Highly recommended. - Fantastic timekeeper for a mechanical watch, great looking and very good value. Totally satisfied. Review: Excellent Retro Watch - Finally got my hands on this Bulova. It doesn't disappoint. It's a typical 'Bulova' remake of one of their past watches. I am a real fan of the Bulova military watches which have undeniable historic heritage. The retro styling and feel is very appealing. I have the Bulova Hack in both Auto and Quartz versions. This joins the stable of Bulova WW2 watches in my collection. Great styling, superb finishing and construction. Mine is running around 5 secs fast a day. I like the quality of the strap and the signature on the buckle is great. The printing on the dial is amazing and the sapphire crystal is a bonus. Lume is adequate- not the best in class but I think I can live with this. Only real criticisms are 1.The lack of screw down crown or stiffer resistance on the outer chapter rings. They do move about a fair bit - but this was the same issue with the original watch when released in late 1944 (?) 2. 30m water resistance, could be 50 or 100m if screw down crowns were employed? Hence.. only 4 stars Puzzled by some reviews saying this watch came with a dead battery...Erm... it's a self-winding AUTOMATIC watch .. there is NO battery powering a electronic movement...it's not a 'Quartz' movement but entirely MECHANICAL... it winds the mainspring using a rotor and your arms movements as you wear it..
