As mentioned previously, this watch is 137g and it is heavier than my 5270P and it feels substantial on my wrist. Other than the aesthetics of the front and back, I also like the side profile of the case which appears sweetly curved despite the thickness. L2L is 46mm and the size is kind on my tiny wrist. The gilded dial goes very well with the purple hands and hourly markers, and sometimes I just stare at it without referencing the time. Due to the case thickness, there is a "depth" to the movement architecture. On the cons, time can be a little hard to read at times due to the similar colours between the hands and hourly markers. The sapphire crystal could be enhanced with AR coating which can help to reduce the reflectiveness. Overall I do love this watch a lot....
My Roger Smith Series 5 is finally here!
Finally it arrived! It feels so surreal to put this watch on my wrist. This is a day I will always remember. Will post more pictures later. ...
Fantastic!
That must be an awesome feeling, I look forward to more pictures of your wonderful watch. All the best, Jon
So happy for you! A little marvel you own here!!
Roger Smith is so full of skills! The engraving on the back is the cherry on the cake. Enjoy it and please share photos regularly! Best, E.
I'm usually not a fan of engraving
but this one is very well done. Thank you again! 🙏🏻

Thanks Jay and will comment
more after wearing the watch for a period of time. For now I really love the dial and the curvature of the case and bezel. That red leather box smells nice hahaha

You made some great choices in the process. Please share more of the journey with us when you have time.
Interior angles

My third favourite angle
of this watch is the case profile. It's a little chunky but yet so sweetly curved. ...

'Grail' doesn't begin to cover this....
Speechless, this is like obtaining a piece of history. I've been a long time obsessive of Daniels and Smith, and yes they come up for auction occasionally, but to see pictures that convey the experience of actually taking delivery, unboxing etc make it fe...
Thank you! The Daniels
is almost unbiddable in auctions now with the high price. There are not many unboxing of RWS online and I'm happy to contribute mine. The box smells really nice 😅
