Baselworld 2008: TimeZone Rolex GTG
~ Day in Geneva, and …Baselworld 2008 ~
I first met up with the crowd outside the Rolex stand,
We later gathered around James Dowling, the author of “The Best of Time - Rolex Wristwatches - An Unauthorized History” for a Q&A session involving the latest offering by Rolex. This was mostly dominated by questions with regards to the Sea-Dweller Deepsea.
Everyone kindly posed for this shot against the wall, which was rather amusing for some 
At this point a lot of us were rather famished, so we headed out for some lunch…
A rare first prototype worn by James. This is akin to the watch worn by Mercedes Gleitz, who became the first English lady to swim the channel, and thereby advertising the Rolex invention: the Oyster case!
Some more snaps…
I had the opportunity to weigh my DateJust (pictured left) against Derek’s Platinum beauty (right). My DateJust weighs around 125g whilst the his ‘classic’ Platinum Day-Date weighs 220g.
I also got to try it on…
At this point, Harry and David set about snapping the ‘table shot’…
Nico had fun photographing and trying my DateJust…
I also had the pleasure of meeting Jocke,
At this point, Harry decided to pull out some Montblancs and well…I had to join in the fun…the two I had on me were placed at an angle…
It was time for me to catch my train home, so bye bye Baselworld!
