I have for sale a watch that I bought new back in 2013 -- a Baume & Mercier Riviera Sport Chronograph. The model number is 8594, and it has a 43 mm diameter black dial with silver sub-dials, and a Baume & Mercier Caliber 13750 movement keeping excellent time. It hasn't needed service since I bought it, and only loses about a minute every couple of weeks or so. The chronograph works perfectly also. The watch is a very masculine 14 mm thick, and has a scratch-free, scratch-resistance sapphire crystal. The dial is in an excellent condition, with the logo and printing clearly visible and good luminescence performance. The watch was also always left on a winder as it was worn only once a week.
The watch only came with the rubber strap when I bought it, which I wore for a little while, and then purchased the original steel bracelet directly from Baume & Mercier. The band is Baume & Mercier Black Vulcanized Rubber MX0034BG, and the bracelet is Baume & Mercier Steel Bracelet MX003LB7. Both have a lug width of 21 mm. I paid over $4,000 total for the whole package, and am only asking $999 now including PayPal fee and priority mail shipping CONUS. In other words, $999 will get you the watch, the rubber strap with deployment clasp, the steel bracelet, and free priority mail shipping. As you can see from the high-resolution photos below, the case, bracelet, and the rubber strap clasp all have normal wear marks (small swirls and scratches, flea bites, tiny dings), from being used once a week for three years (it was my Monday work watch). It is still in a very good overall condition -- I'd rate the cosmetics at 7/10, and functionality at 10/10.
It is a very handsome watch, and a definite compliment-getter. It's the closest you could get to Audemars Piguet Royal Oak for under 1K, and it's also important to note that the Riviera Sport actually predated the Royal Oak! So, the Riviera Sport wasn't "inspired" by the Royal Oak -- it was the other way round! Plenty of references available from past sales on here, as well as on eBay -- just ask!
