Great pics Jocke, I felt like I was there
Few comments...it's hard to believe that a company like rolex who "strives for perfection" could put watches covered in dust out for display I agree with you on the DDII...the wide bezel looks |

Thanks for the tour Jocke!!!! I really enjoyed and I hope one day I can go myself!!! Loved the Glashutes! I think this year we saw more brains applied to watches from brands other than our long lived Rolexes! pitty!

Thanks for the photos and the commentary. It was worth the wait...
Like Steve I could not believe how dusty those watches were! Seeing the new SDD as you have photographed it, I agree it's too big and loud. In fact most of the Rolexes there are too loud, including the "Fisher price" ceramic Sub. Thanks once again!

Thank you Jocke! Great photo story! I agree with you about the new Rolex designs for this year, yuk! I enjoyed your GO pics, I too like the senator sixties and was considering the original in SS until I saw the new senator sixties chrono which I like very much too.

Thanks for the rather exquisite pictorial of Basel 2008 Jocke.
One thing that struck me almost more than the watches was how clean the streets looked in the village pic's you took right before you left for home. |

Thanks for the pictures and commentary!!! Awesome.
As for the Deep Sea, how did it look in person? What did/didn't you like about it? |
