Basel 2016 Event and mini Brasilia GTG

Hey gals and guys,

Recently attended an event held by our local AD to showcase the pieces released at the last Basel fair. It was a great opportunity to catch up with some friends and chat in a fun, relaxed environment.

Big shout out to my buddies jfestrelabr and avilhena, thanks for the company and the laughs, guys. And congrats again on the new chocolate SkyD, jfestrelabr!

Onto the pics:



I liked the new Air King. It looks original, fresh, a pilot's watch in the Rolex line-up. Having said that, I wish it had the 15, 30 and 45 white minute marks instead of the white gold 3, 6 and 9.



Not a recent release, but a monster watch. Always fun to try on. If the bezel and counters were navy blue, I might have done something stup... er, consolidated. Regardless, what an amazing piece.



The platona, along with my 619.




My buddy's new chocolate SkyD




The wrist shot with the store's platona and Daytona C and our watches.

It was truly awesome. And I hear you, as I also think I'm not ready for a full yellow/rose gold piece. But I'm getting there...

Sorry for the late reply. The Daytona they had in the store was being showcased to everyone who attended the event, and I believe they sold it that very evening.

Big ups to you and your 619 hangs with the best of them. As much as I see them on here, doesn't get old.
