    I think Bulova is smart to use it's back catalog as inspiration. Wish they would stick with the 9015 on mechanicals.

    Saw this in a market for £100 and picked it up as it was fun and really appealed to me.
    Decided to do research subsequently, glad I found your video on it.

    This watch looks so fun and is an eye catcher. Wow. It takes me back in time. How the heck am I going to hide this purchase from my wife. She thinks my 7 watches are enough. Mmmm. Let me think.

      I have just know it, and fell in love with it. It took me only 5 minutes to decide to get mine on Amazon. Just waiting for February 22 to have mine in my hands here in Chile. This will be my 7th watch, and my first Bulova. All the others are Seiko.

    I totally agree with what you say here Teddy! I've had this one for a couple of months and love how different/cool it is for casual situations. The only downside for me was the strap, but on a brown leather one it looks amazing! Love your content and the level of effort and attention you give to so many watches!

    Really just a fun piece! Agreed that quartz is the way to go for more enjoyment of this style (value proposition), unless you are the type of collector that goes for this style at any price and really tries to keep to mechanical/automatic movements.

    Bulova never quite gives you it all, and when they do they charge you too much for it. That being said, this is actually a real cool piece. I do like how they keep their heritage front and center. It's got sapphire and 200m water resistance, too, which is a *real* *short* list from Bulova, lol. It's "just" a Miyota underneath, accurate and reliable but not worth retail IMO. Imagine this model with their precisionist movement!

    I'm a collector. I have several vintage Bulovas and some modern. One reissue I have is the first "compressor" type dual crown snorkel which while I would have changed several things, primarily the size, but I think a beautiful watch. Especially with a good shark mesh bracelet. I'm going to pick this one up in this color. Your photography sold me. The macro shots make it like like Bulova put a lot of thought into the dial and indices, and it really looks nicely put together especially at the current price range 👌

    I think it's a properly cool watch but I'd have really like to have seen a mechanical version. The quartz is cool and all but mechanical would be cooler. Probably not as reliable though. The aesthetic is awesome though, definitely a fan of it.
