Explorer for Folks Who Don't Like Knock-offs
A lot of "watchies" don't cotton too well to the idea of buying a watch that is a clone of some "greater" watch. Well, for those folks I'll suggest Smiths, which is "the other watch" that went to Everest with Sir Edmund and Tenzing. They (or more accurately, the owner of the brand name -- Smiths proper folded in the 1970s) now have a watch called the Explorer. It has a very Rolex Explorer look (i.e., the one that went with Sir Edmund) and can be had for $350 or so. Not a bad looker and a darn nice price.
As for the story, you read these at your leisure:
