There IS gravity on the moon. What is missing is air or an atmosphere, which is why the feather and hammer fall at the same rate, because there's no air friction. If there were no gravity on the moon, neither the hammer nor the feather would fall at all. But the Bulova is very nice! Cheers!

Man, you deserve 1M subscribers. Never thought that watches reviews could be so fun and entertaining. Thank you very much for this!

The wave and the ‘hello’ with the tiny hand makes me smile every time.

Congratulations once again on reaching 10,000 subs, at this rate you will soon be at 50,000 my friend, another great video Russ matey!

One of my top 10 watches in my collection.. Then again, I am 6ft with 7.5 inch wrists and "built like a brick outhouse" so it looks perfectly normal on me. Wore it for a Halloween night out where I was DJ-ing for an alternative 1980s night with a black and orange nato strap, black shirt with pink flamingo's on it, black jeans and winklepickers. Looks absolutely epic. Alas, not a watch for short arses.

Such a cool watch! Big up to Glynn for sending in his new watch so you can share it with us all 🙌 I can totally see one of these having a place in my collection one day. It is probably a bit too big but it looks so good, has a great story behind it and I love that tenth of a second sub dial. Cracking show as always MWC and congratulations again on hitting 10000 subscribers 🥳👏👏👏👏

I have one of these. A few comments: - Bulova *does* offer a version without the date complication and with the same 1970s-era Bulova logo on the dial (but still the bigger size though) - the 5ATM WR isn’t particularly bothersome, as the Omega Speedmaster Professional is *also* 5ATM WR - if you use a NASA-style Velcro strap (like, for example, Kizzi), it does help reduce the lug overhang (I have a 7” wrist so I can get away with wearing it - just) - I do like the lever-style chrono pushers, you don’t often see that style on chronographs

Congratulations on 10,000 subscribers! It's only the beginning my friend. Can't wait until you hit 50k and then 100k. Thank you for a GREAT video. Was not aware of this watch so thank you for the introduction. Have a GREAT day and thank you Russell for ALL you do for the watch community!

Thanks for putting me in your Casio Corner! The Ferris Bueller's Day Off is actually a VHS version of the movie. And congrats on your milestone achievement my friend!

I find your reviews to be most enjoyable! Thank you!

Lol Man I love your channel. Your enthusiasm in these videos is awesome. Thanks for doing what you do.

Got to say I have mine in black which has no date window and I just love it, changed out the strap for a nato much better😊

Great review and great Red Dwarf smeg reference. As Kryton could have said…. “There are 2 problems with this watch! One, it’s a little large and two, it’s a little large! Now I realise that technically speaking that’s only one problem, but it’s so big, it’s worth mentioning twice!” Congratulations again on 10k subscriptions! So we’ll deserved.

Just bought the leather edition of this watch today for $400. Your review talked me into it. I love a watch with a good story to it. The Macys limited edition comes without a date window, if you prefer the original dial. I’m super happy that the tach ring is under the sapphire on this watch instead of an exterior bezel. Really helps the wearability without worrying about banging up a bezel. You should check out the urban gentry walkthrough of the Bulova museum… Bulova is such a great American watch company.

This is a beauty. Congratulations on 10K subs!

Just watched your Casio Collection vid and I fell in love! Your videos are fantastic and I just subbed :) looking forward to more!

The way u were telling the stories and review is awesome! Very entertaining...well done bro! I have ordered mine...cannot wait!

I absolutely love mine! Fantastic shape, incredible dial, awesome crystal, amazing pushers, insane accuracy. One of my favourites of all time, fits me perfectly. I just wish the lume and WR was better! Great video Russ!

Gz for your 10k subscribers 🎉🎉🍾🍾

Another great vid Russ. 10K well deserved. I was about to pull the trigger on one of these a ways back and did a double-take at that 45mm. That was a deal breaker for me too. Bit of a missed opportunity for Bulova really. Reckon if they'd got it down to 42mm it would've been a real hit.

