Rolex and Smiths both supplied watches for the '53 Expedition but the only watch that Hillary said he took to the top was the Smiths. Rolex themselves confirmed that.

They imply; we infer.)
Did you read my links?

And you could provide some citations yourself to backup your assertion.

I read what is apparently the source of your information. It is an OP/ED piece that is full of speculation and very little evidence.
