READER COMMENT: Day 3 from Basel as you saw it, with plenty of Seiko, Oris and road accidents?

Day 3 of Baselworld is long gone, and before we get too deep into day four, we need to recap your thoughts, reactions and emotions, because that’s what we do in Reader Comment. Let’s jump into it.

We need to clear this one up again. @phat nutz thinks our voice-over talent is Felix hamming it up, but we in the team know his voice could never be that deep. For those that missed previous explanations, we recently discovered the ‘Voice of Australia / tennis / AFL’, Craig Willis, is a self-described watch nut and a T+T reader. This led to the highlight of Andrew’s life: Craig doing some voice-over work for us. @Sam Moraitis knows the voice, but not the name; it’s the one and only Mr Willis, Sam.

Meanwhile, responses to our Rusty video continue to pile in (there are over 200 comments to date!), including one from one of our favourite adopted Aussies, Terri Irwin, as well as Sotheby’s Australia. Even the man himself, @Russell Crowe, re-tweeted a link, ahead of his ‘Art of Divorce’ Auction on April 7.

On the Tudor front, our Top 4 models video garnered plenty of love, especially for the slimmer case of the Black Bay Fifty-Eight.

Upstairs, we took a look at the new Seiko and Grand Seiko collections, and within minutes of our first few social posts, the tribe was speaking.


We are, however, a little concerned at the rate of motorcycle accidents while wearing a Seiko. We may have connected two accident-prone people through the power of Facebook. We wish you well, Bobby and Peter.

We also took a peek into the new Oris collection and saw some of the amazing things they are doing in Hölstein. There was no debating your reactions, which raged with positivity, and your enthusiasm is shared. This humble author places the Carl Brashear Chronograph Limited Edition firmly in the top five watches of the fair.

There’s plenty more to come from Baselworld 2018 so don’t stop reading, watching and writing! Lastly, a lovely compliment.

No you’re beautiful @357M view.
