Rolex SD Comex.

Yesterday an inpector from Graebel came to my house to estimate our goods for moving. He was wearing a Comex SD. I asked him about the watch & he only knew it was a diving Rolex, a gift from a company hw worked in the pass, nothing else. I told him a ((little)) bit of what I know. He was amazed. Does anyone knows any about it??? I got the #3028 in the back.

Here.



The comex w my 16600

...did you ask him if he sells ?

Being unaware of the treasure, may be never though of it.

Now he may have second thoughts.

And its good you let him know, so he takes care.

Looks great and used daily with care.
If he had brought it in for service with rsc, it could have been disastrous!

He ignored any kind of info about the watch. The only thing I know is the watch was way dirty, the bezel won't move a bit, between the link was very dirty and so.

Looks like a Matte dial'd 16660 Comex. These are pretty rare, I would have offered him good money for it instantly! A super rare watch!

"a gift from a company he worked in the pass"... that is one hell of a gift! What a coincidence that he works for a moving company.
