Hello dear Nicolas!! This is a wonderful watch and reading your great post it is easy to understand that it is an exceptional example among the coveted "Comex" SD.

This is one of the dreams of a Rolex collector or diving watch collector, regretably completely out of reach now for most of us.

Photographs are superb as always and the additional comments and information from Bill adds a lot of enjoyment to this post.

Thank you so much for sharing my dear friend.

Abel

I spoke to one collector who has an unbelievable collection of mill spec Rolex. I almost fell to the floor when he quoted me a price for one of them.
