Yes, boys and girls, it's that time of year again!

The time we all wish uncle Jocke a safe and happy journey to the Basel watch show. Last year, he presented us with a running commentary complete with pictures, his getting up in the wee hours of the morning, (it was still dark and snowy outside) his eating breakfast, getting energy for his long drive, even his taking a shower... ( I am STILL trying to get THAT picture out of my mind

). And, of course, his drive through the blinding rain and snow, and his eventual arival at Eden, I mean Basel.

So let's all join in and wish Uncle Jocke, a safe and pleasant journey to the land of Nirvanna, and request he please keep us up to the minute informed of all the new Rolex models and news.

God speed and following seas Uncle Jocke!

STEELINOX · 21 March 2011, 08:25 AM

Best wishes to our good friend.

May he not forget the special camera lens for penetrating security glass displays, may he drive like the wind and not get a ticket, may his fortitude outlast the fortnight of binge snapping of GLASHUTTE and ROLEX offings, and may he return with lots of swag !

God speed Jocke !

Lion · 21 March 2011, 08:26 AM

Jocke have fun and look forward to your daily commentary!!!

Dr. Robert · 21 March 2011, 08:26 AM

Jocke, leave your lead boots at home & try not to get another speeding ticket!
Can't wait to see/read your Basel report.

Of course my friend.

Thank you all for the heads up. I will do my best to deliver, you know that.
