Today I saw one of my client wearing a Rolex comex. I could not notice if it was a SD or a Sub.

Can someone educate me on Rolex comex models ?
Is it available in SD or Sub or both ?
Does Rolex still manufacture Comex models ?
If I have to make an offer, how much should it be ?

Thanks,

Rolex no longer produces Comex issued watches anymore, the first Comex issued watch was the 5514 submariner, which is basically just a 5513 submariner with a HEV valve. The last Comex model was the 16610 submariner which was delivered in the 1990's. For more info visit doubleredseadweller.com

BTW: there were both submariners & seadwellers that were issued to Comex.

A small batch of Comex was delivered in 2004 consisting of 14 watches.... mostly subs and a few SD.

I have one of the SD.....

..... and beware of fake Comex. They are all over the place.

That is one special keeper......

You've got some killer watches in the collection!!

PS:If there were only 14 delivered,the engraved number refers to???(total Comex issued?)

I don't blame you...Something of that prestige in the watch collection world would be a hard wear as much as I hate to admit it!!!!

Makes sense on the numbers....Only thing I can think of anyway!!!
Something to research I think...

WOW Pav! That is a beauty.

Pav,
Thanks for sharing, lovely watch. It's a wonder what a little white decal and $15 worth of engraving can have on the value of a watch!

I think you overpriced the cost of the engraving and decal.

EE33 · 1 September 2010, 02:52 PM

Wow! That's a real Stunner Pav!

They're as rare as hen's teeth and cost a bomb.

sub2004 · 1 September 2010, 02:55 PM

Awesome Pav! Wow i didnt realise they issues a few in 2004 and you are very blessed to have one. Silly question, but does it come with the anchor? Cheers from Fiji Islands.
