I didn't realize Bulova had a movement as smooth as the Spring Drives. I was so fascinated by the movement and couldn't pass it up. It's actually going to replace my SKX007. The watch wears very comfortably. They have newer Precisionist models, but I really liked the way this looked over the current models.

This is similar to the 98B227, but the 227 came with a bracelet and instead of the blue hands on the 226, they are red.

What attracted me to this watch was the Precisionist movement. That sweeping second's hand is mesmerizing and of course the style of the watch, it's gorgeous! This particular model has a Chrono which tracks up to 1/1000th of a second. In case you ever want to get that precise. And if you're not familiar with Bulova already, they along with Grand Seiko, are the only ones that offer a smooth sweeping second's hand and not be an automatic. That's right, this watch is a quartz!! And with a quartz, it's highly accurate.

To be honest, I didn't care for the leather strap. So I opted to replace mine with an Esprit Nato Oyster Bracelet. Esprit is... if not, the only company that makes a 24mm lug width Oyster Bracelet. I think it compliments the watch really well. I've attached a photo.
