Looking to purchase a home within the next month here in Florida so I was hesitant on spending extra money for something I really don't need but once I seen the exquisite simplicity and elegance wrapped in a masterful display of human engineering at its finest on full display was all I needed to see...the best part of the watch is actually flipping the watch over to see the marvelous craftsmanship through the glass back... I will always consider this a special piece that was the highlight of my father's day. This is my first Bulova and after the new home is in the rear view mirror I will be starting a collection for sure... a watch worth passing on down to my son when the time is right.
