The white/blue panda looks very sharp. Its textured dial is lovely. It is a little bit big on my 7 inch wrist, but totally wearable. A 40-41 mm size will be very good. It stands 13.5 mm and it does not have an external bezel. With the box sapphire glass on top, it looks a lot thicker/chunky then it is. Also the leather(??)/vinyl NATO strap is on the thin side. Feels like will break anytime. The MSRP on this 43 mm is about 2x$$ vs 45 mm that came out a few years back. With the father's day discount, it is still doable. With Citizen's backing, it is a no brainer. 5mm , ,
I own seven Bulovas including five Lunar Pilots. All of them are nice, but I docked this particular watch one star because it doesn't have a date function. I hope Bulova's next version comes in a gold case with a brown leather strap and a date function..
I really like this watch. The white and blue "panda" look is very striking. I'm an automatic movement snob, but I have to admit, I'm loving the absolute accuracy of this watch. I tend to prefer bracelets and I like this one, but I hate butterfly clasps. I like the color of this faux nato strap, but not the strap. I bought a 2 piece blue leather band from bocane to wear with it and love it. If there's one thing I wish they'd change it's the color of the subdial hands, white would be so much easier to see.
Great watch however two weeks into having the watch the 3 o'clock subdial has misaligned itself. Every time I reset the chrono with the 2nd button it won't go back to zero. I've been looking everywhere online to find out how to reset it but I've come up short. This might need to be sent back for maintenance which is fine however you wouldn't expect this inconvenience on a chrono just shy of a thousand dollars.