I’ve just come across this channel. I love your entertaining style. Subscribed.👍

Congratulations at hitting ten K, ..another brilliant show.

Great review, great watch, I have an 8 inch wrist and it sits just fine, the quality and presentation punch way above its price point. Fantastic daily wear without worrying about wear and expensive Omega moon watch. One feature I love is the crystal is protecting the outside black ring markers, usually these painted black rings get scratches first up with mild knocks. All in all great watch, amazing back story and looks the business. Comes with a NATO strap too extra on certain packages.

I have ordered mine, should arrive today. Very excited

Got mine today, paid £310 from Amazon which included shipping from the states. I love the watch and for the money I think it's unbelievable quality. A definite keeper for my collection. Thanks for the review. 👍

I've owned an Omega Speedmaster, and was not really impressed, especially given the cost. I now own the Bulova Lunar Pilot, and it has exceeded my expectations. It's really well made, has a superior dial, and vastly better accuracy. Battery life is about 3 years, and not difficult to change it yourself if you have the proper tools.

Got this watch, loved it It is big, but not as big as most people think, and the date complication doesnt bother me at all, the color matches the dial, so I almost never notice the window, but its there when I need it

Very nice video! The Bulova 50th anniversary is soooo cool!!!

Got mine yesterday without the date complication, I am perfectly fine with the size (own several G-shocks). No regrets, amazing piece. No need to get a speedy

"hey, people love that design, let's re-issue it un-changed!" *guy in corner* "well hold on there, not so fast..."

I can't get enough of your ridiculously entertaining...presentation and production. I've had the bracelet version of Bulova Lunar Pilot since release in 2015. I also own an Omega Speedmaster Professional. I have an 8" wrist so sizing is excellent. The bracelet is pretty much the perfect band for the watch. It's 20mm, so it fits with the 60s-70s esthetic. It also resembles the Omega Speedmaster Professional's bracelet from that era. I wear the Lunar Pilot daily, so the black writing has faded to simply silver...which looks great. Accuracy is incredible. I use the chrono feature a lot, and the first battery lasted 3.5 years. I'm about to replace the second battery. I don't baby the Lunar Pilot, and the unique sapphire crystal has never been scratched or chipped. The movement is very unique and a technological wonder. It should get more respect, similar to the Grand Seiko's Spring Drive.

Another very entertaining review, you're reactions to the dimensions were brilliant 😂. Great watch, but you're absolutely correct, it would be so much better without the date and a few mm smaller!

I've got the PVD version, killer watch for the larger wristed.

Love my bulova lunar pilot 💕

Early crew is HERE! And I’m ready to learn new stuff from Russ!

So cool ! I love watches but i'm far from rich. It's great that it's 45mm because i have a big wrist. Now i can own a watch with some real history behind it that i can afford. So well done Bulova

Please make a review od a new 43 mm lunar pilot. I just bought one and I am curious what You think about it! Great video! Cheers mate

Similar thoughts on the size enlargement; if it was kept to 40mm I’d buy one in a heartbeat! I have another Bulova with the high precision movement, smooth sweep and I really love it. Hopefully another re-re-issue in a smaller size? Keep well all.

Fantastic clip! Super cool intro, informative review and a lot of fun. I like the watch but it's too big for me, too. The design of those pushers is sleek.

Russ my friend...I'm crying too as my wrist is 6.75in. I love this watch but it's too darn big 😫 To make me even more depressed, Amazon US sells it for $412 which is about £305 (even more affordable) 😖😢 Maybe Bulova will come up with a smaller version in the future. If they did it would sell like hot cakes.... Thank you for a wonderful review mate 👍 👏 🙏🙌

I own both watches on the moon. I have a larger wrist, so the case size isn’t an issue. It’s a great watch and always good to have a accurate quartz watch in the box. The Lume on the watch isn’t the best, but that’s not a big deal.

Great show Russ If only it was 40mm I would be on it Congrats on 10k subs you deserve it

Such a cool watch. Not even the poor man's speedy. Stands out in its own right. Roll on Sunday live show!

