I mean… goddam what a watch.

I know you’re just joking but there will be nothing ordinary about yours. Every single one that’s produced is special.

I still can customize mine because manufacturing has not commenced yet. Any ideas? Do you like the almost yellow gold of the Series 5 or the grayish with some yellow gold accents of the Series 3 open dial I posted? Any input is appreciated.

I would lean more towards the yellow gold of the Series 5 solely because it’s what I picture in my mind when someone mentions a RWS. It’s just such a classic/refined look.

How much freedom are you allowed customization wise? Also sorry if you mentioned it elsewhere but are you getting the 38mm or 40mm?

I have freedom to choose between the 38/40mm case, dial colour, colours of the plates/bridges and the engraving on/behind the dial. I have yet to decide whether to take 38mm or 40mm and will ask Roger Smith what are the lugs to lugs first. I have tried on 2 Series 2 (40mm) before and they fit well because Roger Smith lugs are very short. I have not tried on 38mm before.

Not bad as far as options go. You got some fun decisions to make.

An update:
AD has confirmed my delivery date which will be 2H 2025 (which is circa one year from today, plus minus a few months). Also confirmed the diameter (40mm), case material and the engraving design. Excited

Beautiful watch. Usually not a fan of these types of watches, but I make an exception for Smith.
