Exactly how it came into his ownership is a mystery but I've read that comex did work inspecting and maintaining offshore oil platforms.
It's been a wonderful find and I will be bringing it back to the UK with me. In the meantime I'll give it a clean but have been told that I shouldn't polish the crystal or service it.
Is this true?
Many thanks

It's sensible advice. You'll be better placed when you've had someone familiar with Comex watches examine the watch.
