I'm full of surprises. Maybe this will be my last trip to Baselworld because of the outcome. I guess Geneva will be the future.

Yeah, things are changing, that's for sure, will be interesting to see what Rolex does in the future since they have been so loyal to Basel World.

The funny thing is what Rolex and Patek are doing there when they only meet their AD's and journalists.
They don't give a shit about their customers, that is what they live on. The strange thing is people still
buy the watches way over list because of the bad availability, I believe we all should buy us a yellow vest
and boycotted them.

So in that case they probably will stay at Basel since they don't entertain customers much and they probably make it mandatory for AD's to show up. The press will always go, what else do they have to do.

I wouldn't necessarily call for a boycott, myself, but I do wish that people would stop paying above MSRP from grey dealers and jumping through ridiculous hoops demanded by some ADs.

Hysteria is never a pretty thing.

Where do you book for entering the exhibition? How long before do you have to do that?

You can buy tickets when you are there, no need to pre order. Hotel is it worse, have to be booked well in advance if you want to live nearby.

Awesome! Glad to see you're going again this year! I'm guessing the only way you wouldn't is if they cancelled the event or Rolex pulled out Excited for the report!
