    Hi Dirk,

    Von dieser end Version die als Display Model in die Welt geschickt würden
    um bei Rolex Importeure als Reclams zweck, denke ich so um die 45 Stuck.
    Davon sind aber sicher 10 Exemplare aus der ersten Periode der Trieste:
    1953 - 1960 wo das Glass weniger Curved hatte, ne andere Krone, ruckdeckel
    und Werk ( cal 1000)
    Thank you Philipp for explaining, but I have to bother you again....
    So 35 are only mock ups for display? They wouldn't be able to dive (ahh, they would dive, but they are not water-resistant?) So only 10 real ones would have made the way down to the Mariana Trench?

    No Dirk, the later display models of the DeepSea Special where actual
    copies of the last example Rolex made for the Trieste dive, that means
    they were fully waterproof and possible would withstand same pressure,
    only big difference with the earlier DeepSea Specials is, that they where
    still in development, once Rolex started in '53 they didn't design the case
    for 11.000 meter deep from '60 dive as their first dive was to 3150 meter,
    some examples had already problems with decompressing and movement
    imploded thus Rolex needed to change the design, when they were looking
    up close at build of the new submariner at Krupps steel, they adopted the
    bol shaped window for their glass and special case back with deeper grooves
    to turn it close very tidily...Allthough those displays never had any action, it's
    the closes thing to the real deal Rolex gave jacques Piccard to test for them.
    The rumor that it was attached to the outside of the Trieste, is not true. Capt.
    Don Walsh told me when I met him 1/2 year ago in Geneva that nobody of the
    US military ( by then, the owner of the Trieste) was aware of the Rolex on board,
    It was attached to the stairs just under the opening of the entrance, slightly protected
    to the enormous pressure but still, as it was not inside the sphere where the both
    pilots where protected, it withstanded the enormous pressure from deep down...

    Here's the only known picture that shows jacques Piccard holding the DeepSea Special
