BULOVA

I have been waiting for this Timepiece since I 1st read about it in Watch Time Magazine back in July! They said it was going to be out mid year so I asked every contact in the jewelry world to call me as soon as they arrived. On the 5th of November I recieved a call from a local jeweler who told me they were finally in so myself & my good friend watchdaddy1 went to check them out. I was impressed right away with the sweeping second hand in a Quartz watch & the accuracy loosing only 10 seconds a year compared to the average Quartz that looses 10 to 15 seconds a month! They had several models but the one I saw in the Magazine was the one I wanted and that was listed at $599.99! I was on a hunt and found the one I wanted at JC Penny's for $599.99 with 25% plus 30% discount bringing the total out the door price to $344.50!

The stats on this bad boy are 45.5mm, 18mm thick, 250 grams, 300 meters WR with a Divers extention on the bracelet. The dial is Carbon Fiber with Jeweling surrounding the CF, with date @ 3 O'Clock. I picked it up on Friday 11/12/10 and took it home & set the time to my Atomic Clock, today the 18th it is still tick for tick accurate! Needless to say I am pretty pleased with my latest addition to my meager collection & it will get plenty of wrist time! I hope you enjoy the following pictures!!..........Bob

cool that you got a good deal on it! nice looking watch.
I think Alan was going to buy this a couple months ago.

enjoy wearing it.

Very cool Warrior!

I did a YOUTUBE review on it about a month ago...

Great pics and I hope you enjoy it!

sweet watch and deal!!!!

NICE!! I see one of these in my future.....I need to try on a few different ones to which one I like best. Yours is a beast.....I love the look, wish it was a tad smaller for me. Figgin' awesome watch.....

Wowee Warriorider ! ..Looks like you definitely have yourself a
WINNER here ! ..Sounds like you did a remarkable job tracking this one
down as well. That price at JCP is astonishingly good ! Yowza !!! I think
this watch is so GREAT that it is making alot of people look at Bulova
even more now. Congratulations on this one !!! ..Must have been cool
having WD help in the search by the way. Great stuff there ! ..Speaking
of great. how about that sweeping second hand ?! Woohoo ! That just
ROCKS ! The manner in which it glides across that dial is something
to see. Even seems smoother than an automatic from what I have seen.
..What's just as impressive about your watch though, is the entire look
to tell you the truth. It might have a interesting movement, but it also
has an interesting look to back it all up. That dial with the various colors,
along with multiple windows on the outer edge is OUTSTANDING. The way
in which the white in the windows shows up against the dark blue is simply
THE BEST imho. Also liking the rest of the texturing on that blue dial as
well, along with the second hand, date window, markings, and Bulova
tuning fork logo. ..It all makes for a style that seems extremely high
end. Bulova evidently wanted to really make an impression, and show what
they could do, and I think they thought of everything with this watch.
Between the movement, the various texturing, carbon fiber, and windows.
This watch does it ALL ! ..Bulova even managed to add in an especially
NICE bezel. The look of those hash marks, along with the bezel screws
is extraordinary. Same goes for the unique knurling on the sides of the
case. Holy COW that's AWESOME ! ..Noticing a real curve in that crystal
also, which is just another extra cool aspect of an already ASTONISHINGLY
cool watch. ..However, from what you are saying this watch doesn't
just look good on the outside. It sounds like the size, weight, water resistance,
along with that diver's extension on the bracelet back everything up with
some real substance. So it looks GREAT, but actually is GREAT all the way
around ! ..You have a ULTRA cool movement, surrounded by an equally as
nice watch. I mean how about that bracelet for instance ?! ..Looks really
intricate, but also seems indestructible as well. Also think those lines, or
dash marks on it manage to set it apart from many other bracelets, which
is another impressive aspect about your watch ! ..That's got to be the
theme here..It's IMPRESSIVE ! From the movement, to the looks, and
quality. Congrats on finding this one Warriorrider ! ..Keep enjoying it !!!

Super watch ! ..SUPER pics !!!

congrats on a great looking watch!! 250 grams wow! enjoy it. steve

Thanks for all the kind words Everyone, I'm glad you enjoyed my latest acquisition! I will try to keep you posted as to its accuracy but I just arrived home & it is still tick for tick with the Atomic Clock.

When I got this at JC Penny's they had their regular 25% discount plus a scratch card from 10 to 30%, I got the 30% (which I believe everyone gets) bringing it down to $344.50 including tax.
I have a friend who is the Manager of the Fine Jewelry & Watch dept. & he told me that Black Friday they are having a very similiar sale. So if anyone is interested in this watch or any of the others that Pennys offers those prices are going to be hard to beat!! FYI if the one you want isn't in stock they will honor the same price if it needs to be ordered & I was told the waiting time is only about 1 week. This whole week you can get the price of Black Friday but you can't pick it up until Blk.Fri.
So once again Thx. for all the input & I will give you updates on the accuracy out in the real world with temperature changes, daily wear while riding a Motorcycle etc........Bob

Very cool warriorrider! I'll have to stop in the local JCP and check these out. I'm considering a new quartz for my collection.

I promise you won't be sorry adding this to your collection! I just checked it today & it has lost a quarter of a second in 11 days meaning maybe 1 full second a month keeping pace with Bulova's statement of 10 to 15 seconds a year!
