New Watch Day
Yes, another one! I've been on the edge of pulling the trigger on this one since they released it. I like all three versions, but I think this is my favorite, and I like having the bracelet and strap, and they both have quick release pins, unlike my nearly 9x as expensive Grand Seiko SBGA493. It still pisses me off that GS gave us both a nice bracelet and a unique kimono silk strap, but gave us no way to easily swap them.
My plan for this watch, at least when it's on the bracelet, is for it to be a bit of a beater watch, although I hate that term. Maybe instead a day-to-day that I can wear when I'm going to get sweaty, like on my 8 to 9-mile walk I'm going to do tomorrow.
One interesting thing about the strap: It's seriously long, like way longer than any other strap I own, OEM or third party. Thankfully, it does fit my 18cm wrist.
Watch nut (obviously), cycling nut, walking and hiking nut, science nut (B.S. and M.S. degrees in physics), hi-fi nut, music nut, car nut, computer nut (have worked in IT since 1993), video game nut (...
Great looking watch. I really like how Bulova included both straps and the presentation case.
