Thanks Ken!
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. |

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

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.

Really enjoyed reading this, Roger Smiths watches are stunning .. I could talk to him all day, a watchmakers dream to gain apprenticeship with him ..

Congratulations. After handling a Smith and a Daniels last year, they catapulted to the top of the dream list. Can't wait to see your watch when it arrives.

A confirmation came from the Isle of Man, and the wait begins
Jeez! How fun.
I love the yellow gold open dial on the 5! Very exciting. Thx for sharing w us. There’s always another level.. By the way, totally support this route/ this watch vs a MR PP. anyone can get that. This is more special I think. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

18 a year. That makes you a chosen one! At this level of watch making, price doesn't seem matter as much as how much the patron appreciate the beauty of workmanship. I don't know if I will ever get to that level but sure fun to read threads like this. Congrats!

He makes them on Isle of Man? I recently had a chance to visit the island, it was very interesting. If you’re able to it would maybe be cool to take delivery in person.

No update today but just want my 8,000th posts in TRF to be meaningful with this pic of a Series 2 OD from ACM. They take brilliant photo.
