redwatch Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I wouldn't mind checking out a Baselworld one day. Is it an easy thing to get tickets for? Sounds like that could be a blast of a good time!! I keep wanting to try and make the EU GTG's as well. They always look like a fantastic time!

FxrAndy Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 you can get tickets for Basel world on the door, but it was a bit of a dissapointment as all the big watch houses with huge stands are by infitation only, it is just like walking in a big shopping mall but all you can do is look in the windows, take a step in side and the security stops you and asks to see your invite, no invite no entrance, lookin the windows like a pauper should!

modelizer Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I belive Sweden is earmarked for this year, Just waiting for some one to Anounce where and when but he has just had a new family addition so i think he is busy! Sweden is indeed earmarked for this years EU GTG. Like Andy says my new family member has kept me quite busy lately.. But rest assured - a date and place will be announced in a separate thread very soon! I keep wanting to try and make the EU GTG's as well. They always look like a fantastic time! The GTG's around here is a blast! It's an "all in" situation every time! I know vlydog is interested in attending as well - will try to give you guys on the other side of the pond as much heads up as possible!

Can't someone make some accurate reps of the invitations? Inb4 "Rolex invitation V5.0 Ultimate Swiss 1:1 Original completely dissected takes genuine parts!"

I always get my tickets via Hublot. They can be had at the door as well, but they are not cheap. I thought around 50 Euros for 1 day. It is true what Andy says, most of the big watch houses are by invitation, or you have to know some inside people. I missed a lot of stuff the first year I went, but the second year I got some appointments, which makes it possible to view and touch new releases. But this is only with the biggest watch houses. Smaller ones like MB&F are extremely nice to visit, you can even chat with the CEO's of smaller houses. Also bear in mind that every hotel in Basel is fully booked months before! And those hotels ain't cheap either. I do like the idea though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeKa Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I might come with my motorhome as it's really a lot to see and you can't get only the most interesting things within one day... Last years I was accredited press what made it easy to take nice pictures Dee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
