Purchased this watch 3 months ago. First time in rotation, it lost 20 minutes over the first day. I set it aside for a month, and tried it again as I love its fit feel and appearance. This second time I wore it, I lost 15 Seconds over the first day. Now it has supplanted my seiko 5 as the watch to wear. Love it!
I was casually browsing GMT watches with the idea I might purchase one, and quite randomly came across this gem. I have always liked the field style watches. This one can also work as a GMT watch, and has elapse time ability. Bulova has an excellent reputation and history, and I already have another Bulova which I am very pleased with. All the elements came together making this an obvious choice for my collection. For me this makes the perfect daily wear piece. The only thing I might want to add to this watch is an option for a display case back.
I purchased this watch today from my favorite local jewelry store. The watch is wonderful and beautiful. The upper and lower controls on the stem side of the watch which control the moving parts inside and under the crystal (the Rotating Elapsed Hour and Minute Dial Rings) are fascinating, but in order for the dials to work properly they need to be locked down. So, if you, Bulova, make another edition of this watch, please have the stems for the rotating dials pull out, then adjust the dials, and then push back in to lock the dials in place. They are way too easily moved which will change the elapsed time. Those adjustment stems just need to lock down to prevent the dials from moving once they are set. But otherwise, the watch is beautiful and seems to work wonderfully. I have a number of Bulova watches and Bulova is my favorite watch brand by far. All my recent purchases have been Automatic watches, which I love.
I love this watch, it is really beautiful and I love the dual zone feature
