One quick question, it is a U serial 99xxxxx. I can't seem to understand when its produced.

That is a nice shot. That watch is warming up on me big time.

Congrats!!!

Fantastic what a great watch, although makes me sad as I wish I still had mine!

Gharddog03 · 20 January 2012, 04:54 AM

Congrats on an awesome piece. Very well done on the price.

Congrats!

tkerrmd · 20 January 2012, 05:27 AM

Great watch and deal, congrats!! One of my favorites!!

Mr. K · 20 January 2012, 05:31 AM

Awsome watch, awsome discount. I think you were very wise to buy given that it looks like if it goes to the boutique model of the future, those types of discounts will become rare. Regardless you now have a watch that will serve you well for a lifetime. Enjoy.

Actsulb · 20 January 2012, 05:45 AM

Congrats on a great watch! And the awesome discount. The GMT is a great choice. Enjoy in good health. Cheers!

liuk3 · 20 January 2012, 05:46 AM

Way to not impulse buy. ;-)
Nice purchase!

experimentjon · 20 January 2012, 06:02 AM

Great discount and a great watch! Enjoy that impulse purchase! :D

FeelingTheBlues · 20 January 2012, 06:28 AM

You sure made a good choice, congratulations on both the watch and the good deal!

So the lettering now doesn't show when production is anymore? I read somewhere the newest production is G?
Or the # of digits following the letter determines it as random serial.

Hi Ken

congrats, what a great buy. Wow, at that price I would have bought it, and I already have one!!!

The whole idea of the random serial is to obfuscate the date of manufacture. No one has yet "cracked" the code...

HACKNSACK44 · 20 January 2012, 05:13 PM

Congrats!!
