ma se uno smarriva l'orologio, perche doveva cancellare l'assegnazione?
se l'aveva smarrito qualcunaltro poteva ritrovarlo
la mia definizione di "smarrimento" era ironica.....
molti "smarrivano"

l'orologio in cambio di vil pecunia.
spesso per cifre oggi ridicole
(a volte appena qualche centinaio di dollari

,ma il collezionismo rolex era al di là da venire....)
leggete voi stessi una mail spedita a ed delgado da un ex comex....

"I have owned my 5514 for a great many years (I was a professional diver). In the business we were led to believe these models were in some way
inferior to "proper" Rolex's

and I have seen these watches up to the mid 80's
change hands in bars around the world for as little as $100 because of this perception."
è anche molto interessante cosa scrive a proposito dei quardanti 5514.....
"My 5514 has
never had the COMEX decal on the dial, it has all the other features and has been serviced by Rolex so it is authentic......This is not unusual as you already know
I have seen at least 30-40 of these models (without COMEX on the dial) over time..."
