I had no idea, I mean none, that these watches fetch these prices.

Can this even be real?

Mark020 · 6 January 2023, 06:39 AM

One can ask….

MrGoat · 6 January 2023, 06:48 AM

That’s the most expensive one I’ve see.

Jacek (Tropical Watch) had one a week or so ago for somewhere around 150k.

I want one, however I am not in the position to pay those prices yet. Hopefully someday I will.

I wouldn't buy one from a seller who thinks that watch pictured is a 1665.

Here are my two 1665s, just for the sake of it :-)

So, 1.5M on that picture

Great watches, as always

frankenwatch at $700k plus? If so, that listing should be taken down.. how can C24 allow a blatant misrepresentation stand? (screenshot looks like C24?)

Correct, C24. It appeared in my stream of watches I might be interested in based upon my previous searches. I saw the price and almost fell off my chair and thought I should ask you professionals of the vintage world.

sorry to ask, where does the bezel insert of the one on the left comes from ?

Haywood_Milton · 6 January 2023, 10:01 AM

It was on the watch when I bought it from a former Comex employee.

I'm so lucky to have a similar one on my late 1680

Perku-t · 6 January 2023, 10:47 AM

units and decimals are so close from one to another number on the left and my astigmatisme is doing bad it is better for me to read the bezel on the right.
thanks

indianmachine · 6 January 2023, 01:34 PM

very nice fat fonts, gents

Fredrik · 6 January 2023, 05:16 PM

The Hudson letter and the dial says Submariner so at least those matches.
The price is, uh, interesting...

CTech · 6 January 2023, 07:41 PM

It's very confusing as the text of the listing says this is a 1978 Comex 1680 Submariner, so is the 1665 in the title a typo, a genuine mistake or a deliberate attempt to mislead?

https://www.chrono24.com/rolex/1665-...id23584036.htm

Whatever and however it happened it is massively overpriced, so maybe that is a typo as well and it should be HK$580,000 = about US$76,000.

one80 · 7 January 2023, 06:07 AM

I’ve seen a Comex 1665 recently for approx USD$240k.
Still a huge amount!

You’d think that the seller would be all over the listing details of a watch like that…

Maybe the typo is in the price … they need to drop the last digit

indianmachine · 7 January 2023, 02:56 PM

The price does seem high, but I would note that one did sell back in 2020 for >500k.

1680 Comex is very rare with supposedly less than 60 examples made and many dials replaced once out of Comex use.
