Thoughts on US eBay Coke GMT II
Discussion
Chaps,
This seems like cracking value: http://www.ebay.com/itm/331109969937?ssPageName=ST...
Pretty much a full set, watch looks in good condition, all links are present (important for me)and it looks genuine to me, from a seller with good feedback.
I am in the US, so no real postage issues etc.
Can anyone spot anything wrong that I am missing?
The only way I can justify a GMT II at the moment is if it offers this sort of value and at well under £3k, this seems amazing.

It states that it has been checked for authenticity, etc – and as it's eBay/Paypal (and if you're using your CC, then Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act is applicable), I'd say you've got very little to be concerned about.
If you're still going to be there for a while after you've received it, then I'm sure you could find a local AD to do a bit more reassuring for you, if you ask nicely.

Hey chaps - I live/ am resident in the US at the moment (Houston, Texas).
So, nothing more to pay than the 'Buy It Now' price (I used up all my 'offers' - LOL).
I may be shipped off to Lagos for a couple of months in the next week or so, so I deserve a treat, right?
That will also put a few extra quid in my pocket, so this is effectively more than paid for... Man maths!
I won't be moving back to re-join Mrs9 in London until summer, I reckon
Anyway, this will cover my requirement for some wrist colour (prefer it to a Pepsi) and I need a GMT with all this travel, right?
Might ping them a couple of questions and then pull the trigger, based on the answers...

Get it bought 
Your wish is my command...A few quid credit in my PayPal account so paid through there and on CC, just in case...
It looks like I have paid (with the conversion on my CC) £2,818, which I consider a bit of a bargain!
So, this and my 1998 SD will be keepers, methinks!
Thanks for all the help and input, fellas!
Will report back with pics, hopefully by the weekend!
Can't help with the 'Root Beer' as I wasn't familiar with them until recently!
Not my cup of tea, if I am honest but our very own DominicH had one, recently, I think!
so, my Coke GMT II landed this morning, so they got it here in something like 18hrs for no fee - very impressive!
Quick adjustment (right to the end, gulp) of the clasp and it is on!
How is it... Well.... AWESOME! Why haven't I had one of these before?
Loving the size, love the black and red, love the GMT hand so I know what time it is at home ( ) and it's very comfortable!
Less than £3k and an almost complete set, not a scratch on it (though it's definitely been polished) - perfect!
Will have it authenticated 'just in case' but I think I may have done the deal of the year, here!
16600 SD for under £4k and a GMT II for under £3k in the last few months - Loving the bargain hunt!
Terrible old school Blackberry pic from me, as usual:
Probably shouldn't have spent the money since this happened on the way into work...
You only live once - Now I just need a bigger winder!

That was my thought... Dom H took my ND Sub off me for around £3k so my view was that this would 'never' (apply usual caveats) be worth less than what I paid, in the UK!
I told Mrs9 that it was as good as money but she's 5,000 miles away and wouldn't seek to stop me, anyway
So, some thoughts after 24hrs with the watch: Left it out of the winder last night and it is still running nicely and keeping time, so that's all good! Only issue for me, and the reason I went ND Sub, SD, DSSD is the cyclops - I've never liked them! If you don't catch it straight on, it's like looking into the eyes of that kid from school with the bottle-bottom glasses and gammy eye!
Another nice touch was that the watch had been shipped to me with the correct time set! Not that unusual but bear in mind that Florida and Texas are in different time zones, so some effort was made!
I am 101% pleased with it. It's had a sympathetic polish, I think the bezel insert may have been replaced and I'll have a dealer cast their eye over it this weekend as I am still a bit in shock with the 'too good to be true' thing! But I am really, really happy with it.
Wanted some colour and I am loving the red/ black. Do I prefer it to my 16600SD, which tends to be my daily? Not sure yet... Give me a few weeks and I shall report back!!
