Hi again from VirtualBasel. Sorry I missed yesterday \u2013 nastyol\u2019 root canal ruined my day! But I\u2019m back now, with no trouble but a sore jaw,so here goes!<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
One thing I did learn while leaning into the pain yesterdayis that VirtualBasel is alive & well. Turns out the problem with coveringBaselWorld via the web and social media isn\u2019t whether a person can find stuffto write about. The problem is weeding through ALL there is out there!<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
At the risk of giving away my web-sifting secret, use#baselworld if you\u2019re on Twitter. Updates flow regularly, and while some arejust offering opinions, there are plenty of links too.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Here\u2019s a sampling of Twi-pinion:<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
#BASELWORLD is way too big but we aredone with the Hall 1 and Hall 5 \ud83d\ude42<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We’ll have to wait till@couture_jeweler to see #beautiful #jewelry. #baselworld is more focused on#watches.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
London bound…top #baselworld and nowneed a rest..show me my bed…<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Without further ado, my #baselworld#top5<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I want so many of the new #Omegawatches being shown at #Baselworld it isn’t even funny.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Now for a sampling of noted watches.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Several places across the web \u2013 private parties, bloggers,and trade magazines \u2013 are heralding the Patek Philippe white dial Nautilus.While I usually prefer a dark or black dial, this is a great, lightcasual\/dress look.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

Another showstopper is the OMEGA Seamaster Aqua Terra GMT.I\u2019m a big fan of most things Omega (my personal daily wear watch is a 3570.50Speedmaster), and ALL things Seamaster! The Aqua Terra GMT doesn\u2019t disappoint.And hey! There\u2019s that black dial!<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
