It's back on sale again. I bought it at this price and IMO it's worth every cent. The 262KHz quartz movement really is super-accurate, I haven't had to adjust the time once since I received mine. Yes, it measures up as a large watch but it wears a lot smaller than the specs suggest.

Shameless copy & paste from a previous post:

  • RRP $1,399.00
  • Sapphire Glass
  • 43.5mm case diameter
  • 12.5mm case thickness
  • 20mm lug width/strap size
  • 50mm lug to lug

    At over 43mm why is this called mini? Looks yuge on my limp wrist

      Agreed, it's a bit of a misnomer, but it really doesn't feel big on the wrist.

      Just don’t put it anywhere else limp or it might look even yuger.

    Just be aware that the second hand is not used for regular timekeeping, it's only for the chronograph. There's a timekeeping second hand in the bottom-most sub dial. A lot of the Bulova 262KHz movement watches do this, which in my opinion entirely defeats the purpose of buying a watch with a 262KHz movement that has a silky smooth second hand sweep like an automatic watch.

      Most chronos do this.

        Japanese chronos don't. It's mainly some Swiss brands (like Tissot) and Bulova who still insist on this old-fashioned hand arrangement and even then, it's not standard across all of their watch lines (as mentioned below) but only found on some specific lines.

        I don't know anyone who actually prefers having a primary second hand that doesn't move and having a tiny little sub dial counting seconds.

      The Precisionist chronos are the ones that have a mode that uses the second hand for timekeeping. They should have put it on all of them.

      Why I bought a Bulova Jetstar.

      It’s probably due to the fact this is an homage to the original Bulova worn on the moon, which was also a chronograph of the old school style. They’re aiming more for historical accuracy it seems. Like matictac said, if you want a sweeping second hand then get a Pecisionist or a Jetstar.

      Edit: You’re in luck, there’s a couple in the weekend sale!
