ArkoN Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 So, I showed my girlfriend this videoclip: Markus Gardeweg - Comex She knows a little bit about fake watches from me. Now she wants a Comex. Of course not the real thing. She cant spend 30k or more on a watch. I searched this forum and checked out the websites of some dealers from here. But I did only find, vintage comex. But she wants a 16610 Comex. This one: http://doubleredseadweller.com/comex16610.htm Do you guys know how to source a good 16610 Comex fake? Is it possible to just, swap in a fake Comex dial on a TC/TW BK/Noob Sub? Are there any fake dials for this 16610 comex? Thanks in advance ;-) greetings ArkoN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drury Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 wow, didn't know they ever made a 16610 comex ... why don't you talk her into the 1680? much nicer imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I agree on the 1680 preference. It's funny but I don't think I have ever seen a 16610 Comex rep. I suppose you could get one commissioned but that will set you back and additional $400 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormTooper4 Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Get a noob eta and put this dial in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gotohavearolexnow Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I know a good site to get a vintage one from pm me and I'll tell you don't know if I'm allowed to say on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArkoN Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 She thinks the 1680 is too thick for her. I showed her the vintages Joshua and others do offer. But I say the experts think you should get the 1680 ;-) @Watchmeister who is doing such things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArkoN Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 which dealer does sell 1680 by the way? I looked now at four to five dealers from RWG no-one has it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asf Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I can't believe I watched the whole video... Josh and angus have 1680's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefcook Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Take one of BK's TW Best subs, let someone drill lug holes, fit a rep 93150 with 501 end links and install this dial from NDTrading and you have exactly the 16800 (NOT 16610!!) that is shown in the video above. http://ndtradingcorp.com/zen/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=356 Of course it will require a lot of work and you'd need someone to relume the hands to mach the dial but it will be a very nice 16800. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArkoN Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 @chefcook Thanks for the details, but thats too expensive :-) I can't believe I watched the whole video... Josh and angus have 1680's Now I found it, they have 1680 but not the comex one`s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I'm wondering if the one on DRSD.com could be replicated with a run-of-the-mill 16610 dial and a decal? Hmmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a one stop shop for you J! Drilled lug holes, 16610 glossy dial and you just drop one of your decals. I smell a project! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnipz Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Whats wrong with a 1680? Does she know it exists without the little comex logo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArkoN Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I buy this Watch: http://www.1-pc8838.com/rlsdv01003-vintage-1665-comex-asia-2836-p-7600.html + Swiss eta2824-2 28bph Then I would like to have a crystal like this one: http://www.1-pc8838.com/rlss00077-classic-dial-2008-updateasian-3135-p-7922.html And the bezel from the new Sea Dweiler: http://www.1-pc8838.com/0rlsd00077-classic-dweller-p-11800.html what do you guys think? I know its a fantasy watch then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lhooq Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I smell a project! Knowing J, he's already built it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefcook Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Is that possible? It won't fit. And the other question is: Why spend that much money on a fantasy watch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
