We just got back from the Mall where I managed to find and buy a few nice gifts for the Wife for her B/day on Tuesday but of course I HAD to look at the watches! I knew I wouldnt be able to afford one as Macy's is NOT the place to purchase but at least I can look and go on-line and find one cheaper......... I found this........... I WANT IT!  Retails for $550.00 but after looking on the NET I found them as low as $279-$300 BIN Guess I need to part with some of mine to get it! |

A waste of good air space? Don't like it. I like symmetrical.

The thingy at 10:00 is a bezel lock/stopper! |

The thingy at 10:00 is a bezel lock/stopper! That's a pretty unnecessary addition, I'd definitely have to take a pass on that one. |

Did you ever find a way to fix my Dad's Accutron? Just wondering. He never wore it and it had no sentimental value to me so that's why I gave it to you.
Now that old French watch of questionable name is in my watch box with all the non Seikos, It's a keeper.
I'd better got take a picture of it. Maybe someone here knows what it is.

I had a feeling I'd get questioned. LOL
That was many years ago, Rene. Doesn't matter.
The Bulova reminded me.

I couldn't get a good picture of the back but there's not much left on it, anyway.  |

Happy birthday to your missus, Rene.
I also see some bezel stoppers on Ploprof, Helson, and Ocean 7 (The very similar models) which are located 0300 o'clock side. They also look very beautiful, but on the other hand none of my Seikos' bezels rotate accidentally because they are really firm.
What I mean is, are these bezel stoppers / locks really necessary? Only my opinion, of course.
If you like this Bulova, go for it my friend. I am sure you will enjoy it in the best of health . . .

Interesting. Good to see them sticking with the Precisionist. Had not heard anything new in a long time.
I think this model has a lot of potential. The bottle opener at 10:00 might sink it for me, assuming it is sized for a normal human being. Defer until more real life pictures present themselves.

Silly boy; you know that we WIS cannot look at watches in stores without causing extreme stress to our wallets. This even surpasses an alcoholic visiting a liquor store...just to have a look  |
