This watch looks and feels great. It's very well built, all stainless-steel (some parts polished, others just brushed metal) in a beautiful composition. The clasp is very secure yet easy to use. It has a Boluva logo imprinted and the watch really feels secure when it's closed. The weight is perfect, not being too light (I don't like light watches, they seem cheap) but also not hard for an all-day use. It gives you just the perfect balance.

Inside the case the details are amazing! The back is black, but not solid black - it has a beatiful texture. A lot of detais inside are made of metal, like Bulova's logo, the outside part of the pointers and the outlines of the subdials and date displays. These itens shine a lot, what drives everyone's attention to it. By the way, the 8 diamonds just shine great, even better with sunlight, when the light reflected gets a multicolor aspect.

I think it was a great deal, because here in Brazil Bulova's regular watches costs over U$1,000.00, and the Marine Star Diamond isn't even available here. So, when I show up with a Bulova with diamonds there are a lot of "wows".

If you want a sophisticated watch, that can be discreet but also can't be ignored, that's the one!

I bought this watch on special sale on Amazon for only $$149....a steal for this watch. When I looked 1 day after ordering, it was already $254. This is very beautiful watch..pictures can;t do justice.

The weight is good...not too heavy. The dial size is very decent..not big for my average size wrist..overall looks killer on wrist.

I'd recommend this watch strongly.

To start off with this watch is very nice once you open the box. One thing you will realize is that size of the dial is smaller then expected. Plus the dial part already has a few light scratches on it just from one wear. Overall, besides these two issues the watches is great and people really do notice it when you wear it. Looks like a $1k+ watch. The diamonds are not that big and the silver part under it does most of the shining.

Weight is nice not too heavy and not light by any means. Feels solid. Keeps time perfectly as you would expect from a watch like this. If you can buy this watch for $210 right now thats a steal given it MSRP's for $525 which I know regular store fronts ask MSRP. Given I was between a Citizen and the Bulova I'm glad I bought the Bulova since it is a lot more classier and seems better built.

All in all its a great watch and look forward to my next Bulova to add to the collection.

This is a beautiful watch that your friends will envy and think you spent too much on. Not overly flashy but still very professional. Sits nicely on the wrist with a comfortable band.

I bought this watch for my husband after he saw it at the mall for much much more $$$ then we really wanted to spend. I decided to search the web and found that Amazon had the best price around. He LOVES this watch and the price!

I have been very disappointed with the performance of this watch. I have had the piece for 3 years and it has broken as many time. The latest problem is two of the rings for the chronograph dials have come loose from the face and tangled the arms. I think you can do much better for the price, I won't be buying a Bulova time piece again.

This is the famous 96d watch - The diamonds do it for me although the watch is utterly reliable. Lune is mediocre though.
Watch is a "homage " to Rolex brand! at a fraction of price.

This watch was an excellent buy and great quality. I have looked around for similar watches and none compared in price a watch of this quality. I would definitely recommend...it was a Christmas gift for my husband and he loved it!

I have had this watch for over two years now and I have not taken it off. Never missed a beat! I will be a bulova customer for life. Little beat up but still very sharp lookin, no need to look further if you want reliable time piece for a fair price.

Nice watch. Too bad the chronograph on the one I ordered broke after 5 1/2 weeks (with just normal wear/use). Not recommended for those who want a watch that works.
