This is my first Bulova and have to say its a hefty timepiece, great details on the dial face, bezel and essentially, the entire watch. The bracelet is chunky, although detailed with a combination of brushed and polished finishes, with the Bulova logo, however I found it to be a little brash and ungainly. I promptly substituted it with a 24mm NATO strap natostrapco.com and now the watch looks proportional and easier on the wrist.This inner details of the watch face are spectacular; the carbon fiber is industrial, the "engraved" steel ring connecting all the hour markings and the blue/cobalt ring that only reflects when light shines on it. The crystal has a complex curve on it and this is the only watch I have seen that has such a curve on it. The outer ring on the face is raised and has the tachymeter markings as well. The non rotating bezel is polished and has black engraved markings such as diver 60 min markings; the side of the bezel is also textured and 4 hex screws holding everything together. The case is large and tall, with a dual brushed and polished steel finish. The 3 push buttons are polished and the screw down crown has an engraved Bulova logo, it is has an engraved angled gear patten for handling and is protected with crown guards on either side.Now down to the mechanics, in a word its fabulous. The stop watch in motion is absolutely gorgeous to look and the primary driving force behind the purchase of this watch. The smooth motion of the large second's hand is sublime and the added infinity symbol of the precisionist line is a nice touch. The transition from normal mode to the stopwatch function and back again is nice to see as it moves faster to move to the 12 o'clock position to zero the stop watch and then rushes to catch up to the current time once switching back from the stopwatch to the normal mode.Then there are the sub-dials; top most displaying two needle hands measuring 10th and 100th of a second, left one measuring the minutes, the right one measuring the hours and the bottom most the 1000th of a second, while the large second's hand, doing its thing measuring the seconds. The hour and minute's hands are hollow broad sword style hands, with luminous markings on the tips (luminous markings are on each hour marking as well, however that is one downside to this watch, not at all bright and frankly a bit poor, however not a deal breaker for me).This watch is great and a lot going for it, the size may deter a few people, but replacing the bracelet with a leather/Ballistics Nylon or NATO / ZULU strap changes the characteristics of the watch and reduces the acreage it occupies on your wrist. In is a good way, by reducing the BLING factor of this watch, not something that I was going for. It looks more understated and you will blind fewer pilots and thus make the skies a safer place... which is a real public service.SSSSSOOOOOO....UPs are...- Great watch- Awesome movement- Great detail and finishDOWNs are...- Brash bracelet (decided to replace it with a 24mm ballistics nylon NATO from natostrapco.com)- Large / heavy (may apply to individuals with slimmer wrists, but on my 7" wrist looks great once the bracelet was removed)- Luminous markings are not too bright (not a deal breaker at all)

Was casually shopping for another watch to add to collection. Debated on nice Citizen and Tissot watches that I almost purchased but did not. Thankfully found this BEAUTIFUL Bulova! Absolutely beautiful time piece! My new favorite. The brushed and polished stainless steel, large case, crystal and bezel, carbon fiber dial and sweeping second hand dial are absolutely just stunning. The size of the watch is perfect. As masculine a watch as you're going to get without being ridiculously over the top. The weight is perfect as well. Heavy enough to remind you that this is a quality piece. Feels like a gauntlet. This watch commands attention and admiration! People who see it stare at it. Very easy to size the bracelet w/ the correct tools and setting the time was easy using just the crown (unlike certain Citizen pieces). After sizing and setting time, I buffed and polished the case and bracelet and she shined brilliantly. Price was PERFECT and was even able to do Amazon interest free monthly pmt plan. Shipping was a fast 2 DAYS. Purchased Monday and received Wednesday. Didn't have to go anywhere to find my new favorite piece. Amazon is the absolute KING of retail. I've owned the 2-Tone (stainless/yellow gold) Blue Submariner Rolex which I absolutely loved. This Bulova piece is every bit as impressive without the hefty price tag. Plus it's an American brand since 1875.

I owned this model and brand of watch several years ago and it was lost along the way of life. I think it was stolen but if it was they got a great watch. I never got around to replacing it until now when I saw the sale price I thought well now’s the time to replace it. Super glad I did. I own over 40 + watches and have my favorites but by far I like this one the best. In my opinion it’s got style,awesome design and fits my wrist very comfortably. It’s not my most expensive watch nor my cheapest watch but I just love the design and fit. If you like a larger watch this may be for you . There are various choices and colors to choose from in this model and the gold and stainless steel was my favorite but I really like the gun metal and black chrome styles as well. Check em out I think you’ll like this watch too.

This is how it looks on a 19.5 centimeter wrist. Appearance: This watch is elegant, heavy, sporty, and has a construction far superior to the price set by the seller. It kind of feels like a $2,000 - $2,500 watch. It looks really good with a white gold chain. If you like/enjoy attention, this watch is for you. Precision: The watch has not lost a single second since I bought it. Its precision is somewhat shocking. It beats all my watches, which lose or gain onw or two seconds a month. That is to say, the accuracy of this watch is competing with a smartphone. I'm impressed. Size: If you are a fan of sissy watches, this watch is not for you. Personally, I'm not a fan of small watches. Small watches are too "effeminate" for my taste. So, if you have a small wrist, this watch will look like your older brother's watch on your wrist.

This watch is so bold and it shows masculinity. I have purchased another variation but haven't arrive as yet. Plan to purchase another variation down the line as well.I have no problems with itching or any Discoloration. The Bulova Precisionist is Genuine! It carries a lil Weight some will say but I am use to it because of my height.Only modification I have done is to remove a link to suit me!
