Best Review on Baume Mercier 8868 Executives Guilloche
As expected from Amazon, the watch arrived on original Omega packaging, intact serial numbers and Amazon warranty card. It did not include any of the original omega cards. Given that I'm regular customer of Amazon and this was the lowest price I could find, I bought the watch in here. It was delivered as advertised. I'm very happy with the transaction.
This watch has the Seamaster written in red. It has applied metal Omega logo and symbol and metal encased dial markers. It has longer hands than the 2531.80 (watch it replaced). Internally this watch uses the improved coaxial caliber 2500. This watch is the same as the 2220.80 but without the steel bracelet.
Since Omega 2500 movement is thicker than the older 1120 caliber (found in 2531.80), this watch is thicker than the former bond watches. Even though the case has the same size, the difference in thickness comes from an extended caseback. Because of the increased height, this watch may not look as nice with Nato bands as older models did.
I love this watch and the only part of it I would change are the skeleton hands. These are not bad, but the hands of the black dial Seamater are outstanding.

I collect fine watches and this Baume and Mercier 8868 watch is simple and elegant with an windowed caseback that allows you to admire the "works".
The face is lovely, the size is appropriate, not outsized as so many expensive watches are these days. Glad I added it to my collection.
I was not surpized at the watch. I had seen it at Macy's for alot more $. Amazon had great price. One of my best dress watches. totaly awesome watch.
This really is a beautiful watch -- I am very happy with my purchase. Two things I did not know: 1) the watch requires movement to keep it from stopping (so if you leave the watch for a day without wearing it, you will need to reset it) and 2) the watch is not completely sound proof so you can hear the dials moving when it is close to your ear. Both minor things and otherwise I think it is very striking and pretty.
