I'm a watch Nerd with over 50 watches and this one has quickly become one of my top 5, 'go to' watches. If I lost it I would buy another one. Highly recommended as a practical and understated daily watch. Pros Well made with good brushing and polishing for the price. Crystal clear mineral glass. At this price sapphire crystal tend to be low quality and they do not show off the dial as well as mineral crystal. great luminosity in dark conditions. I have worn the watch overnight and can still read the time as the sun rises. the hands and dial also look cool in any low light situation. Small diameter so fits any wrist. Cheap but reliable Miyota mechanical movement. Mine is running at about -1 second per day (this is within Rolex territory). In general you have a very good chance of landing one that is within +/- 10 seconds a day. It can be much worse, so you could just send it back if you are not satisfied. Single pull on the winder enables the time to be reset (it hacks so second hand stops). Winder movement feels tight and smooth when you change time, or manually wind the watch. Fantastic simple and clear dial that has its own beautify in its simplicity. It oozes fuss-free understated competence. You are buying a watch with a back story (Bulova supplied watches to the American Marines during WW2 and they looked much like this). If you buy the special then you are also supporting ex-service personnel. Strap seems a bit flimsy, but in fact after 2 months I haven't changed it as it is very comfortable and still looks like new. Disappears on the wrist due to its size and comfort. One of the best true field watches around this price (you need to go to a Hamilton Khaki field for a jump in quality (but no necessarily in style or comfort). Matches any style from jeans and tee shirt to more formal clothing. cons Only 50 metres water resistance. some may find the strap a bit flimsy. It is quite a thick watch, but to me its small diameter doesn't make its thickness noticeable when wearing it. The rotor in the movement that winds the watch can be heard when the watch is close to your ears.
