Cool beans. Post some pics if you get it.

Looks good! A real "set it and forget it" watch.

BTW: Yes, boostin's correct: pics please... .

I have one with the Precisionist movement. It's amazingly smooth and accurate.
Get one, Sub. You won't regret it.

I wish the cases on these weren't 46mm. That's too big for my 6.75" wrist.

Yes it was you that has one. I couln't remember who posted that. A 44mm is the biggest I've ever gone. I'm a bit worried on the size. How does your wear??

 

[levelmanroger]

It wears fantastically!
Mine is the Ti model, so very light and comfortable. Here it is on my now 7.75" wrist (been losing weight).

LMR, thanks for the pics. Thats really whats holding me up, the size, every site I look at has it sized difrently and I can't find a store that has the one I want in stock. Its not like me to buy a watch sight unseen (I never do that) even for a rep I always try on the gen so I have an idea as to its look and feel.

I sold a watch here once it was a Invicta Offshore Prodiver (looked like an Omega PO) and if I'm correct I believe it was a 48mm watch. The watch itself was nice and I liked it, I remember it being very well built and solid, but I also remember everytime I put it on thinking people must think I'm half blind and can't see a normal sized watch, never got a big one again. I also have to say that I understand the trend is now big, but I don't follow trends. I wear what pleases me and to me a oversized watch looks bad.

The Bulova wears about the same as a 44mm Pam, but taller.

LMR, thanks but I'm gonna wait till I see one and try it on myself. You know what a mean pics can only show you so much.

The watch looks well made and of course the movement is diffrent form the usual quartz movement.

I say do it!

Although I like watches that are too big for my wrist. I had a Breitling 675, now I want a SA.

On the Bulova front, I was eyeing this one, but decided to get a rep instead.

or maybe this. black and RG, very sexy

Wow, I had no idea that Bulova had such an impressive piece in it's collection.

I have to think others will being using this movement as well because its very cool and extremley precise. The only concern I have and its a small one is the battey life expectancy and how long it will last between changes.

 

[levelmanroger]

The battery is supposed to last @4 years.
And the movement is accurate within 10 seconds a year. A YEAR, not a day, week or month. And it has the smoothest sweep you'll ever see - 57,600 vph (twice the beat rate of a Rolex).

It sure doesn't look like it wears like a 44mm pam. I might have to go try one on. Does anyone have a pic of one on a sub-7" wrist?

 

[ThinkBachs]

The fact that it has an ultra smooth sweeping hand makes it a real contender for my wrist. the biggest attraction for automatics for me is the sweeping second hand. Give me a quartz that sweeps even smoother and I'll take that any day.

 

[sub4me]

Four year battery life, thats what I'm talking about. I wasn't able to get that information anywhere I looked, so thats good to hear.

To have a have watch with a smooth sweep and accuracy of quatrz is a treasure. Also the price is decent.

 

[trailboss99]

Oh now that I like, very much. How many dollars?

 

[sub4me]

The one I was looking at was retailing for $350 and selling for around $260, so should be right around that area.

Have a look on amazon.

 

[Draven451]

That is for posting this. I have been recently looking into the precisionist line. Looks like excellent watches for the money
