More pics of the comex???

Right now the Daytona C is getting the most wrist time. But for many years now the Exp II has prob gotten the most. It's the SAS model...which i know is somewhat controversial but as a military history and watch but its just one of my all time favorites. The PP's are amazingly comfortable and prob don't get as much time as they should. The COMEX also gets some real wrist time. I actually have 2 SD's. One is a no holes model where i bought a COMEX dial to wear as a beater (have original dial as well) and I also have a full COMEX model that I bought from a prominent watch aficionado/expert. Truth is I LOVE them all!

In 2013, Rolex made a special edition of the Exp II for the British 22 Special Air Service Regiment. The SAS is essentially the father of all modern special forces units the world over. Previously Omega and Breitling had made special editions for the SAS. The Rolex version has the regimental crest on the back of the watch and the regimental motto "Who Dares Wins" on the side of the case. On the case back was also the first two letters of the trooper's last name as well as his ZAP number. The warranty is from Rolex London as opposed to an AD and has the troopers name on it as well. The model has been somewhat controversial in the collectors community and has been equated with the much maligned "SeaKing" GMT. There have been other Rolex Special editions, notably for the UK SRR, another special forces unit. As a military history buff and a watch nut I really love the watches and have one in Black and Polar. In the last few years wanted some "historic" watches in my collection so I added the COMEX first, the two SAS Exp II's and lastly the 6240 which is the first Oyster Daytona. Just a path that I took.
