Bulova Jet Star Hi-Beat Quartz: 96B415 $369, 96B401 $399 [OOS], 96K112 $499 Delivered @ Starbuy

300

A whole flight of Bulova Jet Stars are on offer this weekend at Starbuy. (No, not that JetStar…these keep better time.)

These offer one of the smoothest second hands around with the 262KHz quartz movement powering it. Three colourways at different price points are on offer, I personally have the red and think it's the nicest:

Black dial, gold hands & indexes $369 - https://starbuy.com.au/bulova-jet-star-mens-watch-96b415/
[OOS] Red dial, red & white hands, black & gold indexes $399 - https://starbuy.com.au/bulova-jet-star-mens-watch-96b401/
Limited Edition silver dial, red & blue hands & indexes + extra leather strap $499 - https://starbuy.com.au/bulova-jet-star-limited-edition-mens-…

Remember, Friday's StarDeal is good till next Monday 10:00am or until sold out. Also, stock on the web page only shows what's in their showroom, if any fall to zero it's worth sending an email in case they still have stock in the warehouse.

  • Case Diameter: 40mm
  • Case Thickness: 11.5mm
  • Case Material: Stainless Steel
  • Glass: Sapphire
  • Strap: Stainless Steel Bracelet

    With the Red/Blue Limited edition, you'll get one bracelet and one red/blue leather strap and can easily swap them around as they are equipped with quick release system. It is one of my dailies and been very happy with it. Highly recommended.

      That's the pick of them.
      Otherwise I got the silver with black leather strap for $299

      Oh, that's cool. I admit I didn't click through the link on it. I'll update the post accordingly. Thanks!

    • Sorry I mean, blue strap with red stitching

  • Selling a watch with the name Jet Star is such an unlucky choice in Australia.

    96B415 looks very tidy

    Very nice! Silver dial has been on my buy list for quite some time and I told myself i'd grab it next time it went sub-$500.

    Can't resist at these prices. Should be an autobuy for any watch collectors out there.

    I'm going to go against popular consensus here and rank them as follows: Black/Gold, Red then Silver/Limited Edition.

      Nice selection, you can't really go wrong with any of them really.

    I bought the red dial of this about 6 months ago for around $480.
    The red is spectacular and no video or photo does it justice.
    I was looking for a red dial and they grab you by the balls.

    • If only someone did a side-by-side comparison video of the black/gold and red colourways, I'm struggling to pick one of the two.

        It's like the cheerleader effect. They look great as a collection but no clear standout winner.

        I like (and have) the silver one with the blue on the Indicies and second hand:

        Not on this sale but has been in the past for $299-349.

        • Thanks. Now it looks like my afternoon will be dedicated to the cheerleader effect rabbit hole.

          • @MS Paint: Ha, hard choosing out if those but the LE is good with both strap and bracelet.. they are all pretty retro

  • I like the red one but hoping for a $299 sale somehow haha.
