What do you think of this watch?

Are there any similar watches in design with mechanical movement?

It's very nice. They make good watches. Another suggestion is Raymond Weil. They are a little downgrade from B/M but they might have something.

I wouldn't drop over a grand for a quartz. Maybe look at Oris around that price.

A very formal watch and probably not suitable for everyday work unless you wear a suit. I find Baume & Mercier to be a bit pretentious. I'd recommend some of the modern automatic Hamiltons which are reasonably priced (<$500). Alan Furman in DC has a good selection. Personally, I like the look of vintage watches. The only problem is, like w/ women, they require high maintenance!

That watch at that price is way past the point of diminishing returns. Especially for quartz.

I have a Raymond Weil that is quite similar in design to this B&M. I've had it about 10 years and been very happy with it. From their current range, this one is the closest in design to mine. http://www.raymond-weil.ch/Modules/S...Id=MzQy&Page=1 I'm not up on current prices, but I'd be surprised if you couldn't do better than the price on the B&M.

I have a Baume & Mercier like that and it has been a great watch.

Try some online vendors like www.overstock.com and others-I've seen B&M discounted a lot.
