hi matthias,

you could be right with habeler, but it also could be the hands.....

yesterday i saw a old tv-report (sportspiegel) about the messner/habeler-expedition 1977 to the dhaulagiri. messner worn the 1655.....and to my suprise it looked like to me habeler worn a daytona.

......here is a pic from the expedition-doc with his datejust.
