Jocke, these are fantastic photos, mate! I look forward to when I can get some time to travel to the Basel fair. I will make it one year. Great pics of the Glashuette watches. I especially love the Meissen...

Really great report and photo journal!

Thanks for sharing.

And good to see some great watches on display at Basel after the disappointing Rolex showing.

Not much of them this year, it is a bad watch year in many ways.

wow Jocke, thanks for sharing!

so that's how rolex plans on increasing market share: make a bigger dj and then tell every guy that the one they've been wearing for years has suddenly become a woman's watch. what a joke:)

would have loved to see that guy smash the go on the table - a new mechanical g-shock - very cool.
