Great but just short on potential

Great collectible timepiece, even if a little overpriced for what it its. I have it on my desk as a little connection to history around the time I was born. My 3-star rating reflects that I feel it is average - not sub-par but not to the potential quality which would have made it excellent. Back to the clock, it case is very well made. It is metal with a glass crystal and it has substantial heft. The base holder is a different story. It seems to be made of plastic with the lettering on the stick-on plaque in plain, white lettering. The movement also disappoints, being a plastic insert in the back of such beautiful case. Lastly, the operation yields an audible sound from the ticking hand. I really wish it would have been a more accurate replica with a 3-prong quartz and sweeping hand movement (which Bulova seems to offer on another alarm clock model). One more thing to point out is that Bulova offers no information regarding the specifications, movement, etc., regarding this collectible item. Overall, I like this clock and I'm glad I found it, but I feel that Bulova could have done a better job to make this tribute to history truly special - especially at the price it is offered at.
