Editorial: Cara's Favorite Watches From Baselworld 2016
This year was my very first Baselworld, and it was incredible. Despite being jet-lagged and hungry most of the time, the rush of running around and seeing all the new releases was really invigorating. We met with numerous brands from Rolex to Ressence and everything in between, all with very different offerings. Here are my top five favorite watches from Baselworld 2016. 1. Rolex Cosmograph Daytona In Black 1 OF 6 As much of a predictable cliché as this choice may seem, this watch was truly awesome to behold in person. Literally everyone at Baselworld (okay, maybe not everyone, but the entire HODINKEE team) was talking about this watch. And even though I like to go against the trend, I just couldn't help myself with this one. Both black and white dial versions were shown, but given the choice, I would definitely go for the all-black version with black Cerachrom bezel. It's just a super cool watch and even though it is 40 mm, it wears well on my wrist

As I want to give them the opportunity to put this right.A few weeks after placing the order I get a call to advise that my strap has arrived and if I swing by to pick it up the watchmaker will fit it for me. So far so good. The next day I swing by the store to collect the strap watch safely in case with me and am told the watchmaker is off sick and someone else can fit for me from their watch shop, at this point the gentleman standing behind the counter who wasn't looking after me piped up and said that he could fit it for me instead. I queried this as I didn't feel comfortable and he said that he would have a look and if he felt he couldn't do it he would leave it alone and we could revert back to the original plan.He took my watch to a back of
