          Wow that's a really nice watch. ilikeit!

        • Think I'll have to go for the 96B129 Precisionist, and pay the extra.

          US$232.00 on Amazon with free shipping.

          It's exactly what I'm looking for.

        • @edwardcr: Have a look on Amazon at some of their other offerings too:
          The 'Surveyor' Accutron II 96B214 and 96B213
          'Lobster' Bulova Accutron II - 96B210, 96B232, 96B208
          Accutron II Snorkel 96B236

          Also, definitely check out CamelCamelCamel for historical pricing.

        • @ilikeit:

          Thanks for those suggestions - the Surveyor models look good!

  • Got excited. Saw Bulova and Moon and jumped to the conclusion that it was this: 96B251
    Still a great deal. Thanks, Nerd.

    • That flat out looks like a Speedmaster man on the f'kin' moon.

    The last time I ordered a Bulova watch from Amazon that was posted on here. It turned out to be a fake. I can't risk it again.

    • +6

      Fake items aren't allowed to be posted on Ozbargain. If you think this is a fake, please report it to the mods and let them deal with it, cheers.

    • +1

      Was it direct from amazon or other sellers from amazon?

    • Bulova supposed to be an expensive watch that’s is worth more than this

      • +1

        Sometimes you get a good deal, just how you get a good deal on other expensive items. There was similar deal a while ago at around this price for another watch too, but that is rare.

      • +5

        Bulova isn't an expensive watch brand. They are good quality at an affordable price and are regularly discounted on Amazon. They do make a Swiss automatic line called Accu-swiss that features Swiss chronograph movements like ETA 7750 at prices much lesser than the usual Swiss luxury brands. Lately, their Precisionist quartz movements have been very popular because they have a sweeping seconds hands, which is actually faster than an auto, as opposed to the unloved tick, tick of normal quartz watches.

        Bulova does not have cheap reps made in China - they just aren't desirable enough and already cheap.

        • @bargainparker: Pretty new that Curve on the homepage. I like it, wouldn't buy it though. The quartz models will always be cheaper. I don't mind their Surveyor model. Their Lunar Pilot model is quite popular and is a modern re-issue of a Bulova that actually went to the Moon. Very Speedmaster-ish

        • @ilikeit: looked up the lunar watch and now I am interested in that, looks to be $US 487 on Amazon, does that normally go on sale?

        • +2

          @obiwan: The Lunar watch is a fantastic watch an has been a hit for Bulova. They do often go on sale, so patience is the name of the game. The Limited Edition black out looks great IMO. Just be aware that the SS bracelet does not fit on the leather version due to the lug holes being in different positions. So if you buy the leather version, you can't upgrade to the bracelet. Resale for all versions is decent. This watch is actually a reissue of a Bulova that went to the Moon, not a shady copy of the Speedmaster.

      Fake Bulovas doesn't exist - no demand since they are cheap and not desirable enough to rep.

      I would curiously love to be proved wrong though.

  • Just wondering since warranty is not by Bulova, but Amazon's Asurion 2 year warranty, how that goes. Bulova website says: Your Bulova watch is covered by our 3-Year Global Warranty.

    • +1

      Most of the time you'll notice the issues straight out of the box, in which case Amazon will initiate a return. Amazon has the best customer service I know.

      • THE best. Once got a better deal than what I originally bought and the best part is I wasn't entitled to it :)

  • +1

    Ripper watch, good price.

  • I love mu Bulova precisionist watches… 96b175 and 96b 183.

    • That 96b175 certain has some wrist presence.

  • Its a pity they discontinued the tuning fork logo on all except the Accutrons Edit: Just realized this is an Accutron II and should have the tuning fork logo, why is it missing? http://blog.princetonwatches.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/…

    • I like the look of the tuning fork at 12 personally. Some of their lower-end quartz watches can look a bit 'fashion' without it.

      Banged my head in anger when my wife bought a dw for almost 60% of what i paid for my bulova.

      • Oh dear, I do believe the lady may benefit from joining OzBargain.

  • Got Mine today adore the look of it except for one thing it's dead don't know if the battery is a flat or the watch is a goner dam it I need to ship it to the US. I was really looking forward to this watch.

    • I remember reading somewhere on Watchuseek that the same thing happened to a member over there. It was a dead battery, which you think they would check before posting it. He replaced it himself.

      These must be old stock, hence the cheap price, but I would still contact them and complain to see what they say.
      They shouldn't be sending them out if the battery is dead. Amazon are very good at dealing with any problems.

      • +1

        Thanks for the comment watchnerd. I replaced the battery myself and am really happy with my purchase :-)

  • I have small wrists.

    Are those links without pins removable?
