Since Basel would be the same time zone as Denmark, I would not wear my SS GMT IIc but my SS Daytona.

My one and only, I am very tempted to go just for one day, which would be the best day. Plus I would wear my one and only.

I would go bare-wristed, and just walk around telling everyone that "my cell phone has the time".

I would definitely take my 1675 along for the ride, since its just such a classic watch, I'd love to go to Baselworld wearing it.

Only nobody will ever see it since the cuff of my shirt and my coat would be covering the watch the entire time.
