Roger Smith "GREAT Britain" Watch Specially Made For Prime Minister David Cameron
One of our favorite English watchmakers Roger Smith (Roger W. Smith) just announced that he has completed a watch commissioned by the British government for Prime Minister David Cameron's Legacy to the 2012 Olympics. 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. Is Roger Smith late in delivering the watch at the end of 2013? No, in fact he is probably a bit early.Roger Smith produces each watch by hand, by himself, in the most traditional of manners. He is THE protege of the famed English watchmaker George Daniels, and he lives and works on the Isle of Man located between the UK and Ireland.

Transparent case back
Hi everyoneI'm considering buying an Omega Seamaster 300 M Chronometer black (212.30.41.20.01.002) and I'm wondering whether it is possible to order one with a transparent case back?The reason I'm asking is because my friend bought a Seamaster 300 M GMT (2535.80.00) with transparent case back and the Omega website don't show the GMT with transparent case back (.omegawatches/index.ph...000&no_cache=1). So I'm wondering if it is possible to order transparent case back as an extra to all of Omega's watches./ Michael

Thickness Complaints - A Brief Thought
It seems to me that every time a Tudor BlackBay is brought up in a post or released a lot of people ask How thick is it? Which is always followed by massive complaints that the in house BB is simply too thick. So what gives?First, we first have to start with the reality. Tudor set themselves up for this one as the original ETA BB was a skinny 12.7 MM (by dive watch standards for those manufactured by Rolex or Tudor). When the in house version came out and due to a bigger movement the thickness shot up to just under 15 MM at 14.8 MM, or by 15%! Now you do get a longer power reserve in trade-off. Some argue there should be no trade off at all. I do no necessarily disagree but I did not design the watch. The complaints and statements of if it wasn't so thick have not stopped since. Valid points.But is the thickness issue really a valid enough point to be the subject of nearly every Tudor BB post on the forum? The SubC is 12.7 MM thick, I don't think this includes the cyclops.The SD4k