Cool watch Glynn and nice video Russell. Bulova has some very fun history

Great video.....just picked one up....I have a Speedy, but I like how this one has the date....need it for work....anyway, I believe the LP is so large due to the high frequency movement....

Good review thanks. That 45mm though, properly puts me off, as i've got 6.5" wrist too. Sticking with my '74 Speedy for now ! :)

Love your vids. I just had to have the Lunar Pilot as I've been obsessed with the Apollo missions since watching James Burke and Patrick Moore covering them on the BBC all those years ago. My wrist is a bit bigger than yours so the lugs don't project so I soon get used to the bigger size after wearing a more 'petite' watch.

Amazing video once again, just loved it ! Just to let you know they have another version without the date.

The Lunar Pilot pulled me into this rabbit hole of a hobby...its too big for my 16.5cm wrist but I wear it anyway. The date complication doesnt bother me much as its color matches the dial (at least). Congrats to the 10k followers. Next step 100k...

You can totally wear this watch… it is a useful tool watch. I agree on the date, so will be buying the 50 year limited release sans date.

Great Watch, was very happy to get one when I found out about it! Have mine on a curved end rubber strap from Zuludiver looks really good. I agree it could've been smaller and been able to be worn by many more ! Great Red Dwarf reference too, not heard anyone say Smeg for years ! I'm with your wife Russell, not a fan of the leather strap. Superb video as always ! 👍🙂👌

The size is not a deal breaker ..it’s a magnificent watch with plenty of charisma.. Big watches are in at the moment ..this is the best chronograph for bang for buck out there .. I own the 50 th anniversary one too !! This is a must for any mad watch collector ..buy and wear it with pride !

Got 3; strap, bracelet(not interchangeable, kind of a cash grab if you ask me) and the 50th anniversary edition. Love them all. Fortunately I have an 8” wrist, pretty flat across the back, and it fits me perfectly. The black edition and the high polish do not have the date window and they do have the old bulova script but are still 52mm in length. Little prohibitive for the market. If you have the chance the 50th anniversary model is a good show, still too big for your wrist, but a nice look in titanium and gold plate. Only 5000 made however and I believe they’re sold out, I managed to get a set, one for myself and one for my son. The movement is phenomenal, love the look and really everything about the piece. Great review again. Very entertaining and informative.

I own the limited edition which not only comes with that leather strap but also the NATO strap which I really prefer of the two for regular wear but I will swap it for the leather for more formal occasions. I will say this, I feel for you being small wristed, that you won't be able to enjoy this beauty but now you know what us more robust wristed fellows feel when we discover an absolute jewel of a watch but it's just too small. When I saw the specs on this one I was over the moon (excuse the pun, hmmm not!!!). That being said, those Bulova lady's and lads should come out with a smaller size as well as keeping this one so more of this watches fans can enjoy. PS: I too was a little weirded out with the crystal protruding out of the case but you get used to it pretty quickly. An absolute "stunner" of a watch. Thanks for the video!

I like it. Going to buy one today. I have an 8” wrist so will send you a shot of what it looks like on a man.haha. Once again, super video.

I got the black pvd model on black friday at kohls for a little over $200. Used the savings on black Di Modell Chronissimo leather straps with white stitching, makes the 20mm look 22mm. The black does wear smaller, and the old school font and no date is perfect. Have been wearing the 50th anniversary edition for a month. The titanium is lighter and so comfortable. This is probably the only time it pays to have a 8.75" wrist. Your assessment on this piece is spot on my friend. Bigger wrists get the LPs, smaller ones get Reversos. I wish I could pull one of those off.

Great presentation of this Bulova. It's a great and beautiful watch. It's a pitty they didn't make the same model that went to the moon. Still this beauty goes to the wish list. By the way, congratulatios to Mr. Pagani and his professional insights. Cheers!

It's a handsome watch. Love the pushers.

I love it!!! But I'm afraid it's too big... bummer! Great video, and what a stunner! Thanks Russell 😃

What.... a.... coooooool.... guy!!!!! You would be my best friend of linving in Morelia, Mich, MEX !!! Really liked your reviews !!!

