This is a gorgeous watch. Thank you Teddy for featuring it and bringing it to our attention. While many of Bulova's design are beautiful, very often their watches are too large for guys with small wrists, such as myself. I am glad to see that this watch is relatively sleek and compact, given the complex function of the caliber it houses.

Bulova does it again. Smart, refined looking GMT at a great price. (Only wish the 30m water resistance was improved upon for practical reasons. I've done too many preflights in the rain, and watches get wet.) But for the traveler sitting snugly inside the aircraft cabin hopping time zones, great GMT choice.

I'm glad Bulova is continuing to make nice timepieces and upping their game. A brand with such heritage deserves to be respected. I think they are on the right path. I, myself, have a couple of Bulova watches, along with my Seikos, Orient Star, Tissot, Longines, Breitling and Ulysse Nardin. This GMT might be next on my list.

Might have to purchase online. I live in Hawaii and there was only one delivered to all of the islands from what I could gather, seem to be a dime a dozen online though. Since I'm not rich this is my most expensive watch (got it on sale for $650) but I will say it is by far my favorite. Fits great, looks good, and a leather strap with a butterfly clasp is always a plus. At least in my opinion.

@gamelockbreaks9607 Жыл бұрын

@2062 Arnav Kathuria For under 500 it depends on what you are looking for. Tissot has nice quartz watches at like 350 (prx) you can find the powermatics on sale some times for 550. Seiko have good automatic watches from around the 350 range. As for Hamilton you in the 500 range you would be down to just the khaki. Bulova has some watches in that range just not usually in my personal taste. I do have this watch and love it as well as a skeleton. Orient I don't own one but I know they have a few options in this rage and seem to get a decent amount of praise so just depends on what you are looking for.

@oshoc01 Жыл бұрын

@@ArnavKathuriapersonal Exactly as Gamelockbreaks mentioned: Depends on what you want. In my opinion: If you want mechanical watches For me, Orient is the way to start. Then move to an automatic Tissot (or Longines/Hamilton if they are your style) for a classic style or to a Seiko (especially if looking for sports/diver/GMT). If the movement does not matter, I will go hands down on Citizen Eco-Drive watches, since they quartz but powered by any source of light and are supposed to last for decades. My first dress watch is an Orient (USD 190). My first diver watch is a Citizen Promaster (USD 270). My punchbag is a Timex Ironman (USD 70). I love all of them!!

My wife got me the blue dial variant. I love it, fits on my wrist very well since I have slightly wider wrists than the average person. I also prefer the butterfly clasp, they are so much easier to work with than a regular pin buckle. It is by far my favorite in my collection currently. My wife bought it for me, I think she got it on sale at Macy's for $650.

I think they bias towards catering to the general consumer. It's frustrating to the enthusiast, but I think they do well overall. The average consumer wants a larger watch, for what it's worth. I didn't quite get it until I was at a Macy's not too long ago. In that setting, 38mm watches in the case seemed like ladies watches. Once they are on your wrist you love it, but I think they don't even catch the eye to the average consumer and they never get tried on. I'm curious what the size of the original lunar pilot prototype was. It's not impossible that was also 45mm.
