I came accross the web site of a Mr Michael O'leary as I was searching the Comex web pages. A friend of mine used to work for Comex and has some nice watches from his time with them.

I searched the forums and could only find a couple of youtube links. Have a look at his web site, I think you'll be interested in his small collection of Subs and Sea Dwellers.

I was very impressed. sorry if this site has been included in a thread before but I couldn't find it.

I've seen this one and it is an interesting site. More than a "small" collection I'd say. And to die for lots of others would say.

Now there is someone who uses tool watches.

Michel is a friend of mine. We shared old dive stories. if you read some of his history you will find a story of him and a friend taking a welding test for Comex, a quite difficult test, in part after words they were asked if they would like a Comex Rolex. Of course their reply was yes. This took them on a nice lunch overlooking the water. After lunch they were presented with two green cardboard boxes. Take a guess what was in them...That’s right two Comex Rolex dive watches. Most of will never see on in real life and he got one for free.

A friend of mine who worked for Comex was also given a Rolex. I have seen an Old Rolex advert with him as a featured diver, wearing the watch and dressed in all his SAT diving kit. As I remember it, I think they had set a record at the time for the deepest underwater weld.
