Having a Comex is just like having a MOD issued watch. To some people, a watch having a history of real use and 'heritage' means more than buying a second hand watch bought by a yuppie on Bond St.
Personally, I can see the appeal in that, though think that appeal and the price increase that comes with it is just ridiculous. That and the fact that some Comex watches were issued to management and office staff, so your £20-50k watch may not have the provenance you think...
Also, I think the Comex dial is ugly and is way more of a negative than any benefit of the association.
