w&w Round-Table #14: What Were your Most and Least Favorite Pieces from Baselworld this Year?
With our Baselworld 2016 coverage coming to an end (there still might be a couple of pieces left to write) we figured we'd sum up the event with one of our Round-Tables. The question is simple: "What were your most and least favorite pieces from Baselworld this year?” Looking back, I'm actually very impressed by this year's offering. At Basel, it felt a little slower and quieter than previous years, but the brands that we like almost all had a few very strong pieces. Of course, they can't all be winners, but keep in mind the answers below are purely our subjective opinions on the watches and not "reviews" of them.

These will hit the market sometime in early 2012.?(via Perpetuelle)

Patek Strap options
Tried on a few PPs recently and can't make up my mind on the straps. The Calatravas have a very thin almost unpadded strap that doesn't feel sturdy ... The 5146 and 5205 straps felt a lot more durable and had a bit of padding. Any advice on after market straps for a Calatrava should I get one or what strap should I be looking for from the AD if I can get one there? Sorry for all the PP posts recently. Still trying to find the right one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How to start looking?
Hi all! First post here. I just started collecting watches last year and I'm planning on getting a vintage DJ as my first Rolex (1601, 16013 etc).Question is, I have no idea how to start looking, or how to discern between good and bad sellers, or what the reasonable prices are, among other things.Would you guys have any advice for a newbie like me?Thanks!Quick edit: if this is better off being posted in the Vintage discussion, let me know and I'll gladly post there!
