Merkur crossline dark blue dial watch arrives at the AMCHPR
Steel case, Merkur's Tongji style movement, 5 ATM WR (so OK to get wet but don't push it, is my reading), 38mm case, 20mm lugs, 45mm lug-to-lug, 12mm thick, and it has Merkur's K1 mineral crystal, which is as good a mineral crystal as I've ever seen with its light-handling and the acrylic-like rounding (and at least as good as Seiko usually provides for a couple of hundred bucks more), but I'd prefer sapphire.
Still, for $100USD, it might not be easy to come up with a nicer looking watch for slightly dressier social or office wear. The provided strap, seen here, is...OK...but I don't think it helps the watch at all, and with a better strap, I'm thinking this will look like a few more $$$ on my wrist than I paid.
And the caseback is pure coolness.

Yet another fine looking watch for your collection.
