Hi guys,

I was about to get a Baume and Mercier off Macy's but decided to look at used Breitlings which were in the same price range. I dont' know much about colts, but I like the smaller sizes. I came across this on ebay (link below). Fake? real? Any thoughts on authenticity, pricing, concerns would be much appreciated. Thanks!

The watch looks real to me, but I'll let others with more experience chime in.

The Colt GMT new is $2,895, so, if you can get a 25% discount, you're still looking at around $2,175, so I'd say this is not a bad deal.

Only concern is the seller only has a few sales. Always buy the seller!

What's nice is, comes with all boxes and papers!

If you really think you're interested, I'd ask the seller a few questions, see if you can get a feel for him, and also make sure to pay in such a way that if there's a problem, you can dispute it (Paypal, credit card...)

Good luck, it's a beautiful watch!

Looks OK to me from those pics although Colt GMT replicas do exist.

You should ask for pics showing the s/n on the watch matches that on the warranty book and COSC.

That one is 100% real.
GMT hand on rep is too short and thick.
