Comex Sub £45k. Now that's what I call a long service gift! Beauty.

What a beauty.

Nice COMEX but would you give that price to a seller who only has private listing feedback and maybe one watch deal?

Blimey that's been through more hands in the last year than i've had hot dinners! A dealer friend of mine from cheshire got offered this earlier in the year at £30k and turned it down!

What sort of discount should you expect on a watch like this?

That's a great piece and I'd love to have it however I'll never understand the prices comex watches command. I can certainly see why and how they would be more desirable (read -expensive) than a standard but not 10 times more.

Standard 16800 £3.5/£4k - versus 16800 with a comex logo for £45K ....... ??

Money would really have to be no object before I could get my head round that

I think it was 2003\ 2004 - I had chance to buy one for £14K. Was looking to move house at time & passed. What an investment that would have been although didn't have all the goodies like that one.

Hopefully you would just fly out there to see it and deal in person. Pictures are not detailed enough to see every little possible scratch or ding, all of which matter in valuing a watch like this.
