Keep it . If it was black coated stainless , it would look a right mess in know time . If they had made it in ceramic it would be too costly , unless they made it cheaper out of plastic resin 🤔 . You never know if they get more established within the industry , you may have more case materials options 🤔 . As it stands be happy with the watch and the great silicon wanderlust strap 🤣🤣🤣

Hello from France🇨🇵. When I saw this watch, I loved its look. It reminds me of the Seiko Uemura/Willard. I have a Spb153 and a Steeldive 1970, I ordered the black dial version on a bracelet. I can't wait to compare the three. Thank you for this video which confirms me in this purchase choice. Best wishes.👋

Can you tell me if this watch still use traditional spring bar (two tiny spring on each end) to hold the strap? If you compare this with Panerai, the later uses more secure way to hold the strap in place because they don't use "Spring" bars, instead, they use a special mechanism to attach the strap and the watch body together.
@MikeyTown136 күн бұрын
Yes, this uses spring bars. Pretty sure that Panerai is the only company using strap screws/tubes regularly.

Uh... How does a $123 watch workout to be $100?? Also I think it's disingenuous and spurious to put the word divers or diver on a wristwatch which normally denotes that it's up to ISO standards... Which I'm sure this watch is not.

When I bought it, it was $103… I don’t control when or how prices change. Interesting point on the “Divers” on the dial. I wonder how many other watches have that when they aren’t ISO tested.

Damn, I'm happy with the blue one, but if the revisionned red was available when I bought, I'd probably go for that one instead. Worth noting: the datewheel isn't really misaligned. It's the date setting with the crown that's really imprecise (the normal date change takes 1+hour, it's wiiiiide, instead of clicking precisely). Mine does the same, but once it goes past midnight by itself, the date stops right at the center of the window.

Amazing video thank you for this. But I am sorry the aftermarket velcro strap looks super cheap.... the nylon so thin, rought sides, even the Moonswatch colab has higher quality velcro strap. I understand back then it was like that also, but personally I would be iritated due to this. But this is me. And main thing is that you like it, and I wish I will have Bulova Lunar Pilot in my collection one day :)
@MikeyTown138 күн бұрын
I get what you’re saying… but you don’t order this item if you’re looking for a nicely finished watch strap. The watch came with 2 of those. You order a strap from a company called Luna Replicas because you want a faithful recreation of what the Astronauts wore. It’s not nearly as nice. But it is more fun! BTW… the nylon is so thin and rough because it’s just a strip of Velcro. Every ounce counts when you’re going to space. 😉

I'm with you and actually prefer the date at four-thirty - unframed and color-matched! It's worth noting that putting Bulova's "official" stainless bracelet on the strap version of the Lunar Pilot is not possible. Fortunately, Marc at Long Island Watch created one that, unlike Bulova's, matches the bead-blasted finish of the watch head. I've had my eye on this Lunar Pilot watch (feels like) forever. Almost got it for my birthday last year, but at the last minute moved to a Bulova Precisionist (Archive series) so that I could enjoy that extra-smooth, 16-beat second hand sweep all the time. Plus, it times down to 1/1000 second. Don't know how useful that is with human reaction time, but it's a conversation starter! The Precisionist is an enormous watch and you need a big wrist for it; it fits great on my behemoth 8.25" wrist. And it's heavy - it can double as a bludgeoning weapon. 🤣 My next birthday is coming up in a few months; I might just get the Lunar Pilot after all. Birthdays and holidays are the primary sources to feed my watch addiction. I just don't have the money to throw at every new watch that I want to add to the collection.

@@MikeyTown13Agreed. I really would like a Seiko Tuna SBBN031, but I don't have the requisite $1,000+ to spend on it. I picked up an Addiesdive homage around Black Friday on AliExpress for $57, delivered (7 calendar days). I get to experience that Tuna at ~1/20 the price. And it's accurate, within +5 seconds per day.. I've been tempted by some of the Berny watches. I might have to give in to temptation!
@NoNonsense31613 күн бұрын
AliExpress is great for trying stuff out. I picked up an homage of the Seiko SBBN031 (Tuna) for under $60, delivered. It looks and feels like the Seiko and has a Seiko movement (NH35) that keeps really good time. It varries a bit day-to-day, but always falls in the +2 to +5 seconds per day range, which is within COSC Chronometer territory. Oh, and it has killer lume that goes toe-to-toe with my actual Seiko SNJ025 (Arnie). This watch scratched the itch rather nicely and I may never upgrade to the actual Seiko. Besides, I'd rather save up for my grail - Omega Speedmaster Professional, Sapphire Sandwich.
