The Automatic is a work of art time piece. Excellent craftsmanship and exceptional beauty. The watch has heft so you can feel that you're wearing it, as well as its transparent design with the glass backing so you can see the internal workings. Bulova is the top of the class!
I love this watch! The look, the feel, the comfort, but the clasp comes undone at random times. I was at a sports venue and the watch literally came undone while I was cheering and flew three rows in the air off my wrist. If not for that, the watch would be perfect.
I really like seeing all the gears working in a watch, so I wanted a skeletonized watch. But all the ones I looked at had cheap looking gear cut outs added and felt really weak. Not the Bulova. The gears all look precisely cut and clean. The watch is a perfect blend of class and industrial. The only draw back is it must be wound up daily, but on the plus side there is no battery to change.
