Carmel GTG was a success!

[sheldonsmith]

Rolex aficionados and collectors traveling from three continents converged in Carmel California for the inaugural Carmel Rolex Get Together (GTG) on August 7th and to be part of the first public showing of the original Deep Sea Special and other rare Rolex watches that have never been on public display. 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, Carmel California.

Below are some of the images, but there are more posted at http://www.minus4plus6.com/GTG-Carmel.htm

Very well done in all it's details and isn't it amazing to arrange a meeting of this cailber only by email / internet

Thanks you very much for all the afford you've done to give me unforgetable moments with the DeepSea Special, great collection of other rare stunners and of course the many collectors I met.
