Carmel Rolex GTG was a Smashing Success!
Rolex aficionados and collectors traveling from three continents converged in Carmel on August 7th for the inaugural Carmel Rolex Get Together (GTG) and to be part of the first public showing of the original Deep Sea Special and other rare Rolex watches. In anticipation of the 50th anniversary of the bathyscaphe Trieste piloted by Don Walsh (USN) and Jacques Picard to the bottom of the Marianas Trench reaching a depth of 35,814 feet, Rolex allowed for the Deep Sea Special to go on display at Fourtané Jewelry in Carmel California.
Below are some of the images, but there are more posted at http://www.minus4plus6.com/GTG-Carmel.htm Hans Wildorf's first Rolex -Sheldon

If / when something germinates, I will be sure to let everyone know... If something were to happen, most likely will be associated with Car Week in Carmel (late mid-late August).
