r/bulova

I love high-accuracy non-mechanical watches and I am intrigued by modern Bulova and Accutron. Both are owned by Citizen.

These two watches have really caught my eye. The Bulova Jet Star has the precisionist movement, while the new Accutron Elevation has what they call a resonator movement. As far as I can tell, they are essentially the same, they both have a vibrating three-prong tuning fork at 262kHz, and both are super high accurate with a sweeping seconds hand.

They are both beautiful, but I am stunned by the new Elevation dial with that honeycomb pattern. It's a lot more expensive though - the Jet Star MSRP is $650 while the Elevation rings up at $1550.

Thoughts on these two watches or the brands in general?

I picked up this Bulova at a thrift shop for around $130. I thought it looked really cool and figured it could match with some stuff I have. Does anybody know what it is and what it is worth retail? The number is worn away on the back so I cannot look it up and cannot find anything. All I could find was the Pepsi metal watches but nothing with this elastic band

Have a nice Sunday yall

Found this locally and couldn't let it pass. N2 code Accutron in pretty nice shape. Sweet sweep. Thinking about changing bracelet for light grey strap with blue stitching or leave it on the bracelet.

Decided to pull the trigger on this Maquina 98A319 saw it for $215 with box and paperwork couldn’t resist. I love the skeleton style.

I'm looking to buy this amazing watch. However, a friend of mine is convinced it's fake. I was wondering if someone could have a little look and tell me if you see any red flags. I know this is from the pre-citizen takeover.

Walked into Kay to look at a Lunar Pilot and my jaw hit the floor when this one was sitting in the case. Go big or go home.

This day in history: 1957 Sputnik, 1988 I’m born, 2026 Bulova joins the collection.

How do I set the moon phase?

All I know is that it is from 1967 and I doubt it is waterproof.

Dial is in great shape and seems to run okay. I’m gonna wear it for a bit and see how it does.
