COMEX
While "COMically EXpensive" is an accurate description (good one,
MGM), it actually stands for COMpagnie Maritime d'EXpertise. It's
a French firm that specialises in deep sea diving for the oil industry, although
now it has expanded into other fields like nuclear power. The Sea-Dweller was
developed for COMEX divers, and the COMEX Sea-Dweller was the last co-branded
Rolex watch made. Now all Rolex watches only sport the Rolex name.

Since we never talk about Rolex...
I thought we could do with some pictures of uncommon Rolex watches... Daytona "Paul Newman" Explorer 2 "Freccione" Milgauss (third series) Sea-Dweller "Double Red" Finally, the most valuable and possibly the rarest of the lot, the Sea-Dweller COMEX, 1997 ...
Re. rolex
Nice watches, I was looking at the 2007 submariners at a jeweller's in Chester (UK) and I was very disappointed. I thought the workmanship was not up to scratch especially when you compare your photographs and older watches.
Actually Rolex scores well in several aspects
Most notably the dial work and case finish. The quality and consistent of the finish on the dial and case is excellent, and not matched by the other large volume makers IMHO. - SJX
nice watches but the first isn't a Paul Newman
It should either be a ":regular" Ref. 6263 or 6265. The Newman models have different markers on the subdials. They are like little squares and you can see one at www.antiquorum.com Regards, Michael Friedberg
here lies the noblest Rolex of them all >>
I've always loved this Explorer I -- all substance, low bling:...
Yes, a very fine and attractive watch ...
... if it only were larger and had a date ... Regards, Marcus
yes, and >>
if only the Roman Colosseum were larger and had a scoreboard, and if only Monticello were larger and had an attached garage!
