Bulova Lovers. Where Are You?

My favorite: the Lunar Pilot in 43mm.

On top of this, I have the Hack watch as well.

From my perspective, Bulova is definitely a brand to consider.

Have a good Sunday!

Here 🖐🏼 love lunar pulot both colors, a15 Pilot, wilton gmt, devil diver orange, breton, sinatra line, milship, oculus, blueprint and oculus, they have the most unique designs at attainable prices

I'm a Bulova fan. Lots of iconic models (too many to list) and a rich history. There's always something for both vintage and modern collectors. And though now owned by parent company, Citizen, they're still headquartered in NYC.

You too!

Bulova makes some nice watches. The percisionist movement is fascinating if you ask me, as seen in the Jet Stat. And they make a nice affordable true GMT in the Wilton.

Lunar Pilot would be my first.. but, for some reason I am looking at the Aerojet line as my first Bulova. Yes, underrated in my opinion.

I am not a fan of modern Bulova for many reasons.

I love my Lunar Pilot original 45 mm. I can barely pull it off with a 7.25 inch wrist but I do love the look of it.

With unlimited funds I would grab a Jet Star or an Oceanographer GMT, but even with unlimited funds I wouldn't pay full list price. I find their RRPs a bit inflated.

I suppose there's a distinction to be made between vintage and modern Bulova fans. I'm yet to find a good vintage Bulova. I wouldn't buy a modern one, though. Each and every reissue by them has something that's a deal-breaker to me. The ones that don't are priced through the roof for what they are. Their modern designs aren't for me, either - either horrible or just confused.

That said, my hunt for a good vintage Art Deco tank or tonneau by Bulova continues.

I love the Bulova Mil Ship and I bought myself one shortly after its release. They do release some cool watches from time to time!

You are not looking hard enough. But, it may also be where you are.

Their high frequency quartz really is an under-appreciated marvel for the price #precisionist

I do, I have some good ones and is coming some of them soon.

Bulova is a brand I want to love but just struggle to with their modern watches. They remind me very much of Rotary in the UK, amazing vintage watches but everything newer is overpriced, too big for current trends and a bit meh. Both companies would do well to look at their old catalogues and produce some re-issues of some of their classics.

I love my lunar pilot and I'm a huge fan of their precisionist line, the only thing with that is the batteries don't last as long. Which reminds me I have to change the battery on mine.

My Bulova/Accutron Collection.

The lunar pilot

Also this Royal Oak

Looking to add an orange Devil Diver at some point...

I love the devil diver especially in the GMT version. Also the milship is fine.

The OG 45mm Lunar Pilot is my grail. I am not rich by any stretch.

I have an open-heart that I really enjoy, it needs to get some more wrist time....need to get a different strap that's a bit more casual than the croc.

I bought my brother, a diehard ManU fan one of these, which is really awesome

And because of that, I would love to find a 96A229 which shares the case/handset but is a 3 hander rather than the chrono

Sad i dont have any info about this but like it!

Thank you for showing this one. Haven't seen it. Expensive? I hope not.

Every single one is an iconic beauty and for not way too much $$$.

I don't much like square or rectangular watches but this is spectacular. I'm almost in a coma.

Looks better than the actual R. Oak.

Amazing!

I only have one Bulova, the 96A164, Frank Lloyd Wright collection. Not a spec monster (who cares) but absolutely beautiful and distinctive dial and metalwork. Mine was only $135 several years ago. They seem to have disappeared.

Not too long ago, another Watch Cruncher made a pretty good case about Bulova being a serious rival to Seiko. Both can point to innovations, and both make watches from inexpensive quartz to those in the five-figure range.

About $550.

I got a jet star in gold. Love the special edition too as it is much more legible and good colours. However, the retro and quality Look of the gold version just grabs me and won't let go! The strap helps. They are a good size, quality feel. In gold it reflects quite a lot and the hands are not very legible.. especially the seconds hand which is the most impressive one! All known issues to me before purchase . Iam a happy customer all the same.
