This Comex has a dial marked by swiss made?? 1984??

Hmm, shouldn't it have "Swiss - T < 25" or something?

We await the cavalry,lol

The listing is gone????? So can't comment on that specific one.

Yes, Comex dials should have "Swiss - T < 25" at the bottom.

The "Swiss Made" ones are service replacements and are genuine, however care must be taken with Comex and other rare/valuable watches as the fakers are getting better.

These watches are not for the novice, and many, many hours/weeks and even years of research must be undertaken to know variations.

Comex watches have many variations between models and even within models.

Here's a picture of a good one I found.

What a supurb example John!!!! Man,..Big congrats on landing the GRAIL!!

Thank you Mike.

Took a while to find, one owner, full B&P's, tags, booklets, anchor, wallet, calander, full Rolex service history etc. etc.

If I didn't bite the bullet now, then I may never get one.

Will formally introduce when I get it. I couldn't wait.

I take possession in "T minus 27 days". Now that is going to be painful.

Honestly John, how many collectors can only dream of landing that one special piece that so defines what Rolex was all about. And to do it with such an incredible example with all the bits and proverance!!
Wear it well my friend, it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy! Well Done!

I'd like to say the time will pass quickly.....but it won't.
