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.
Even for a mechanical (automatic) movement, this one is particularly inaccurate, gaining about eight seconds in three or four days, after having been worn or kept on a winder, at all times, and never wound manually.
I bought this watch just before Christmas and wished I had not spent the money on it. Unfortunately, the watch does not keep time. In my particular case, the watch I now own gains between 60 and 120 seconds per day. My disappointment arises from the fact that I will need to return it for service. To confirm this review, the serial number of the watch I now own is 182K02903 mand was purchased through Kay Jewelers in Lake Havasu City, AZ. Don't waste your time with this watch.
