Inside BaselWorld San Francisco Dinner Afterthoughts: Weirdo Watch Afficianado Roundup
I feel the need to talk about this event, even though I attended it in June (of 2007). I read WatchTime magazine and learned about a watch dinner (Inside Basel World) that was to be a recap of the events and news of Basel World 2007. For those of you who don't know, Basel World is the big watch trade show of the year held in Switzerland. The opportunity to attend an event like this in San Francisco was too appealing. $60 with dinner and a "goody bag?" Yea, I could not resist. It was being held about a month before I took the bar exam, at which point I would have done just about anything to get my mind off studying.Wearing a suit to the event, I assumed correctly how I am supposed to dress. To the left is a picture on their website of me staring in some aficionado's watch case. What I wasn't prepared for was being one of the only guys not "double wristing" it. A watch on each arm, that's right. Furthermore, the combined value of most of the watches on people's two wrists was worth more

John Mayer On Watches: Why I Bought The Patek Philippe 5396G Limited Edition For Tiffany & Co.,
It's an interesting time for Patek Philippe from a collector's standpoint. The company has stopped production of some of its greatest complications  (the 3970, 5970, 5070, 5004, etc.), they’ve raised their prices substantially (in what I believe to be an attempt to sideline the secondary market), and a new generation of Stern has taken over as president. I’ve been somewhat skeptical about the direction of the brand based on some of the latest design updates, but after cutting the seal on the new ref. 5396G for Tiffany & Co., I know that the brand still cares about collectors. A lot.In fact, I think this watch is a message to collectors everywhere that Patek Philippe will continue to create instant classics. And this 5396 limited edition is one of them. 2 OF 7 The 5396G is an annual calendar made in a limited edition of 100 pieces to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the opening of the Patek Philippe boutique inside the Fifth Avenue Tiffany &a

No one wants a Breitling?
Hi All, new to the forum as I am in the market for a Rolex. I have been primarily a Breitling guy for years and currently have a SuperOcean 44 and a SuperOcean Chrono. I have been hounding everyone with a Sub or a GMT for sale and no one is interested in a trade plus cash. I know this is primarily a Rolex site, but there seems to be a lot of other luxury watch brands they are willing to trade for. Why not Breitling?

Do you really set the date on your Rolex?
Hello all. I now have two Omegas and one Rolex that have date windows. I obsessively set the time every morning on whatever I will wear for the day down to the exact second and I check it the next day too. That said, I never set the date, ever.Anyone else like this...obsessive about the time but could care less about the date function?
