussions since you have picked up the piece. I am glad you have finally decided to show it off! Sublime watch, the rose gold is beautiful. Do let me know when you decide to wear it out Rahul

When might we be privileged to witness your new timepiece??!! I need company when it comes to showing off

I look forward to as many pictures and wrist shots as you care to upload. I think I may have to watch the Watchmaker’s Apprentice again! 👌🍻

I love that DVD! Will post more photos later today

Wonderful! Congratulations Sham 👍

I just had lunch with a fellow purist and brought the watch to show him. I have shown him many watches over the years and I have never seen him spending so much time examining a watch so meticulously with a loupe.

I believe they may be some of the best macros of a Series 1 ever taken! ...  

It is a movement that one cannot get bored of! Thanks George.

Roger is an incredible gem to add your collection...

I have noticed that when it sits next to me on my settee, I get the option of looking at the front and back of the case whereas if it is on my wrist, then, I miss ogling at the beauty of the movement!

If I ever do take a watch out with me, more often than not, it will be on my wrist. Occasionally it might be in a watch case but that's probably because I have another watch on my wrist Keeping a watch in my pocket is a big no no!

It is rare and beautiful and I feel so blessed and privileged at being its custodian.

It was definitely worth the wait!

A work of art which keeps amazingly accurate time too.

You know my motto since long "Less is more" so I could not agree more with you! Enjoy it fully and wear it in the very best of your health my friend! Needless to you that I am crazy excited about the idea of making a shooting with this one also when you w... 

Would it not be a better idea if you dropped by in Malaysia and took photos of all my watches?!! I doubt that I will be brave enough to bring both the Smith and Grossmann to Paris but I will definitely bring the Grossmann as promised. Please take care and... 

I certainly will.

Hi Sham, i think we are all curious about the presentation box and accessories it come with , would you mind to share with us? thank u

The watch came in a burgundy coloured box with a suede interior. There was not much in term of accessories apart from a letter signed by Roger Smith detailing the watch. ...  

thanks for the eye candy Sham. cheers

I especially liked the way the watch has been described in detail and the paperwork hand signed by Roger Smith. A nice touch!

Hi Sham , i wonder after you enjoy the beautiful watch for while how accurate is this piece?

It has been pretty accurate up to about 2 to 3 seconds daily. This is measuring it over a 30 day period. I personally did not expect it to be this accurate so it is an added bonus to the ownership experience. Credit to Roger Smith for the strict inhouse t... 

it has both of the world, accuracy, and aesthetic. do you mind sharing with us a few more pictures in different angles so we can see how is shines and feel of the watch? thank u Sham

I say 'near' because the 13.5mm height of the watch means I have to be careful when wearing the watch. I would have preferred the height to be 10mm!

Congrats Please share more !

I really need a decent photographer to capture the watch at its best. My skills and those of my friend's do not do it justice.

It was well worth the wait.

I actually like waiting for my watches as it makes the experience that much more memorable. Thank you!

I shall be in attendance.

I only discovered recently that the watch is a piece unique as it is the only configuration in this case size and dial. Most of the Series 1 have been in 40mm. This is one of three in 38mm and the only one with this dial so I am quite pleased by this.
