I purchased my Jet Star directly bbbthe crimson red dial and it is amazing! The case and bracelet look and feel cheap. The highly polished parts of the case and bracelet look like fake plastic chrome. Bulova needs to take a page from Seiko and Citizen on their fit, finish and bracelets. I am being generous in rating this watch 2 stars. The only reason for 2 stars are the dial and movement. Everything else is a 1 star rating. Would I buy this watch again? Probably not!
I'm very happy with the look, quality and value of this watch. I enjoy just watching the sweep of the second hand, so clearly I'm a nut. But it makes me happy.
Every aspect of this watch has a consistent theme and is well designed. Enjoying the case size and shape, selected colors, applied indices, sapphire crystal, framed date window, unique and comfortable band, symmetrical butterfly clasp, and of course the Precisionist movement with sweeping seconds hand.
Coolest watch for the money!...love the retro styling but yet very modern at the same time...smooth second hand is awesome...Merlot dial color unique and interesting in a all different lighting...band is also unique and blends perfectly with watch shinny and reflective...very happy with purchase!
