If you like the watch, it seems like a great deal. That's way, way cheaper than even grey market.

I think the movement is basically the same as a Valjoux 7750, just larger. Sapphire crystal, signed caseback, signed crown. All good things.

It's huge though, 48mm. And it has a low beat rate, so with that size, I think the sweeping hand might look pretty choppy.

Not for me, but for another person this could be a fantastic deal.

I do like smooth, my latest acquisition just came in and for the price she is very sweet

 
But still no where near as smooth as my baby

Personally, I would never own one, but if you like it, that is all that matters.

Why not? I love calculator watches. But id like to hear your opinion against it.
 
Edit: just wanted to point out i did not take any offense. in case that was not clear, sometimes its hard to tell over the internet, hehe.

Hah! Fair enough
 
What kind of watches do you like? Do you have a special kind of watch you wear with a suit for example?

Hi guys,
 
I wanted to ask whether anyone owns a Bulova Moonwatch. It caught my eye as an addition to my Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch.
 
I have pretty small wrist but occasionally wear a 51x51mm Garmin Fenix 3 so I thought the Bulova would not be too big.
 
What do you think of the watch? I have several mechanical watches and the Garmin for sports/ holidays. Do you think I will enjoy that UHF movement?

I haven't worn a suit or tie since I retired. I have nearly fifty watches, most of which I have posted in this thread. I wear what I want, when I want. 
 
Retirement is great. Work is highly overrated.
 
This is what I'm wearing today.

Had it, sold it...
It's actually a VERY VERY nice watch, with an excellent readable dial, the best pushers I've had and felt on a chrono and it's definitely well made. But the SHAPE of the case I wasn't a fan of. Not sure, it was just weird. It sat weird on my wrist and LOOKED weird to me so I got rid of it. But not because it was a bad watch, just preference I guess. If you get it at a decent price, GO FOR IT!
I bought mine for less than $300 and sold it for a similar price, so it seems people do like it a lot.

Yet another great looking timepiece Mr. Rick, I was just about to tell the YounGain he could just peruse this thread and see some of that fine collection

 
@Gainastyle Mr. Rick is right in the fact if you enjoy it wear it

I could never wear one like yours because my fingers are the size of a Bratwurst

Guess I could carry a stylus for it but then it's just keeping up with more stuff and like Mr. Rick I'm over 60 myself, full size keyboards are a struggle for me!

Enjoying my NTH today.
One of my 40mms I like a lot (usually wear bigger 42-47mm).

Thanks!
 
I will be receiving the watch this week and will try to decide if  Iwant to keep it or not before the return window closes. I'm just a bit concerned about the size.

I didn't even think of that... but how long before that well runs dry and the cost for a basic 2892 exceeds it's value?

What are the alternatives? Sellita... a Chinese clone with a factory in Switzerland? No thanks. I passed on some Tag heritage models I actually kind of liked (don't judge me) because they used Sellita movements. 

At least Breitling is starting to produce more watches with their in-house movements. I guess technically ETA is an in-house movement for Omega, but they have others as well... In fact, I'd be first in line for a PO or that gorgeous new SM300 if it weren't for the display backs which add too much thickness. Rolex and Tudor of course have always used in-house movements. But I digress... in-house is the way the entry level watch industry going, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. 

Selitta isn't so bad performance-wise, I bought a SW200-1 OEM ebauche recently and the timegrapher performance is really good for what I paid (way less than a gen ETA 2824-2).



Maybe give Selitta another chance
