Historical Perspectives: A Look At Baselworld 1946
With Baselworld 2015 about to begin, we thought it would be worthwhile to take a step back in time to Baselworld 1946 (though it wasn't even called Baselworld at that time – but you get the idea). Where did we get all these photos? eBay. Naturally. When we saw this series of photos of booths from the 1946 fair that was distributed to watch and clock retailers around the world listed on eBay, we knew we had to buy them to share with you. Some of the manufacturers you see here will be familiar to you, while others are more obscure and probably only familiar to expert vintage watch hunters.If I could go into a time machine and take the watches from one case, it would be the case shown in the top image of the Patek Philippe booth. It appears there are a few complicated Pateks in it (presumably at least one reference 1518), both pocket watches and wristwatches.I didn't think of Zenith as a clockmaker, but it appears that clocks were the main objects they were showing in Basel

Smaller wrist with a Sky Dweller or Yacht Master II
I have a smaller 6.5 to 6.75 flat wrist and was wondering if anyone else with a smaller wrist could show us their photos of their larger watches?Specifically, Sky Dwellers or Yacht Master IIs.

50th Anniversay Sub back from 2nd Rolex Service
I just picked up my 50th Anniversary Submariner which I have owned for almost 10 years from the Rolex Boutique here in Southern California. This was the 2nd time I had taken it back to them for a service within 3 months. It was not even close on accuracy after the first service. The dealer said they would ship it back to Dallas to have them recalibrate it again. So essentially I was without the watch for nearly 4 months. I asked them if they could expedite it since it took 8 weeks the first time and it wasn't serviced correctly but they said No, it will take another 8 weeks. It was a disappointing experience. The store seemed like they could care less. I have no idea if they even sent it back for a recalibration. I hope so! I am going to check the accuracy but I guess in the future I should take it directly to Rolex in Beverly Hills or ship my watches myself. Has anyone else had a poor experience with Rolex service? Has anyone bypassed the AD stores? I know some prefer independent s
