This Bulova #96R134 is really beautiful in person and can be dressed up or down.  My other watch is a Tag Heuer Aquaracer with a diamond bezel and this Bulova holds its own next to it!  I actually chose the Bulova 96R19 first after seeing it in a department store but being the researcher that I am, I discovered this newer 96R134 model and I liked it more for the slightly larger bezel and shaded gray face, especially for the same price.  The gray in the face does not look as prominent in person as it does in the close up pictures.  It's very subtle and give the watch an slight shimmer look.  I have added pictures of this watch on my 6" wrist (probably smaller than the average ladies' wrist size) and some comparison pictures next to the very popular Bulova 96R19.  For a watch in this price range, you cannot go wrong with this Bulova.  I am very happy with my choice.
