Comex 16610

OK, let's say it was built in 1986, making it a 16800 model.

1. Get rid of the hologram sticker on the back, it's totally bogus

2. Trim the crown guards

3. Put a bigger pearl in there, like the one from www.watchmaterial.com, PN 315-16800-1

4. Change out the bracelet to the correct 93150 with the hollow end links, #593 end pieces are correct for the 16800, 501B for the early 16610's. SEL's didn't come around till after 2000, I believe.

5. Drill out the lug holes and put in gen spring bars.

Rehaut on the 16800 was shallower than the 16610 due to the movement being the 3035. So this CN case isn't that bad.

The date wheel is probably the modern one, but it's only a rep, so what the heck!

I'm assuming a Comex 16800/16610 did not have an HEV, that would have been on the Comex SD's.

At that point you'd have a pretty decent rep IMO, and for not a whole lot of extra money- if you do tythe mods yourself

Well, that's good to know, because I have a Comex dial for a 16610, I just haven't put it in a watch yet- I'm not sure, but it does have four dial feet- maybe two asian and two eta- I should be so lucky. Just cut off the two you aren't gonna use.
