A nice pic of a vintage Comex

WOW! But at that price? Think of the number of TT Rollies one could pick up, including the gorgeous new GMT-II!!

Very nice and looks good, not many off them older 5513 around now, and will increase in price but too rich for me.

Nice but not £28k nicer than a good, vintage 'plain' 5513 IMHO - too steep a difference just for a gas escape valve, markings on the case back and 'COMEX' on the dial.
I'll just have to be content with my boring ol 'plain Jane':

Cheers - Neil

Yeah - even a plain Jane can scrub up OK I suppose.

My favourite in the vintage sports a proper real Rolex, and must say Neil a very fine example and fine picture.
