Received this one yesterday. I can't ID it. Lisa has one just like it and it is listed as an unknown model. This one is super nice for the age. I think the band may be the original. It has a broken main spring currently and I'm suspecting that when it broke it was put in a drawer somewhere until it was found and sold to me.
It has a dust cover for the movement but I removed it for the photo.
What a beauty Merc, well found. Looks like she's in very nice condition.
Bernice is my vote. In most of the adverts we don't see the enamel but in this one we do:

Oh, I think you're right on the bracelet too, same as the ad.

I don't know. This is an ad I have for the Bernice from a Dec. 1928 issue of the Saturday Evening Post.
If you look at it closely, you can see it doesn't have the enamel and the engraving is different. Notice there is no engraving at the crown position and none on the other side in that location and there is a small section at the top and bottom of the case that doesn't have engraving. Plus the engraving is not the same as what is on my watch. Then take the engraving around the crystal into consideration and there's a lot of differences.
