First off, I'm very pleased with this watch.  I don't usually buy too many obviously asymmetrical watches but this one was just too sleek to pass up.  The only one of my many criteria it didn't meet was that I normally get watches with black (e.g. PVD or AT) steel 'bracelets'. In this case I was glad to diverge on that point because I also got two other bands to change up for this watch.

Note, the MSRP for this watch is $425 USD... That is to say, if you bought it at a jewellery store you might not get much better pricing, especially after taxes. I include that detail so you can decide how much you are willing to pay... I got mine for about $140 CAD total, after shipping and import/customs fees.  I like to think I'm a bargain hunter.

Some popular sites/shops (one of which begins with Joma) usually offers watches at attractive discounts such as 45% off the MSRP.  So this one would be about $235 USD plus applicable taxes and shipping.

For this watch, the textured dial and crisp brushed and polished sub-dials as well as clean edges really do their part in making this watch stand out.  I also always seem to enjoy the tachometer numbers, red accents and - even more specific to this watch - perfectly proportional crown and pushers. Take notice that if you are only interested in very large watches, this one is not especially huge.  This can be gleaned (even on the internet with enlarged photos) by researching the 'Case Diameter' and 'Case Thickness' specifications.

While this is a sporty chronometer watch, the luminous hands are very classy looking in their shape and presentation thus making it seem appropriate for slightly dressier occasions as well.  As a note here, the luminosity in the dark is exceptional. Immediately prior to noticing this in low-light conditions, I wasn't even in the sun or anywhere particularly bright.

One aspect I am pleasantly surprised by is the slim white framework of the hour and minute hands, encompassing the luminous innards of the hands.  I don't have any other watches with this and it looks great.  The tail ends of these hands are thin flat polished chrome which I'm quite happy with.

I can't really comment on the silicone rubber strap since I'm not currently using it except to say for future use, I'm glad it has a black clasp/buckle.  It does stand out enough that it's among my top non-steel bands.

This is at least my 10th Bulova watch out of the various collections (such as Accutron, Precisionist, Millennia, etc...) To me, this is one of the more valuable and crisp all-around watches in the Marine Star line.
