A "COMEX" GMT with a PEPSI bezel ?

I can't wait till the rest of the regulars on Watchout see this.

MikeyTX · 22 March 2010, 07:42 AM

Ok Kyle, here we go. The watch has no pressure relief valve. The comex did not have a Pepsi bezel. The comex had a oyster bracelet, not jubilee. That is a fraken watch of the first order.

That was the last minute addition at basel 2010 - It wasn't it the press packet!

I do not believe this watch is correct.... But I have heard of Comex GMT. 7 or 8 made but the dial is not supposed to be marked 'Comex'.... only the caseback.

Look here --> http://www.hodinkee.com/blog/2009/3/...the-first.html

There are comex GMTS, but not like this one...

whcrowder · 22 March 2010, 07:43 AM

Nice job, Kyle!

MikeyTX · 22 March 2010, 07:45 AM

What you are looking at is a redialed GMT Pepsi with a bogus band to boot plain and simple. The clasp does not have the build numbers either so it is a pos aftermarket job. Seller need to be fed to the wolves except that PETA would sue us.

That's what I was trying to say. Thank you Pav. I just can't type fast enough.

Yep.

I dont know much about the COMEX but two things bother me about the watch on ebay.

1. The shape of the four - def doesnt look right to me.
2. Having read Orchi's article on fake bezel inserts, the gap between the 1 and 8 in 18 is the same as the 10, 12, 14 and 16 and should be bigger although I dont see a larger gap in Kyles picture either so perhaps Im wrong?