Great review, excellent work! Totally agree, wish it was smaller. If it was, there's no question they'd be selling like hotcakes! The date window doesn't help either, but because it's color-matched, I don't find it terribly distracting. As a reissue, no idea what made them add it!

been considering one of these for a while, but think it is going to drop off the list after your review. Never mind plenty more watches to look at. Just picked up a Christopher Ward C60 300 in bronze in the sales..... loving that already.

What the astronaut proved was that all bodies regardless their masses are accelerated equally in the presence of a gravity field, in this case the moon one. The fact that a feather falls much slower than a hammer on earth is due to air resistance not to their mass difference.

Another Sooper! review Russ , as i have the same wrist size as you i can not buy this watch either but i found a Seiko that has similar qualities at 43mm diameter and 48 lug to lug . I also bought a Bulova Marine Star but the lug to lug at 50 just pushes it away from me and i dont wear it . Oooh get me i'm getting all serious! back to normal next week i'm sure .lol

I’ve been saving to get this watch one day it’s special to me Bc I was born August 2, 👍

As someone with almost 8in wrists I appreciate the size. I bought the PVD black version a few years ago and will say the all black wears smaller. I sold that one and just this week got the polished model (96a225). It’s perfect. No date, and old Bulova logo. I was just never attracted to the blasted case.

This is my first MWC viewing. Wow what a fantastic presentation. I can't wait to watch more of them. See what I just d.. never mind... So this is a definite, try one on first, watch... Hope it fits, cos that superquartz sounds amazing! Who with your tiny wrists wants to take a hit on RRP and sell me theirs?😁😁😁

Great review, I thought the size would be the main limiting factor for you. I love this watch, fits my 7 3/4 inch wrist perfectly. Your wife was right though, the supplied straps didn't cut it, so it's now on a nice maroon colour strap from Zulu Alpha straps. Not going to flip this one. Hope your next Bulova review will be the "surfboard".....I think you'll like that one!

Like always Russ you delivered thank you:)

This whole video reminds me of a 1997 Sega Saturn commercial. Subscribed

I have this watch on the bracelet. I have a 6 3/4 wrist and it firsts alot better than the strap version I find. You should look at the bulova curve, very unusual watch.

I've got the polished no date version. 7.5" wrist. I like it but doesn't get worn much. Leather strap at the moment but want it on a formed rubber strap. It came on a nato strap I think and have put that back in the box.

Another excellent review. So entertaining! 😆

It is a lovely watch my wrist is 7" so it's probably to big for me as well. If I was going to use a time it would be quartz digital chrono with big numbers. I happen to have two SKECHERS digital chronographs. Problem sorted.

Great video on this Boluva Lunar Pilot. Have you considered reviewing the 43mm version? I would really love to own this watch, but like you, I have a 6.5-inch wrist, so the original would be far too big for me. It would be great to know your opinion of the changes and its wearability.

52.5...WHYYYYYYYYYY! I still think I need one of these, it'll look perfect next to my Speedy

I just bought an ex display model. A year ago I went to buy it, for about £450. Always ALWAYS try a watch first, if you can. It was too big so I didn't even bother haggling, I bought a Casioak instead. But yesterday, I went to the same dealer to buy a Royale, and the lunar Pilot is there... discounted 70% off. Bought it in a heartbeat and at that price, just to have one of the coolest movements behind the smartest face, and have a chrono that doesn't look showy, it's a no brainer. Strap mod time!

Oh the Amiga A500 days : ) what fun we had eh lol

So pleased with your review about the Bulova moon watch, as you already know l own the same one and your negatives are the same as mine except the watch size. Luckily l have 7"1/2 inch wrist and it's fine but l wear it with the original Bulova NATO which is superbly comfortable to wear . The date calender is a big no no and it didn't have the original Bulova logo font on the watch face but it is a brilliantly produced 're issue and until l get the money for my Omega Speedmaster it's a great substute until then. Anyway as again you've pulled off another wacky and brilliant video , well done !

