Thread: Inside Basel Geneva event NYC

I've always heard great things about it and I finally bought a ticket this year... hope its good.

What did you guys get in the bag of goodies this year?

It was pretty boring.. Some ok watches, Lange, AP, Glashutte (who were all at Timecrafters with better displays) and a few other nice pieces. IMO Time Crafters was way better in NY and the week before, Maybe thats why i am unimpressed. It was held at the Plaza and the room was wasn't the greatest atmosphere a bit stuffy (lol). I ended up leaving and not staying for the dinner, the hors d'oeuvres were disgusting and stale so I was turned off.

I was with about 5 guys and we all felt about the same. Oh well, I probably wont be wasting 150 next year!

Yes I thought it was also too crowded. We found out that approximately 300 guests were expected. The exhibit area was too small for the amount of people. Also having been to Timecrafters the week before it was kind of a repeat. The diner portion was good, and the goodie bag was a bit disappointing.

Mind sharing what was in it?

All catalogs. Hats from Panerai and AP. Panerai hat is decent, AP hat "cheap feel". Bucherer had a nice Jewelry Storage tray. Oh and BMW had a nice key fob memory stick.

No Panerai keychain this year?

I'm still excited to attend to my first one here in LA... wonder if the goodies will be exactly the same?
