The Meridian Prime is made in two versions, one with the sub seconds hand at six o’clock and one with it at nine o’clock.  The choice that you make is one of personal preference based on how each one looks.

While they have been made with titanium cases in the past, they are now available in stainless steel.

The great thing about a Meridian Prime watch is that it can be made to the customer’s own colour specification. A complete one-off design!

Choosing the right Meridian

Look for ….
<ul>
 	<li>Scratches and dents on the case, bezel and bracelet.</li>
 	<li>Excess wear in the bracelet.</li>
 	<li>Bad or over polishing which distorts the case edges.</li>
</ul>

Check the condition

A watch with box and papers or even a Full Set is a nice thing to have. It can also increase the investment value of your watch when you come to sell it. Of course this works both ways and therefore buying a watch with box and papers or a Full Set will increase the cost.

Do I need the Box and Papers?

For absolute confidence, we would always advise you ask an expert and/or buy from a reputable seller.
