Roger Smith "GREAT Britain" Watch Specially Made For Prime Minister David Cameron
One of our favorite English watchmakers Roger Smith (Roger W.

Called the GREAT Britain, this is the latest in Roger Smith's series of bespoke timepieces produced on a made-to-order basis. The watch was commissioned by Conrad Bird, the Prime Minister's Director of Communications in 2012. Why? It was part of the Prime Minister's 2012 Olympic Games Legacy.

Introducing The Girard-Perregaux 1966 Collection Limited Editions With Enamel Dial
Today, we bring you three Girard-Perregaux 1966 Limited Editions with Enamel Dial. The art of enameling isn’t new to HODINKEE readers.

Here is an article on Grey Market Dealers
I found this to be just an ok read. The author made it seem like its a rarity to see Rolex on the grey market, which we all know to not be true. And the author only touched on watches being sold at a discount. He made no mention of in demand watches like the Daytona C that goes for a premium in the grey market. quillandpad/2018/02/03/na...fores-archive/Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
