This watch has everything I have been looking for in a sport/casual watch including rose gold, roman numerals, chronograph, knock-out looks. I had checked it out at the department store and wasn't real pleased with the rubber watch band for the Las Vegas summer heat. I see others have commented the band also. This problem is easily solved. Order the band on the Bulova Marine Star Model Number 98B103 which is perforated black leather and costs under $[...] including postage directly from the Bulova parts department on the phone [...] and you will have a good quality watch that, as far as appearance goes, can't be beat at any price. Also, the leather band is about 1 1/2 inch shorter and much lighter for the slightly smaller wrist, and has a much nicer buckle with a more deeply engraved Bulova Tuning Fork symbol. The rubber band is huge and quite heavy. To sum it up, you can't go wrong with this Bulova watch.
