Bill Sohne hopped on Clubhouse to talk Rolex today. He was wondering about the Rolex watches that went to Everest, and we riffed a bit on pre-Explorers and early Explorers.

Here's a 1953 Rolex ad focusing on their watches used on Everest expeditions. This one looks a lot like Bill's watch!


And here's Europa Star's coverage of the Rolex launches at the Basel Fair in 1954. Some familiar watches there!
