Another autographed item to add to the mix - a pretty special combo IMHO

"Watchmaking" BOOK - signed by George Daniel AND Roger Smith together. Dated 1999, which would have been just when they were working on the Daniels Anniversary pieces design AND when the first Omega De Ville Limited Edition model was released with George\

I actually tried on a Daniels anniversary a few days ago and felt that the RW Smith series 2 was more appealing. Not just the price but the Daniels only comes in yellow gold and I am partial to rose (as you are to white) and the lugs of the RW Smith curve
