Well I thought the artistic reference was worth it!

(check this out - Patek Philippe does original fake leather)
Still one week to go if you can get to it. Well worth the visit. And I learnt that serving is done in the UK (Buckinghamshire) - still to exacting standards. And I may have to take some of their working practices back to the office environment to improve our QC!
Cheers all

The third from last with the galaxy dial is lovely.
And extortionate no doubt. Still would though!
Some of these models are from another world
Well done Martin - those came out much better than I expected them to. That skeleton dial is even more hideous in your photo than as I remember it.
Many thanks, Martyn, for some wonderful photos (the watches seem quite good too)! I can't get there alas so it's great to see some of what I am missing!
Re the fake leather: straps for watches that are going to the US can't be made of genuine alligator leather due to import restrictions.
Could they not make the straps there and then marry them up to the imported watches? I've heard this policy before and it does seen a trifle over the top.Originally Posted by fmc000
Wonderful pics - thanks for those.
I am hoping to be there on the 4th if those B******s in the RMT decide not to strike.
If they do BTW I feel that the Network Rail CEO should lose his bonus and pay rise just because I will be grumpy for missing the exhibition.
:-(

I'm sure I'm supposed to know this but...
Why does that last watch appear to be made in "Email"?
I have a feeling I've missed something really obvious!
I'm going today! Will try and get some more photos.
I believe it i the french for "enamel" - émail and they settled in the french side of Switzerland. All the best - and well spotted!

Another picture
Rather nice 8 day

Ahhhh....one lives and one learns!
Thanks for that Martyn, much appreciated.
Just got back. Really good all in all. If anyone else is going, aim to get there early as, by god, it gets busy later on!
Star of the show for me was the copper dialled 5970.
I also really liked the Aquanaut, more so than the Nautilus.
Had to put it off Sunday so: Going today! :-)
