Currency you don't know?

The CHF Franc? You sure you don't know that?

ecsub44 · 28 December 2011, 08:42 AM

The CHF is currently quite close to the USD. An 8 day pass is about $160.

liuk3 · 28 December 2011, 08:59 AM

If you're not familiar with the currency, you might not realize that Basel is in Switzerland.

Not everyone knows everything.

Jocke goes and does a great pictorial of the trip every year.

IMHO, A trip to Switzerland is worth it; a side-trip to Basel also worth it.

Price of admission to see the most unbelievable display of watches?
...depends on your interests.

Those in the trade keep current with developments first-hand. Sightseeing alone is a 50-50 proposition.

GradyPhilpott · 28 December 2011, 12:26 PM

The admission is more than reasonable.

It's the trip to Europe and the hassles with the TSA that prevent me from even thinking about it.

I guess if I fall headlong into a ton of money, I might consider it. I really would love to experience that.

You will not find a room anywhere close to
Basel the whole length of the watch fair.
if you go, you'll most likey stay a town or two
away from Basel.

Reserve a room now for Baselfair 2013.
