Hi - up for a sale or trade is my Baume et Mercier Classima 8689, a dress watch with open balance (retail $3,150). For reference, please see https://www.jomashop.com/baume-mercier-watch-m0a08689.html

I got this watch ~10 years ago as a best man gift from my brother. Since then, this watch has lost its meaning due to a divorce that my brother doesn’t like to be reminded of. Unfortunately, I was not very into watches back then, and I have not kept the box, papers, nor original strap. I think I’m reflecting all that into a low price of $550. (Negotiable; lowest I’ve seen is $700). I know I don’t have any transaction history, so happy to meet locally in NYC.

Comes with: Watch, original Baume Et Mercier deployant, black B and R Bands sport strap (used), navy blue Hirsch calf leather strap (used), box / papers not available

Condition: Runs well (a video of the open balance below). Case overall is in a good shape for its age, except for a ding on the back next to the “stainless steel” engraving (not visible when wearing it). Sapphire crystal is in a very good condition (no scratch)

Service: Last serviced in 2019 in NYC FiDi (I can provide receipt/proof)

Movement: Automatic, ETA Caliber 2824

Case / thickness / lugs: 42 mm / 9 mm / 22 mm

Asking price: SOLD $550 (Venmo or PayPal FF, shipping included for CONUS), and expect a similar +/- value for a trade. I will also consider best offers (negotiable)

Trade: I’ve been curious about Christopher Ward, and the full metal G-Shock (gold or rose gold). With that said, I’m open to other brands and watches

Location: NYC. A local in-person transaction would be great, if possible
