This watch is really a nice looking watch. Honestly it looks and feels more expensive than it is. The smooth sweep of the seconds hand is so nice. The dial looks so nice in the sunlight. I also have the yellow dial version which I also really like. This one on the bracelet is a bit more dressy. My only issue I had was that I asked for the bracelet to be sized and it was sized way too small. The extra links were included so it was not a big deal to add a few back in.
Been wanting this watch for a while and I finally pulled the trigger during Black Friday when Bulova had a sitewide 30% off sale. I absolutely love it. The sunburst burgundy dial that fades to black on the perimeter with the applied indices is such a beauty to look at. And let’s not forget about the smooth as butter sweeping seconds hand from the Precisionist movement inside. Something you can only find in a Spring Drive Grand Seiko that costs at least 10x more. One of my favorite watches in the collection that will be sure to see plenty of wrist time as long as I’m alive to wear it.
This watch is beautiful and one of my preferred after one month ownership. Of course you get the smooth second hand, the magnificent 'burgundi' dial, and the precision. That is how it is advertised after all! A few notes. Battery for the movement is not mentioned in the user manual (it is a CR2016 which is about the diameter of the '8102' caliber). The sapphire has no anti-reflection coating whatsoever and this can give an hazy look (Ok it is a Jetstar hommage after all). Precision was not great the first week and I was concerned. However it has settled to -1.5s for the entire first operation month, and now it seems it will be even better and super stable (not sure why)...
