Thank goodness it's over

Rolex downsize. Some revel in the DD2 being discontinued and believe overnight that it was a horrible gangster watch that they liked 2 days ago but now declare to have hated it since it arrived. Like school yard games some clamber to afford child like nicknames to the YM, posts after post about what superhero name should be afforded to them. Lots are shocked that Rolex (just like normal) haven't released anything new - have I missed something from 8/10 Baselworlds?
Patek upsize. One of the finest watch makers in the world is now what some would have you believe a U boat copy. Those that don't know hold it up as an example of why Rolex and only Rolex exists... The rolex that they pamper and baby like a child apparently forgetting that it's just a wristwatch

Thank goodness Basel is over, hopefully the forum will soon return to some sort of normality - albeit with the usual nonsense "is it safe", is the Deepblue being discontinued, my watch and my shoes/car/degree etc etc if it is at all sensible or normal

My collection is complete, I must be mad staying on here

I get you, Basel is a bit of a free for all where we all voice our unfettered opinions and we turn into a bit of a Kardashian twitter page, but politeness and civility will resume in due course.

He has a fair point about the clamour to appoint a stupid nickname to the new RG YM.

I kind of feel bad for you.

Life is short. Enjoy it.

This thread is kind of like going on a football forum and chastising people for getting excited about the Super Bowl.

It's a forum of watch nerds.

Off. To say the least.
