I wish they would make this with yellow gold for accents instead of rose gold, otherwise super nice watch!
Some time ago I sent a 47 year old Bulova Marine Star in for repairs. It was promptly returned with the explanation that there were no parts available to repair it. Along with it was a discount coupon for a new watch. So...I bought myself a gift! Lucky me! As soon as the watch arrived (within a few days) and I took it out of the box, my wife exclaimed "THAT is a manly watch!!" It is! It is a beautiful timepiece with weight, heft and muscle, wrapped in an artistically trimmed, dark and serious looking package. The jeweled numbers and rose gold trim accentuate the virility of this watch and complement the man who wears it. And oh, yes, it is an amazingly accurate timepiece as well! I didn't know what to expect from the photos on the website - one never does - but I am very well pleased with my purchase. I highly recommend Bullova and this model in particular; you should know I have 3 Bulovas, the first was a Christmas gift from my wife on our first Christmas, 54 years ago. All of them still work!
Positives: This watch is gorgeous. Absolutely stunning in every way. Uniquely different without being horribly gaudy. And being a Precisionist movement, you get that wonderful smooth sweep seconds hand and amazing timekeeping accuracy. Negatives: It's big, and it's heavy. I rarely wear it in the winter as it acts like a heat sink for my entire forearm causing me to freeze from my fingertips to my elbow. The lume on the hands is downright pathetic and mineral glass is a shame for a watch at this price point. And that stamped clasp is cheap and weak compared to watches at 1/3 of the price that have solid milled clasps. Overall though, it's still a great watch. Just be aware of what you're getting before ordering. I was and am willing to deal with the down side. But there's really no excuse for such poor quality lume at this price point in this day and age.
Really loving my new ICON. It's everything as displayed on website.
