Baume and Mercier are one of those brands that really do slip under the radar compared to other brands. The watch is fantastic. The build quality and finishing is amazing. Its super comfy to wear and keeps time extremely accurately. It has the Baumatic movement and it was only when I looked on their website I discovered the watch has COSC certification. (Baume and Mercier obviously don't jump up and down about this compared to other brands). The watch is stunning to look at. The dial is more purple/ dark blue in the flesh so to speak. Yes people are going to claim is a Royal Oak Homage but the original Riviera model was released less that twelve months after the Royal Oak in 1973. That's too short a time to copy another watch, so its definitely its own thing. With a five day (!!!) power reserve, in house calibre, 100m water resistance, a strap changing system that is effortless, see through dial and with immaculate finishing and styling; what is not to like about this watch.
Once again First Class Watches excel themselves in terms of service and delivery. (the watch was also cheaper that other retailers) Its easy to see why I keep coming back to the company and buy from them time and again.
