Don't like it . Why post pictures of the hands covering the important markings on the dial ?
610 replacement should be swiss only , no? and where is "sea dweller" if it is a 1665 w replacement dial ?

The seller does state that it is a 1665 fitted with a COMEX dial .. so really a bit of a frankenwatch .. and an expensive one too .

Yes, it is a Rolex service replacement Comex dial fitted to a normal 1665. There is no "Sea Dweller" on a Comex 1665 and its not the more valuable 600m dial.

But it is a real Comex dial, albeit overpriced in the setup I would think.

Are you sure the service Comex dial with 610 did not have sea dweller on it ?

I learnt not on VRF, but it is a little confusing reading this http://doubleredseadweller.com/comex1665.htm as the dial on ebay has "Date" on it, suggesting that it is an original dial but then the depth rating of 610 does not add up.......

That is what I thought too .. something is wrong with tat dial . I approached Marcello Pisani about it .. let's see what he thinks of it

This is from one of my Comex 1665 watches authenticated and serviced by both Rolex Beverly Hills and Rolex Geneva with a Comex 610m service dial that has both the words "DATE" and "SEA-DWELLER" on the dial.

thanks

This dial and watch has been discussed elsewhere . A close friend of Marcello seems to know the dial in question offered on Ebay . Even it is real , the watch is NOT a Comex and hence the price is over rated for a 610m dial. Only 600m original dial command high prices

It's an overpriced Franken. Nuff said!

There are a few 610 dials .. First without seadweller, second as franks above, then lumi ...

The dial IMHO is original, and has/ is still being offered as a dial only on eBay ... This is obviously just an attempt to sell it 'parked' in an actual watch watch.

If it was a 600m dial it's worth £15-20k ... But no real Market for a 610 dial :-(

Thank you again for having replied again to this matter as you did on the "other forum"
