Thank you Jocke. That was great!

I agree, Glashutte is awesome, my favourite is panoreserve! I would love to own one some day.

Glashutte, JLC, this year are going to put a dent in Rolex.

191km/h eh.... With redline @ 4500 rpm, you must have been running out of headroom. God bless TDI's

Compared to Glashütte, Rolex had a weak showing this year I'd say.

Wonderful pics and report! You really a great "personality" behind your presentation, and the report and your comments made me smile. Thank you for sharing these since it's a virtual tour to many of us .... you open a new world for us to experience that we would know very little about otherwise!

Great report and a lot of hard work. Glad to see you don't approve of the new WG Sub. What was Rolex thinking? They can still save the Sub by changing the SS next year the correct way.

Very cool Jocke
That tiny bottle of Jamesons Whisky will not last long.
I think you are right about the designs this year.
My favorite photo was the Milgauss GV

Hi Jocke

I realize that I am a tad late with my reply,
however, thank you, thank you, thank you, for an awesome presentation, once again.

And you are correct, that blue Sub was absolutely vulgar, IMHO.
