I don't know if Sir Hillary always had a Rolex when he was climbing, but these are the only watches I know he had...
The prices were very high for this model till the last year, then went substantially down, which was my chance to get one.
My problem is that I love all the Explorers, and that I'm considering adding others, like a very nice 1016 with a tropical dial, for example, and also a 16 550, with a creamy dial...
A story without end, I fear...
Best,
