Off Topic: Interesting Report About a Rolex on Everest

Here is an interesting report about a Rolex that made it to within 70 meters of the top of Mount Everest, three days before Hillary and Tenzing made it to the top. This watch has now been acquired by a leading Rolex collector.

The Heuers may have been all over the pits and paddocks in the 1960s and 1970s, but we can see that the Rolex watches were the choice for Mt. Everest in the 1950s. What a great looking watch!!
