Baumé et Mercier Capeland XL Impressions

I just purchased this used to add to the collection. It really is a wonderful piece. It’s incredulous to me that they’re so underrated. Oh well. More for me to enjoy at a lesser price I guess. I added a NATO strap for just a little more comfort over the rubber strap. What are your thoughts?

Still running great after three weeks!

So, I sold it a few weeks ago to make room for my Mark 40. I wouldn’t consider it a mistake, but I should have kept it for a beater watch. It just doesn’t seem like B & M gets much love in the industry anymore.

You didn’t have that for very long at all. Why did you give up on it so quickly?

I know. I kinda lamed-out. The band was pretty tight and I was restless about the NATO. I know it sounds superficial, but I was also disappointed in the lack of street cred for the model. It had me concerned (rightly or wrongly) about the eventual desirability when I go to sell. I know these aren’t investments, but that’s my weird line of thinking.
