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.
Pondered making purchase but overcame my own resistance and ordered it sized to my wrist. It is SPECTACULAR. I’m a big guy so I have no issue that it’s “too big” as some say. It’s not. As they sized it for me, the removed links were not included so I called customer service and they’re sending links to me, no prob. I absolutely love the heft of it on my wrist & while I bought it for “me,” I know it’ll draw positive attention and will exert a certain status where a lessor watch simply cannot. If you’re on the fence, you deserve to have it man.
