    As a watch collector/enthusiast with around 20 watches ranging from invictas to omega and Tags I LOVE my bulovas and just picked up this piece. It actually gets more love than my more expensive or luxury pieces!

    I bought this blue version instead of the Tissot Gentleman. I was on my way to buy the Tissot and just stopped at Birks. Saw the Bolava display. Tried a few on and this one really impressed me. I bought this very excitedly

    i like bulova they are nice for not silly money ,
    i collect watches and always keep an eye on prices ,
    have been looking at this for many months , bought
    today new for £179 which would be close to that in dollars ..
    gold watches seem to be making a come back , am glad about that ,
    everthing goes round in circles ....

    My wrist is 165 cm, I really like it but if it goes beyond my wrist I will change my mind. the diameter is 45mm, but how much does the whole thing make with the case? :)

      Most of watch guys i follow dont like bulova, wanna ask what do you think and do you have some recommendation where should i buy it? Is there a valid site from which i can order cuz where i live it costs 510 euros

      @@nikolavidovic7297 Bulova is a great entry level watch brand, I wouldn't call it a luxury or enthusiast brand and it is typically associated with department store watches which has hurt its reputation amongst collectors. I personally think its a very good brand to start off watch collecting with, Id pick one best watch that I personally like to check mark it off my brand collection list. Jomashop, ashford and several other grey market dealers have great discounts on them.

      ​@piamorada1969 unscrew the crown and you can wind the gears to store the energy. If you aren't wearing it or winding it every day, it will run out of energy and stop working until you wind it again.

    Can some help me I have another bulova watch my wife bought me this piece. I am kind of confused as the watch doesn't keep time so I have to adjust the time every couple of weeks. Is it a battery issue or does it need a new battery.?

    • @theopulentlife889
      @theopulentlife889  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Get the movement checked, with automatics if you wear it daily it shouldn't vary too much, but if its still showing significant variation it might need regulation. This one shown here doesn't use batteries since its automatic

    Hi, I have this watch and daft as this may seem but how do you wind the watch up for the 1st time as I didn’t do this to start with and was wondering why it stopped working after around 4 hours of not wearing it. I have looked into this and discovered it needs to be wound up. I pull the crown out but it doesn’t seem to be any resistance when winding. Any help would be great thanks. Fab video btw

    • @theopulentlife889
      @theopulentlife889  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      You can just wind it without pulling out the crown, a nice shake of the wrist should get it going, however if it continues to stop while you are wearing it or doesn't wind and shows a consistently declining power reserve the movement may need servicing.

      It has a Miyota Japanese movement, Bulova is owned by Citizen so most the of stuff is japanese I'd assume. Perhaps the straps and bracelets are sourced from China but not always.

      No it's not Chinese. It contains a Japanese Miyota 821D automatic movement. If you have something other than that it's probably not genuine.
