Currently resting at the bar while writing a response More enjoyable than battling the crowds ...  

Another rumour...

Apparently the rent they are charging at the Messe is exorbitant and there are rumour that the watch fair may not be happening here next year. The Hayek family were furious and decided to protest, so no watches from the Swatch Group this year

What I heard, too. [nt]

That brings a chuckle.

One of the first words which comes to mind in describing prices of swiss made watches is "exorbitant." So they get a little of their own medicine at Baselworld. As the saying goes, those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. M4

You're in very good company!👌🏻

took pictures of ? How do you compare and contrast the colors of the 5169 khaki green vs blue , and 5762 blue vs 5740 blue ?

The 5168 looks really dull not really understand the hype

I know the khaki strap was fetching thousand of pounds when it was discontinued, may be the military love is still strong. 5726 is really nice I already put an order. Comparing that to my 5740 the dials are very different , the blue is much more vibrant i... 

Thanks for covering this event my friend. 👍

Not that it matters to us where it is as much as it does to the locals

Great time!
