From the style of the clasp, it is very hard to believe that is a 2008 watch.

Pre 2003 or earlier.

Etschell · 15 January 2019, 11:26 AM

Dial is all mucked up with that ugly comex font

yessir69 · 15 January 2019, 11:29 AM

Really cool. Thanks for posting.

FloridaRolexGuy23 · 15 January 2019, 01:26 PM

In 2009 my friend showed me these. Same watch? I don’t know much about comex but I hope for his sake they are. $$$$$$$

Saw these beauties the last time I was in Tokyo a year ago

16600’s were never made with the current machined clasp. They were all stamped.

I'm confussed. Not hard to do sometimes.

There seems to be some discussion whether its legit or not and that would lead me to think WF have a serious issue with credibility if they have gone all the way through their process to the point of actually advertising this watch.

Price aside, as I find they are sometimes way off the mark, surely they have enough of a history to be regarded as a safe bet to buy genuine watches from, or am I missing something?

Absolutely correct - someone is using their retirement gift to fund a BETTER retirement!

I bought my SD from Goldsmiths in Nottingham in 2008 for GBP 4,500...so a bit of inflation for an unused Comex.

Well, at a slight tangent but definitely relevant . . .

Very interesting paragraph in that link from Milton

Over the course of the next year, Det Con Parley obtained records of the watches sold by Malick to Watchfinder and BQ Watches, the two largest retailers of watches in the UK. Since 2014, Malick had sold these two companies 535 watches totalling £1.2 million

With only 170k down.

Great to get out of the safe at a party to impress your friends. You'll be gutted when they all say, "what's Comex mean?"

Chasseur · 6 September 2019, 03:02 AM

Of course it's a real one like this one

last batch in 2004 of non hole Comex Serial F code 115
some said production of 15 SD
I would guess around 30

Unreal. Fair price? What’s the market for that?

roh123 · 19 September 2019, 08:36 PM

Each to their own but to me the interesting thing with a Comex is the history and provenence. To buy a safe queened example with no diving history is just like buying any other NOS sub of the same reference. In this case a pretty uninteresting sapphire sports Rolex.

I get it if you are an avid Comex collector and this is what’s missing. But if you’re just buying into Comex there’s so many other watches I would buy before this one.

That’s just me though.

Johny · 19 September 2019, 09:58 PM

Is this watch in the correct section of the forum?

Paulie 50 · 20 September 2019, 03:14 AM

No real kudos in this watch, seller looking for a mug punter; watch has no history, no appeal and certainly no soul.
