To be fair Roger Smith is Daniels' protege and probably one of the best watchmakers in the world.

Good to see Roger Smith getting press coverage. Think he's grounded enough to handle it. Interesting that he wears a second hand Rolex from his wife, according to the article. Can't afford his own brand!

I wonder if he sends his watch to Rolex for servicing.

When I saw the title I thought it was another Stowa article.
