On my daily browse of Watchfinder (sad I know) I came across this stunning example of a unworn Rolex Seadweller Comex edition for sale! Imagine it won’t be around for long.

At a bargain when you say it like that!

brandrea · 8 January 2019, 09:51 PM

This makes me wonder how many of these type examples could be out there.

Styles Bitchley · 8 January 2019, 09:53 PM

Wow. Sticker and everything. That’s pretty awesome to see.

I’m sure it was only a couple of years ago you could have picked one up between 50k-100k. Although like you say I’ve never seen one complete with box, papers and stickers unworn.

There's a 16610 Comex on Chrono24 but the price is not disclosed. I did not even know they existed.

padi56 · 9 January 2019, 12:01 AM

Not worth the money unless used and issued to a Comex diver.

I’m sure I’m correct in saying that some Comex watches were issued to office staff, assuming this must be one of them.

I imagine Watchfinder just put the asking price out there to see if anyone would be willing to pay it, as they do with most of their steel Rolex these days. I’d like to think they’d take 150k.

What was retail on a SD back then?

Speed · 9 January 2019, 01:26 AM

Comes with a modern plastic warranty card and box? What am I missing?

Bxtek · 9 January 2019, 02:19 AM

Wow, would it be a bit of a shame if someone bought this and actually started wearing it?

Yes, this is weird. I'm no expert on these, but they didn't make modern Comex models did they?

KBM · 9 January 2019, 02:19 AM

Expensive bits of plastic.

Nice piece of history but that’s a lot of money

I thought these comex models ceased production before Rolex went to plastic warranty cards. I may be wrong.

Anyone know?

rodo · 9 January 2019, 03:54 AM

Im confused about the box/warranty as well

rodo · 9 January 2019, 03:55 AM

Then again it does have the hollogram on the side of the case on the plastic. Which coincides with platic card/new box vintage no?

I am considering buying it and having a Comex diver wear it. Then I can sell it for EVEN BIGGER MONEY!

Yeah, you got spare 200k laying around? Lol!

MARTIN1264 · 9 January 2019, 04:16 AM

The price is insane....I'd buy a high end Sports car or invest it.

LuminousMaximus · 9 January 2019, 04:21 AM

I just tried to bid and when I input my credit card number the website laughed back at me...

Rashid.bk · 9 January 2019, 04:51 AM

I'd prefer an Audi R8 V10 Plus Spider, no thanks.

HogwldFLTR · 9 January 2019, 05:05 AM

Seems too expensive for my tastes!!! I hope someone enjoys it!!!

I'm with you on this one. I like watches but I like cars more. When I see those exorbitant prices for watches I always translate them to the potential motoring pleasures...

GreatScott · 9 January 2019, 05:10 AM

Maybe they will do one of their talking hands videos on it. Then it will be a star and definitely worth it.
