Values can feel like a rising tide covering all our heads at the moment...but we can still appreciate them!

I generally find that the story and condition of each Comex makes it unique, even where on paper they should be "the same." Consider my two 1665s, which have very close Rolex case numbers and Comex numbers:

The watches are from the very same consignment, but they have very different histories and provenance with their issued owners, and look at their dials! They are the correct, original 600m (not 610m) version that was unique to Comex. One has rested in a safe for recent years while the other was worn regularly. The difference in patination is striking!
