Rolex Comex Submariner 5514 - An Underwater Treasure
Like people, some watches are very special: they are not only rare models, but have a history that make them unique, an aura that definitely makes the difference for a collector who likes the concept of âtoolwatchâ. In late 2010, I was lucky enough to...
That is a fantastic catch, Jeff.
The scars of its past life adds a lot of charm to this watch. Fantastic addition, my friend. Congratulations. Nicolas.
Indeed every Rolex have a story

This one is as original as they come.
Right from the source and with such an interesting history that is well documented. Congrats Jeff & wear it proud! Best F
What a story !
Thanks for this story Jeff, this way you can really understand the history regarding these treasures! The cool thing is the guy has worn (and "abused")the watch for 30 years on, bringing it in for service and being told the value ... . Cheerio, Filip
That's a real piece of history Jeff!
Authentic and fully documented as we like them! And to me the fact that there are signs of the real life of the watch adds value! A great addition to your state of the art collection! Awaiting the group shot with the DRSD and the Proplof! Matt

Why do I like rolex?
An important part of rolex's glamour is the idea of the watch of explorers, discoverers, adventurers, and the like. In the case of COMEX, this is increased by the risky nature of their divers, we are talking here of real day used watches, back up all that...
