Hi guys,

I have purchased brand new Colt GMT from AD on 2 weeks ago.
The date code that I found on the watch at 6 o'clock was 0908 B5.
The bracelet shows w1108 as date code.

What I found from the forum is that the first 2 digit is production week and second digit is production year.

I was expecting at least middle of year production not from early last year.

Should I keep it or should I ask for brand new from this year?


Thank you.

Not the least bit surprising. Watches can sit a while. I would pay it no mind at all. If you are otherwise happy with the watch, enjoy it! 18 months is not that long from production to sale for a pricey luxury item. Enjoy it. Pics please! :lingsrock:
