I bought this watch on a cruise. I was immediately attracted to it. But after purchasing and wearing it I’m not so attracted anymore. For a Bulova I expected more. The watch is great. But, whoever designed and approved the band should be fired. It’s horrible to put on. It is difficult to get the band end in the two loops. Please tell me I can get a “Real leather band”. If this is the future of Bulova watches. I’m switching to another brand.
