watchguy51 Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 (edited) I'm interested in getting a COMEX branded Rolex but had a couple questions. First of all, I have no idea whos is best to get, or whether I should get a SD one or a sub. But I was also wondering about the bezel inserts on these. I also see a lot of photos of these that make them look a blue-grey colour, sort of like a Tudor Snowflake (I love this), but I realize it is probably just people vintage-izing the insert. Which is it, and does it come like that, or is it people's own mods? Decisions decisions. Thanks!!!

Nanuq Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Some vintage pieces have their insert go slate grey from sun exposure, and others don't fade. I have a gen insert from 1971 that spent tons of time in the sun and it's completely unfaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchguy51 Posted March 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Is anyone selling ones with a pre-faded bezel? Also, who's selling the better COMEXes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Is anyone selling ones with a pre-faded bezel? Also, who's selling the better COMEXes? I believe that the only way to find one with and aged,faded bezel insert is to either get one (watch) that's already been aged from a member on the watch sales forum, or buy a new one and replace the shiny balck insert with a genuine faded insert. There are always inserts for sale on the Vintage Rolex Market. I never saw a new rep come witha faded insert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
