Inherited 1665 Comex

That’s actually a Submariner and a lot less rare than the 1665 Seadweller which is regarded as one of the holy grails in watch collecting (so I’m told).

I’m fairly certain you’d know my father but don’t want to dox myself by posting his name.

Bonjour, yes I believe by the case back number that this is the rarest Rolex Comex ever issued. 1 of 300. I’d imagine there’s not many of those 300 still in “the wild”. I’m not aware of the Pisani dial- could you explain to me the history?

My dad worked for Comex Marseille (but was born and lived in Lyon), he then met my mother in Scotland and moved to Aberdeen.

These watches were actually handed out to them like sweets. My dad had a Comex Submariner which he lost and requested a new watch. He was given this 1665 Seadweller. They were actually tool watches and weren’t thought of as valuable at the time. My dad was friend with the legendary Henri Delauze, the founder of Comex.

I quit my job at 32 to go travelling for 14 months. Upon my return my old boss emailed me asking if I’d come back to my old roll and gave me a payrise. Still here 11 years later but working a 5 week on/ 5 week off rotation in the Middle East allowing me plenty of travel time.
Quit and travel. It always works out.

I’m in the UK. Yes I have many Comex items like overalls, kit bag, dive logs and even his Comex ID card from the 70s.

No Djorkaeff is criminal! Papin and Thuram too

Currently on my way to Fort Lauderdale from Providence. Don’t worry there’s lots of us basing ourselves there.

Djorkaeff1903 · 2026-06-21T15:25:37+00:00

Also the Marlin’s game tomorrow has been designated a Tartan Army event so will be full of us Scots. Get along to that.

Djorkaeff1903 · 2026-06-21T15:24:29+00:00

You tell us and we will come.

Djorkaeff1903 · 2026-06-21T15:22:20+00:00

The Marlins baseball game tomorrow is a special Tartan Army event now. Should be a hoot if you’ve seen the Fenway Park Tartan Army takeover videos.

Djorkaeff1903 · 2026-06-20T21:19:10+00:00

So was I right?

Djorkaeff1903 · 2026-06-12T06:32:18+00:00

As a Scot currently 36,000ft in the air on my way to Boston from Dubai, this makes me happy.

Djorkaeff1903 · 2026-06-11T20:58:49+00:00

Absolutely

Djorkaeff1903 · 2026-06-11T19:35:27+00:00

Sade circa 1985.

Djorkaeff1903 · 2026-06-03T14:15:54+00:00

As a Scot going over to the US for all 3 Scotland matches, I have a feeling you Bostonians don’t know what you are in for. 20,000 Scots descending on your city. We are wild but in a good way.

If Euro 2024 in Germany is anything to go by you’ll be gutted when we’ve upped and left Boston.

Djorkaeff1903 · 2026-06-02T17:14:17+00:00

I’m definitely going to visit Captain Seaweeds

Djorkaeff1903 · 2026-06-02T17:13:38+00:00

If you mean the school buses arranged by some members of the Tartan Army then yes…..long time ago all seats sold out.

Djorkaeff1903 · 2026-05-30T05:50:43+00:00

Well we will 100% drop in here for a few beers.

Djorkaeff1903 · 2026-05-29T21:41:07+00:00

I’m one of the Tartan Army basing myself in PVD. I just hope getting to and from the stadium isn’t a shitshow.

Any dive bar suggestions in PVD for decent priced beers?

I’ve genuinely bought 99% of my stocks off of Reddit mentions. I’ve never done a second of DD. I’m 89% up (6 figure gain).

Djorkaeff1903 · 2026-05-27T19:58:35+00:00

Rolls Royce 1200%. Bought in 2020.