Great vid ,I've had this one in my hands wanted to buy it as it's my birth year,but it was too big even for my 7.2 inch wrists.oh and I didn't have 450 quid spare at the time.

Great review Russ. I am convinced Bulova/Citizen needs to retain you and Jody as design consultants. You’re just going to have to work on your VPN to keep Mr. Pagani out of the mix!

VHS case I think. I like Bulova. I had a 1949 I inherited from my Gramps. Nice 62mas too.

Great review and great watch. But is there a reason why the subdials are different from the original, i mean in terms of what they do. Thanks

I love the movement

Love it, want one, but not got one because of the size. Damn shame 😢 Agree that dates have no place on a watch, if your memory is so bad you need to be constantly reminded of the date every time you look at your watch you've got you've got problems!! Great video, thank you 👍🏻👍🏻

100% agree with you on this watch. It needs to be a couple of mm smaller, I could even live with a 42 but 40mm would be perfect, it would be nice to have more layers of BGW-9, and yes more water resistance. I could happily compromise on all of those wants IF Bulova shaped the case better and put some curvature on those lugs to make the lug to lug around 47 or 48mm. Then it would be perfect. These issues of the watch have been widely circulated in the watch world, and I really hoped Bulova would have made these changes for the 50th anniversary of the moon mission. But instead they just changed the colours. Shame as it is a gorgeous watch.

Hi SPACEERS,JUST IN.......😜🤪😝👾👾👾 RUSSELL ITS HUUUGE ON YA..!

Tried this puppy on in the shop but didn't pull the trigger. It looked good (my extra inch makes all the difference) but need to see the blacked out one first, it has no date and the Bulova font is same as original. Congrats on 10k, oh yeah, Mr Pagani is an absolute winner, love it.

It’s a monster, so big, nice case

I seriously considered this watch. Then decided a Bulova 96B432 would show off that sliding second hand A LOT better than that itsy-bitsy one on the lunar pilot. Plus, I like less busy dials and am not a fan of chronograph complications.

Absolutely the best history of a watch

I picked up the polished, no date on a nato version on sale about a year ago. It gets a decent amount of wrist time, yes it’s big but so what? For reference I have a 7 and quarter inch wrist and my smallest watch is a Timex Marlin that I’ll often wear the day after wearing the lunar pilot for comic effect.

Wonderful review !! As you said is really too big. If Bulova is thinking to make a 41 or 42 mm. maybe make sense to buy it.

appreciate the red dwarf reference

It's lovely isn't it. I've had mine seven or eight months. I don't wear it a whole lot, but I like to look at it a lot. I have the black PVD model WITHOUT THE DATE. It came on a black leather nato which was very good, but I currently have it on a black MN style elastic with a thin white stripe to match the chronograph hand. Love the layered dial, beautiful crystal, the case back and the size. With an eight and a quarter inch wrist it's perfect. I'm very sorry to hear it's too big for you. It's an ongoing point of contention isn't it, this watch size business. I wonder when the adjustable diameter watch will make its way onto the market?

hope they release an even smaller one with a mechanical movement =) ofc w/o date and using the old font

I've got a brand related question: the Bulova Accutron is extremely cool - having a "spring drive" watch, but it's quartz! The sweeping seconds hand is just so lovely. Bulova made a spiritual successor (Precisionist) but those are also quite large, similar to this Luna Pilot. Do you know of any quartz movements with simple and clean lay-out (and not too big) that have a sweeping seconds hand? Maybe another brand...?

I’m a huge fan of the Bulova moon chrono! I like it better than the Omega, both the price and I think it’s a more interesting design. Bulova should really put out a true re-issue in the smaller size and without the date wheel. I think they’d sell a bazillion of those! (I’d buy one)

Been a while since this was released, but sapphire can definitely chip. In fact, it's hardness makes it brittle, so it's more likely to chip/shatter than scratch or gouge.

Come on that much afford and great presentation and that much sub!!!
