Just curious,does anyone here own a Rolex Commando?.would enjoy seeing some pics.Years ago I had a 1970 1016,"Explorer"regretfully I traded it for a GMT.I have seen the prices rise to well over 5000.00 for the 1016s,right now my situation does not allow me to buy most vintage sport models,as I have owned most models over the years.Back in the early 90`s when I was buying Submariner`s GMT`s,Explorer 2`s I was paying around 1100.00 for those models.Back to the Commando,I missed one a few years back,when a watch dealer friend told me they did not exist,trusting him I did not go for it.Now I see very few for sale,there was one on E&%# auction for buy now at 16K!well beyond my means.I still have a fondness for that model and probably will never own one.Thanks Brian.
