It's a nice looking watch, especially for $230, but surely the logo is wrong.
Mercer is old english for a fabric merchant, so perhaps the cutlass should be this:

I think there was some blurb re the name and connection with a cutlass, but I cant be bothered to take another look. Might have been related to War of Independence?
Off topic, but when I was working in Houston I was quite frequently (ie more than once) asked when we had our independence day! Same thing happened when working in Kuala Lumpur.

Two field engineers just upgraded to OO spec for pistonheaders.

After my disappointment that the Sinn EZM10 was too big, I've picked up another Sinn with a central chrono. I've alway loved the 142 and one came up at a good price on TZ-UK yesterday. I really like this one
And with it's Porsche Design cousin. Got a bit of catching up to do with Andy, but it's a start.

Just done a deal on this rare beast
Sellers pic for now of course
Is that a watch to wear only on your right wrist? Crown on left of name on face of watch. Odd looking but a nice watch nonetheless!Sellers pic for now of course
I'll be wearing mine on the right wrist.
Autavia's have the crown on the left & the chrono pushers on the right

It's basically a re-issue of a 1958 model but it's brand new and limited to 800 pieces for this reference.
This is the new addition to my fleet, an Oris Pro Diver.
I won it on EBay and it should arrive this week.
It's a watch I've admired for a good while and I decided on this after comparing to Planet Oceans and various Breitlings which whilst at least twice the price weren't twice the watch.
It's huge at 51mm and comes with all the documents and boxes.
Paid £1285 plus P and P which felt right to me as I've seen others go for North of £1600.
I did make an insulting offer on a new one at Ernest Jones Brent Cross (£2000 against a list of £2750) but the best they could do was £2375 so I went for used. It sounds like a nice watch.

Benny and Eddie - I can only congratulate you on your fine choices! The pd/Sinn looks in great nick - as is the silverstone lemania - super colour on that one.
:jealous:
Thanks Andy:jealous:
Been on the hunt for one of these for a while (specifically Lemania branded with the blue herringbone dial).
A slightly better picture
