Re you rare Explorer I
Have you looked at the 1953 Everest links with Rolex. Sir Edmond Hillary wore a Smiths Everest and Sherpa Tensing Norgay wore an Explorer I. Might that watch be the same as yours? Worth checking.
Other Everest links are Reinhold Messner and Peter Habler, they both assented Everest without oxygen. As far as I know Messner wore an early Explorer I and Habler wore an Oyster Quartz.
