The equivalent of a decent house cost wise I'd imagine.

There was a matched pair with a big backstory of diving operations which went for $500,000 i have no idea if these are them as my Japanese wasnt good enough at the time (photo taken in Fukuoka 2015) but they did say they were a matched pair!

Cant believe i never asked the price.

i actually didn't know what COMEX was even though i've heard it in the context of Rolex many times. I've now Googled it!

The shop is basically just a department store but they had these, about five double reds and even more single reds.
Going again in a few weeks will try and get back take some more photos and ask a few questions.

Yep! I'd love one, but then again I have a couple of hockey puck POs so what do I know.

Pah! All the sheep are getting excited about some cheapo diving watch, the real new Rolex release at Basel with red writing has slipped somewhat under the radar on PH.

Behold...

[Wills2]

That featured as one of the first releases on Hodinkee yesterday.

No, just the three (make that four now) other threads about it in the PH watch forum, including the one titled "50th anniversary sea dweller"!

don't care really. The reason for mentioning it on here was not oh look a new watch, but oh look it has red text and small details only some will notice.
