What is best a custom Rolex or a Rolex that is stuck in custom?

Buy a professional camera and you´re a professional

Is that the ride you rented to get around Basel? The horns not loud enough on those things. Take along an air horn to get the slow pokes out of your way.

I heard many major watch manufactures have pulled out of Basel, Rolex is like the last anchor for Basel. I could be wrong though.

Can't wait for the pics ...

Then, calling any AD that will take orders (if I like anything) (as my AD is getting away from waiting lists).

I don't have a favourite brand, there are many of the small brands with interesting watches. It's great to speak with the
guys that have made the watch and burn for his work. Rolex, PP ect have no ineterst to talk about their products with people
like me so they just ignore me.

Did SWATCH go to SIHH?

The Basel trade show became so popular that dealers were not interested in fighting the crowds just to get “sorry” from the manufacturers methinks.

Nope, TSG will have their own fair for their dealers in Zürich at the same time as Baselworld this year. There will be big
changes in the future I guess.
