Just put a deposit down for a 2008 gmt coke. I paid £2900 for it as it 2nd hand.

Is that too low for a 2008 coke?
Is a 2008 gmt coke 3185 or 3186 movement?

Regards

kcmo · 23 January 2009, 02:00 AM

Congrats! You're going to LOVE it! If it is a M serial then I assume it's a 3186. Come back with pics!

Great price too!

hflee55 · 23 January 2009, 02:03 AM

Congrats!

alphamale2012 · 23 January 2009, 02:07 AM

Many thanks. I was just suprised to see that its the same price as a 5 year old sub date?

padi56 · 23 January 2009, 02:08 AM

Congratulations on your new watch the 3186 is only a slightly modded 3185.But the 3185 has a very reliable accurate track record over the past 20 years so in theory 3186 should be as good.

Congrats on a true classic.

Wear it in good health.

Congrads. I was at my AD yesterday, and he had 3 watches that were traded in. One was a SD 1998, ExpII, and a Sub LV. The Sub was sold as i was looking at the SD. Ron

edster · 23 January 2009, 05:26 PM

Hi,

Nice watch and a good price, I'm looking for one myself, would you mind saying where you bought it from? I'm from Cambridge orignally and was home for Christmas but none of the dealers had them in stock, I'm now trawling various websites daily to see if I can find one and get it sent over to NZ.

Cheers

Ed

alphamale2012 · 24 January 2009, 01:14 AM

Thanks guys,

So I'm wearing the coke now on a blk nato (don't tell JJ) and must say it looks good. As I'm going back to iraq nato would be more suitable. By the way its a V series so I dont think its a 2008 even though I was told it is. Anyone know what year that is?

alphamale2012 · 24 January 2009, 01:31 AM

Just to let you know its a T series and not V.

Latrodectus · 24 January 2009, 12:21 PM

You are getting a great watch! Congratulations!

HDHNTER · 24 January 2009, 12:28 PM

Congrats! Excellent choice....my .02, you could not have made a wiser choice. Now the hunt begins for the other bezel inserts.
