Mehr Rolex - Don Walsh - Piccard und Hillary........

[philipp]

I joined a lecture of Don Walsh in Nyon at the Museum du Leman where they've a
wonderfull permanent exhibition of the Piccard family, a must see if you're around.

Surprisingly the museum has the DeepSeaSpecial that was given to Jacques Piccard
Rumour the nice conservatrise told me was that, one example was attached on the
Triest, one was inside the sphere on the wrist of Piccard and one example was at
Rolex HQ so after the succesfull dive Rolex could compare the 3 examples in detail.
