I have owned it for four months. Vintage look without the need to handle with care. Cycling, kayaking, building a deck, this watch has seen it and has gone without a scratch. I have found a steel mesh bracelet for it, and would like to see one offered by Bulova.
I bought this watch 2 months ago, great quality , nice to wear, love the case and looks, would love if instructions and history pamphlets would come in the box, and also if Bulova would make silicone bands for it . Luminous hands and markers aren’t that bright at dark but it’s a great watch for the price Bulova please bring back more Army and Navy inspire watches thank you
It was a birthday gift for my husband and he loved it
I love this watch. Real heritage/history for under $1000. The LE version has "Swiss Made" on the dial, but the original didn't because the movement was made in the US! So arguably, the SE version is more true to the original. The 16mm strap may seem small but once you get used to it, it really looks quite nice and more like 18mm. The narrow lugs really compliment the case design, IMHO. The movement, the 82SO Miyota is basic and unrefined, but totally functional and reliable. I wish Bulova dipped into their margins and put a better movement in there, but that's not enough for me not recommend this watch. My dream version of this watch would have a hand-wind movement in it, just like the original.
