For sale is a "special-watch-to-me"... My Baume & Mercier Hampton Milleis with AUTOMATIC Mvt, which was a gift several years ago and I would normally keep it but it has really not be getting wrist time at all, I kinda forced myself to wear it twice over the past year maybe and I just think it is a shame that such a beauty stays in my watch case unworn... especially as there are grails out there I want to buy:) but need to fund via watch sales.

I used to wear this watch a lot and it had scratches/blemishes on the bracelet and case but just a few months ago I had it repolished (i posted about it here) so it is really looking good and shinny as you can see. I wore it twice since it was redone. My taste has changed and I like divers, bigger watches... I also typically don't wear polished SS watches, just Brushed. There is a ding that you can see in two of the close ups below... I just took the pictures below today and they include close ups so you can assess the current actual condition of this watch. I was given this watch during one of my vacation in France and I never brought the box with me. The watch comes without the box/papers, as is but I will pack it very carefully so no worries about shipping. I have a 7"+ wrist, but less than 7 1/4, it is lose on me and I have an extra link.

My dad had purchased it at the local AD in our home town:

http://www.baume-et-mercier.com/retailers?type=1&region=1&country=FR&city=25

$ 825 PayPal, with USPS Priority shipping ConUS included as well as PayPal fees.

NO TRADES please unless you have a Doxa Searambler or Caribean dial, Breitling SO, Oris Diver I may consider (Cash add'l no issue). But I would rather sell.

I do not hold watches and won't respond to lowball offers. Serious inquiries only please. I have sold many watches on line. Watch has not been worn since the pics below were taken.

Thanks for "watching"
