Status: Back in the US for a few hours
I will be getting on another plane bound for Taiwan in a few hours. I am looking forward to some good food and warm weather. I should be able to check e-mail and address any urgent issues early next week.
Basel was bigger and better than last year. There were new brands and a lot of new products in stark contrast to 2006. Rolex put out two new watches this year to some mixed reactions. The re-issue of the Milgauss was very cool and drew a lot of gawkers but the Yachtmaster II seemed to be decidely less popular. The Omegamania auction took center stage over the weekend and was quite an event. I would have grabbed a catalogue for the auction but it was the size of a phonebook! The watches overall seemed to be markedly bigger than last year…which hardly seems possible. Also I think one can expect a lot more watches derived from the Hublot Big Bang styling and the Bell & Ross BR-1.
Thanks to Jocke and Tony for their help and showing me how the other half lives. I am extremely jealous. As always Mike (Urtid.com) and Ernie Romers (www.watchseek.com) it was good to see you again!
