Which is the cheapest Comex?
Hi, was wondering which is the lowest priced Comex branded ref watch? I know cheapest still means 10's of thousands so is relative:).

Probably a later 16800, as it's a gloss dialed model, however even they are still a lot of cash..... and again with any piece like this, B&P's and anything else that adds more history to the package then the only way is up.
So to answer your question, I would say a loose 16800 |

Even the gloss dial saphires run a good $40-50k--maybe more as I don't pay attention to them. Once you get into matte 5513,5514,1665 you are into 6 figures. Then you also have the 1680 which is a rare bird--also 6 figures--$125k-150k. They are not cheap and there are not many around!

it seems that prices are growing again : at the last US Christies auction ... a "crude" 16610 ( no paper-no log book -no history behind ) has done 60 k usd, a price well consistent to the highest market levels ever done ( 2008 ).. not to mention the very good figures made in the European auctions in 2011. |

Whew, thanks for the Comex info guys, really impressive ref.
At current prices, looks like I'll have to play the Lotto more often and hope;) while being happy that some of our guys here have these awesome pieces...is surely a great watch to have in any collectors kitty for sure if one can. |

Just saying, but I think cheap Comex is an oxymoron!

A comex with no history, no box and a service/damaged dial would be of course less expensive...

Looks like this one sold for 34K or less, which one is this 16610? Do Comexes come with B&P?
