2015 Comex meeting
our 2015 Comex meeting in the South of France has just ended.
This year was a very sad edition, as we were informed of Marcello's death in the middle of our GTG.
He was the most famous expert in Comex watches and a mentor for many of us.
Nevertheless, the meeting was the opportunity for friends with a common passion to meet up, share stories and make the usual pictures.
Here are a couple of shots, I hope you will enjoy.
A spectacular location in the South of France:
I needed help to prepare a crazy Comex wristshot:
Seven Sea Dweller with "Pisani dials" on my wrist, as an hommage to Marcello:
Mike Wood taking some more shots:
...and lining up the watches for the group pictures:
Comex galore on the table...
A picture of the one we will miss, that I took during the 2010 GTG
