I purchased this watch because it was on sale and I haven't had a new watch in probably 15 years.  I wanted an automatic because the mechanics fascinate me a bit and you feel like you're handling a really intricate device.

The watch is very attractive without being over the top and flashy.  It just tells time, I'm not landing airplanes with it which I like, just a clean and simple dress watch for work and nights out.

Unlike some other reviewers my watch did come exactly as pictured with the highly skeletal back-plate where you can view all the automatic movements.  It's not a heavy watch but still substantially sized.  It looks and feels much more expensive than what I paid for it.

My one knock on it is the movement is Japan and the band from Hong Kong, I thought Bulova was Swiss with a factory in Queens NY, I must have missed when the movements started being made in Japan.  I'm not sure I would've taken the plunge on a non-Swiss movement, but hopefully I don't regret it.
