Great pics Jocke, I felt like I was there

Few comments...it's hard to believe that a company like rolex who "strives for perfection" could put watches covered in dust out for display

I agree with you on the DDII...the wide bezel looks

topcat30093 · 10 April 2008, 10:12 PM

Thanks Jocke
For your great report,opinions & the photos.

doc_colton · 10 April 2008, 10:15 PM

Nice Jocke.....we should arrange to get more people to attend next year. We'll all meet at your place and rent a bus with a designated driver

GerardoG · 9 April 2008, 12:19 AM

Thank You!!!!

MAC4130 · 9 April 2008, 12:19 AM

Thanks for the tour Jocke!!!!

I really enjoyed and I hope one day I can go myself!!!

Loved the Glashutes! I think this year we saw more brains applied to watches from brands other than our long lived Rolexes! pitty!

Ronnie Rolex · 9 April 2008, 12:20 AM

Thanks Jocke! I have not admit that I'm not a big fan of the new sport models.

Iuio · 9 April 2008, 12:23 AM

dkpw · 9 April 2008, 12:37 AM

Thanks for the photos and the commentary. It was worth the wait...

Like Steve I could not believe how dusty those watches were!

Seeing the new SDD as you have photographed it, I agree it's too big and loud. In fact most of the Rolexes there are too loud, including the "Fisher price" ceramic Sub.

Thanks once again!

ratmotortom · 9 April 2008, 12:43 AM

Many thanks for bringing the show to us here at TRF. I know your tour is the only way I'd ever get to go. Well done !! Thanks again.

Flatsix · 9 April 2008, 12:47 AM

Great photo's, i enjoyed them. Thank-you.

jasonbellevue · 9 April 2008, 12:47 AM

A most excellent report Jocke, thank you very much!

Felly Jr. · 9 April 2008, 01:13 AM

Thanks for the rather exquisite pictorial of Basel 2008 Jocke.

One thing that struck me almost more than the watches was how clean the streets looked in the village pic's you took right before you left for home.

DSJ · 9 April 2008, 12:49 AM

Great pics. Did you get any from the other haute brands (PP, AP, VC, etc.)?

Courmayeur1 · 9 April 2008, 01:44 AM

Thank you Jocke, I feel like I was there. One day I will make it over, until then, I will rely on you for the virtual experience, thanks again.

Omnibus · 9 April 2008, 01:57 AM

Ahh finally...

Many thanks to you for the report, Jocke! Well done!

chunala · 9 April 2008, 02:42 AM

Jocke:
Thanks for sharing your trip with us all. Looks like it was fun even though "our brand" disappointed.

Being in NYC, I'll have to go down to Canal Street to check out the Basel stuff there.
