Basel 2009 - came in with a BANG, crawled out with a WHIMPER!!! SHEESH!!!

Hi guys,

So all that hulla-balloo about Basel 2009 finally came to zilch, bugger all, nothing and a total waste of time.

The long awaited 41 mm DJ was a total disappointment. I wanted it on the Super Jubilee, but all they did was bring out some weird looking dials with flowers on them (what the hell were they thinking??!!) and even the normal dials were asymmetrically designed and looked pretty cockeyed to me.

Then, of course, we had the 2 famous TT Subs. The Blue colour, as expected, was all wrong; but, in all fairness, the BLACK one does look terrific - what the new prices are going to be is anyone's guess!!

As expected, quite a few totally unaffordable Pars Hilton and David Beckham bling models were introduced........but most of them were garrish and ugly.

So what the heck did Rolex give us this year from Basel 2009? Bugger all!!!

Hey guys......just stick with your present collection and don't make the mistake of selling any!!

The ONLY really SUPERB model to come out of Rolex in recent years is the GMT-IIC (and maybe the DSSD) - end of story......and end of this vent too!!
