Well this is my first Bulova. I don't normally like the Bulova line but this one caught my eye and I think it's seriously classy. I took it to the Brick version of the store I bought it from to have the band adjusted. Since I had a $100 off $200 or more coupon the watch cost me $121 (quite a bargain). The band is a bit strange to get use to putting on and taking off but after a few days no problem. I have Movado's ESQ, and others and this Bulova is right up there, I am very happy with this purchase. In fact it's well worth the full price the watch is very nice you won't be disappointed.
