I purchased this watch from my jeweler in 1999 for $1500 when I was twenty-one. I have worn it regularly since that time. However, I just bought a vintage Tag Heuer and feel like it's time for this watch to have a new owner. It will arrive to you with a fresh battery. Baume Mercier is a swiss luxury brand and this watch is luxurious, but tough as nails. This watch has been in hot tubs, swimming pools, and oceans. This watch has been in Monte Carlo casinos, government aid offices, and everywhere in between. I have worn this watch in five countries, and it always gets compliments, sometimes people tried to steal this watch, which is always a great compliment. This watch could be worn by a man or a woman, it's case is approximately 25x30mm and about 5mm thick of the finest surgical stainless steel, the band looks to be 18mm wide and is also surgical stainless. I kept the box for about fifteen years and finally got rid of it during a move. In other words, you are just getting a great watch. This watch has stories. Maybe not Pulp Fiction level stories but that's a movie and this watch is real life. I just put a black leather hand on it because I felt like mixing it up. I will include it and the metal band to the lucky purchase. Make me an offer.
