I have owned it for four months. Vintage look without the need to handle with care. Cycling, kayaking, building a deck, this watch has seen it and has gone without a scratch. I have found a steel mesh bracelet for it, and would like to see one offered by Bulova.
I purchased this watch several months ago and couldn't be happier. The watch is comfortable to wear, and perfect for everyday wear. Although I like the included strap, it would be nice if options were available if you want to change the look. Overall, another great watch from Bulova!
I'd emailed Bulova a year or two ago about going back to its roots with its long relationship with the U.S. armed forces, and they've delivered with this one. On my wrist now, and wears well. Priced a tad high, but I was willing. Just need to unload a couple of others I won't wear now. The strap, while reimagining the original ribbed style, is long for smaller wrists (for use over wetsuits, I'd imagine). I could also do without the stitched leather or synthetic reinforcement around the holes, but it's there for an important reason to add longevity to the life of the strap.
I bought this watch from Zales as soon as it was offered for sale. Looks grate and sits on the wrist perfectly! Perfect watch for Florida ocean living! The bezel function is different and interesting! The only bad thing is that the pamphlet explaining the history of this watch was not in my packaging, I was looking forward to reading that.
