I just received my new Bulova Marine Star Gold faced watch with a silicone strap. The face or watch bezel is both beautiful and easy to read. The Roman style numerals on the face of the watch add a touch of elegance to it. This automatic watch has an open heart which shows both the escapement or balance wheel and mainspring. It has an open or exhibition back so that the wearer can view the movement from both front and back sides of the watch. I happen to know that the movement is a Japanese Myiota movement which is a great and hard working movement. An automatic watch is really a mechanical watch with a rotor attachment which winds the watch while you wear it. The rotor is attached to a small generator which winds the mainspring on the watch with the movement of your wrist during the normal wearing of the watch. Quart watches are a bit more accurate than an automatic watch, but you will never have to replace a watch battery with an automatic watch. In my opinion, the accuracy difference is negligible. The watch came with a 3 year warranty which shows that Bulova backs it's watches!... My wife and I were dating 47 years ago. My first gift to her was a Bulova mechanical watch which is still working perfectly today with limited amount of use. She rotates her wrist watches. My personal experience with Bulova watch has been a great one. Bulova makes a quality watch which will give it's owner years of good service. I am a bit of a watch geek, so I know more about watch features and movements than the average purchaser. I am very pleased with the look of the watch and know that it will serve me well for many years to come. You will not be disappointed with a Bulova watch.
