Do you have (or have not) a 16660 Cnexo tucked away in a sock somewhere that you could post a few pics of?

. . . cheers, fario

Looks like I should have broadened my original post . . . As Marcello uses the Cnexo logo as his avatar, I thought he would be the obvious person to ask about the Cnexo 16660.

Is there anyone out there in Rolexland that has any pics or info on this Rolex?

thanks, fario

( only 15 watches delivered in the years to this Company )
CNEXO ( = Centre National pour l'Exploitation des Oceans ) was a French public company that merged in 1984 with ISTPM into the present IFREMER :

" L’IFREMER (Institut Français de Recherche pour l’Exploitation de la Mer) actuel, grand organisme national de recherche et applications dans le domaine marin, est la résultante de la fusion de deux organismes nationaux préexistants : le CNEXO (Centre National pour l’Exploitation des Océans) et l’ISTPM (Institut Scientifique et Technique des Pêches Maritimes). L’histoire de ces deux organismes est présentée brièvement sous leurs différents aspects : politique, juridique, administratif. L’apport scientifique et technique est évoqué sous forme de bilan en l’année 1984, date de la fusion. "

CNEXO made many " special " and experimental operations with COMEX ....

further details/pics coming soon ...

CNEXO during his life obviously did also a lot of " works " with Marine Nationale ( French Navy ).
many COMEX experimental operations were made with CNEXO and also other French public companies such as INPP ( Institut Nationale de la Plongeè Profonde = national institut for deep diving ).

Learn something new here everyday.

Are these as valuable as Comex marked watches? From a brief Google search it appears the dials are not marked but the cases are, is that correct?

Nice call out Fario!! This is very interesting. WE NEED MORE!!!!

fario · 25 March 2015, 07:49 AM

Marcello, amazing info and pics - many thanks for coming onboard!!

Can't wait to see pics of the watch . . . Was CNEXO involved with other models, or just the 16660?

What is the history of your Avatar . . . most certainly the coolest on the forum - Is it a photo of a "patch" that navy divers wore on their jump suits?

I'm assuming (which is never smart) that your Avatar is engraved on the back of each of their 16660s?. . . Please don't disappoint me on that one - lol
