If you aren't familiar with the sort of men and activities that render Comex and military issue Rolexes quite so special, over and above their unique physical differences from normal watches, you may find my post from December 2013 of mild interest:

You may wish to spend a penny before you start reading.

it's hard to say which is the rarest by definition, because there's a lot of small things you have to consider, firstly the caseback.
As for the reference, the 1680 Comex is probably more rare than others.

Cheers
