A visit to the local boutique is always fun.

This time they have the Basel 2016 collection on a mini tour like what Art already shown so I won't elaborate more but share some photos.

The star the show is ....drum roll, my long waited CK2998

Finally here!! It's been a quiet year, mostly waiting for the orders.

This Sedna Gold and Brown dial is quite striking.

The black version is ok.

This YG and Green is a controversial and polarized piece.

This blue one is my favorite of all. I think I might order this one.

This meteorite dial is very special but we spoken for, each is piece unique.

This meteorite dial is very special but was already spoken for, each is piece unique. It's not a limited edition

This is also a special MOP Tresor, but I feel my 'boss' wears it better than me.

It's got a nicely decorated 8511 movement.

Another star is this YG Olympic limited edition, only 188 pieces. I love the vintage look, clean dial and blue hands. I'm quite torn on this YG, always a RG guy but those mushroom pushers looks good.

Last but not least, my star CK2998!

I really like this design and color theme. It's a winner in my books.

Thanks for this mini-Basel report!

Some combinations are definitely unusual (the green / YG one) and some pieces are absolutely striking (Olympic YG version - even though I am a white metals guy). So, did one of them leave with you?

Only the CK998 for now, but I really like that Blue Moonphase SpeedMaster...

I just doesn't want to take it off...most of these are demo pieces but all ready to order. Priority will be given to those with full deposit. The Tresor collection is too pricey, if only they make that MOP dial in SS and my boss will take it. For that level of price, I will prefer that new Saxonia Thin 37mm. Rgds Raymond Radioactive at its best!

Wonderful lume shot!

I\'m with you on the Tresor - in SS I\'d probably get it immediately, as it is it competes with some watches I simply like better Congratulations on your new addition, btw. - well chosen!

Hope you get well soon, Nilo...I've always want to get a 9300....

But now with this 9904, it should be even better, I hope. I'm very happy on this CK, happy for you and everyone here as well. So far I'm the 4th here, not counting the one in Collector's Market. Rgds Raymond
