Hey gang,

I have a friend who wants to purchase a Coke GMT. I believe they are out of production now. I dont quite understand how the model numbers work. If you were to buy one, what model/year would you purchase and why? what is a fair price for one?

thanks for your help

Jeff

Search here and the internet for model #s, serial #s, etc.
A 16710 model can have the bezel switched out from Coke to Pepsi to black, something to keep in mind.
Way too many variables to talk price. Condition, age, etc factor in.

Here's a decent reference on changes...

K, z or m serial

Buy the seller and £4k ($6,2k) is good going for a watch in good to excellent condition with minimal bracelet stretch. Look for polishing flares and rounded case edges too and I usually avoid the battered and poorly refurbed jobs
