Price of comex 16600 latest

[sub2004]

Hi guys

just came home from work, you guys in the other side of the planet must be sleeping... sucks being in a different time zone (no pun intended)

I am not sure if this is the correct section for this post but i needed some advice.

i know that the last comex seddweller was produced around 1997 as model 16600 i believe (i do stand corrected by owners and others). its looks to be the same as the current line but had the comex wording on the dial.

May i enquire as to the price of one of these dream watches in US dollars or australian dollars? i understand that it will be NOS, used, NIB etc.

I am only asking the price of this model as on a junior attorneys salary i dont think i can justify a comex sub, red sub, red sd, super expensive models etc.

I have never seen a comex seadweller in life, just have pics that our fellow friends have been sharing and i do want a seadweller.

If its out of my game then it will be the new seadweller purchased in auckland or sydney.

cheers and thanks
don

Dear Steve

i went to one site from yahoo search and the person had a brand new unworn comex with all the documentation from rolex etc. he was asking for $US18,000.00. This was dated 2002 so pointless i think.

I didnt want to ask andrea as he is selling one but there seems to be a lot of tension surrounding that sale. i pretty sure he is asking for serious cash i.e. a la cream dial explorer.

Hey Don,

Just for info only but here is a nice Double Red Seadweller at Nick Hackos in Mosman Sydney.

No price on the listing now but it did have $27750.00 when originally listed.

hi don
not that keen on the "comex" sea dweller IMO it just looks like a new sd with some advertising, perhaps im missing the point, but the proper vintage, now your talking im seriously looking into one, but finding a good one might be harder .i think its a waiting game to find a nice one, still im more than pleased with my new one

I looked into Comex Subs and you have better have a very large checkbook if you want one. =) maverick

The coolest thing about the Comex SD, is that you can buy the same watch that they use, just without the logo. Now that is what I call a real tool watch.

for about 80% off. =) maverick

ScanDay .. Did someone say Scanday ..

Dont get me started on those please.
I have done too many of my watches with Cyclops removed and have been shouted at too much .

But, On the other hand ... Could be fun .... But NOT on a Friday please .

In both Sydney and Melbourne . I believe there is also a good one in Aukland NZ. JJ knows where it is.

Cheers Peter

I have never understood the fascination with this watch. It's nothing but a ND Sub with a logo. BFD.

Can some explain the emporer's new clothes to me.

My guess would simply be that people want it, because they can't easily have it, no more or less.
