Rolex Basel Announcement Timings

Hi all

I've seen that Basel is kicking off at 11am CET but am I right in thinking that Rolex will announce at 12pm CET?

I need to plan my meetings around this so we'd to be sure!

Cheers

Basically by the time I wake up tomorrow (PST) everything will be announced and this forum will be filled with everything I need to know? Sounds like a plan to me :-)

It is already the 21st in some parts of the world. One would think announcements will be made according to CET time, but you never know... 3/21/2018 is upon some of the world now. For instance, it is 5:38 am in Guam currently. Getting closer.

GMT is commonly used across the world not Central European Time but of course as this is Switzerland it will be CET.

Looking at my sent emails to my AD in 2016 and 2017 I reckon that’s about right!
