Love the simplicity and execution of the design at a reasonable price. The movement on my particular example is well within spec on wrist. My first watch I can remember wearing as a child was a gift (a silver dial hand-wind Caravelle (by Bulova) and my father wore an Accutron back in the 70’s so it’s nice to have a Bulova back in the collection. The cathedral hands are a nice touch and the lume is surprisingly good on this watch. I swapped the original green nylon strap for a quality brown leather one I already own made by FinWatchStraps (see photo) which I think compliments the watch nicely. Overall I think it’s a great looking and comfortable watch to wear and enjoy.
Classic design watch with cool history. The watch seems dirty and has an amazing look. Got this for a birthday present for my son, and like other reviews note the band is really designed for someone with giant wrists apparently. We have it on the last hole in the band and it's still a bit loose. They really should add another couple adjustment holes.
This is a great watch! I like how the watch is made and the readability of the dial. I'm new to mechanical watches and this seems to be a good entry level watch for someone like myself. It's nice that 10% of the purchase goes towards the Veteran Watchmaker Initiative. The only issue i have was the watch strap was a little big for me, but my wrist is 5.75" so I feel this complaint is me being an exception.
I have not worn this watch enough to write a realistic review, however I was disappointed as it seemed as though the watch I bought was on sale for the week prior to my purchase, it went off of that sale when I purchased my watch and was then back on sale the day after I made my purchase of the watch. Due to this irregularity I could not in good faith recommend having to deal with such irregularities to any of my friends.
