Romain Jerome Selfridges DNA Watch
Romain Jerome releases another whimsically themed DNA watch in honor of their new retail partner Selfridges & Co. in London. This nine piece limited edition set is designed in a similar manner to RJ's piece for Only Watch 2011, and proclaims their personal level of importance for the famous English department store.Important retailers often want brands to create special limited edition timepieces just for them. So, RJ took that request seriously and literally made a limited edition just for them. You might think the watch is silly if you have no familiarity with Selfridges but I think it is sort of a funny thing and nod to RJ's sense of humor.The watch is 46mm wide and looks like something out of the movie Tron. The dial is just black with yellow stripes that follow onto the strap. On the back of the watch is a close up map of the part of London where Selfridges & Co. is located - with the store's location bolded out in yellow. The case is a combo of steel and ceramic.

Recommended seller section/feedback section?
Is there a "recommended seller" section? If not, i'm sure people would enjoy such a section where feedback on the buying experience people have would be helpful. For example, just gave some feedback on my buying experience in the Rolex section of a Rolex to Jaeger transaction here:watchtalkforums.info/foru...100#post255100However, a dedicated section for feedback that rewards the sellers people have good experiences with might be a helpful section?

Baselworld releases
Hey guys and gals, if you haven't visited the Home Page you should check it out over the next few days. We received a lot of new model information that John amassed during his visit and will be posting it as we get it done. Any brand that has a specific forum will have the original post there, and the ones that don't will be covered here - but you can see them all in one spot on the Home Page! A few are up already (personal bias here - check out the new Longines models. The Column wheel chronos are SWEET ) and the rest will be out over the coming week including Breguet, Zenith, Ball and more.

Something to behold, the Patek Minute Repeater + Tourbillon + Perpetual Calendar
I was fortunate to check out the recent auction pieces for the Upcoming Sothebys auction, so many unbelievable watches. Particularly all the minute repeaters, and to have an opportunity to try out so many different one from different brands was quite educational and exciting. As you may have guessed, the Patek was by far the best of the bunch.To have a chance to to hold, and examine a Patek 5016, Minute repeater, Tourbillon and Perpetual Calendar was unreal.Here a few pics of some that stood out (not all, sorry I don't take more pics), I was really impressed by the Girard Perregaux Minute repeater, gorgeous watch with an amazing sound, loved the dial, and the regulator was very quiet, a pet peeve of mine that really annoyed me how loud the regulator was on the Audemars Piguet and RGM.
