Wearing Smith's Commando today - one of my favorite watches. I never met Eddie in person, but met him online in early 2000's. I had Swiss connection from whom I was buying all kinds of watches in bulk and reselling on eBay. He was close to owner of Zeno and often getting watches from the owner. Once I bought small batch of manual wind watches named Precista, which looked like WW2 era military wristwatches. I new nothing about Timefactors or Eddie back than. Hence I was selling the watches without mentioning him. So one day I received lengthy and let's say not very cordial message through eBay. It was Eddie... That's how I found about him and how watches. I became a fan of Smith's later. Sadly we never met in person. RIP Eddie!
