It's cool looking but I don't understand how they came to that MSRP. I'm sure it will be discounted but idk if I could stomach paying even $500. As far as I can tell these are made in Hong Kong. Fancy quartz movement but still a quartz movement at the end of the day.

Would anyone know whether the Bulova - 97D120 bracelet has pin and collar bracelet pins or are they split pins? Appreciate it if anyone can help me out. I won't tackle resizing a bracelet with pin and collar due to lack of sensation in my hands. Otherwise I love to tinker with my watches myself.

Actual question. 96b444 - I see eBay listings for it but it's nowhere to be found on Bulova's site or most AD's. For a different market, or a fake that doesn't actually exist? Kinda like it's monochrome look and no worries about plating wearing off. Would be unfortunate if it's not real or available.

Really like Bulova’s reissues , there was a time when all I saw at department stores as a kid was tacky , corny, diamond studded Bulova’s with cheap quartz mvmt’s but since I got into watches 8-9 years ago I’ve grabbed some of their gems, obviously the Lunar Pilot and the Orange Devil Diver but I’ve always liked the 70’s Super Seville Day/Date after seeing examples of it online in perfect shape. I’d definitely grab this reissue. The 262 khz movement just makes it a great daily. The other reasonably budget friendly is the Longines VHP quartz movement. Well done Bulova , Thanks RR I took a long break from my watch addiction but back watching again.

Valid opinion. For me personally, I don’t really care. I do my own battery changes, and they are easy and cheap enough to do. Solar is kinda cool cause you don’t have to touch the case back for a lot longer (capacitors and rechargeable batteries will fail, but hopefully not for a number of years), so hopefully water resistance is preserved longer. Then again, if you do your own battery changes it’s pretty cheap and easy to swap out the case back gasket. So for me, not that big of a deal.
