Bulova Accu Swiss 63B172 Mens Accu Swiss Silver Steel Bracelet Watch

This is by far my one of my favorite watches, it's simple, yet classy and it has the perfect color scheme. I have a small collection of watches and this is one of my favorites so far. Bulova watches don't really impress me but this one is unique. To top it all off, it comes with a very nice case and not just a generic one. And the fact that it is swiss made is very nice as well. I believe this watch is worth the money and $350 is a reasonable price for a quality, lavish looking timepiece.

I am very disappointed with the seller. I ordered a watch for my birthday. I thought I would get a new watch. But the watch stopped working 2 hours after delivery. I took them to the service center. The service worker said that the watch had already been repaired earlier. There are fingerprints and rust marks on the mechanism. Thanks for the ruined birthday present.

Keeps excellent time (depending on whether it is on my wrist or the winder, +/- 5 secs/day) and the description is incorrect....this watch has a sapphire crystal, not mineral glass. It uses a Swiss Sellita 200 movement, virtually identical to the Swiss ETA 2824; but, the Sellita firm adds an extra jewel for the winding mechanism, bringing it to 26 jewels. (Sellita used to build some of the 2824 movements for ETA before the Swatch Group made some business changes). This is an excellent watch...an unbelievable value for the money. UPDATE: Been either worn or winding for over a year and was running 7 seconds slow/day, so used the "Calibrator" feature for the first time, to adjust the time. Got it averaging 1 second fast per day, which is remarkable (Rolex calibrates theirs to +/- 2 secs/day). Purchased the OEM leather strap direct from Bulova for $60 and it looks fantastic and is slightly more comfortable and much lighter than the metal bracelet. Not sure I could ever settle for a watch that does not have this adjustment feature! Although, I do agree with some critics that the seldom used calibrator indicator at the 9 o'clock position could have been put on the back of the watch and use that space for a power level indicator. Still, a really fine watch and a bargain. (Caution: The 63B171's leather strap will fit this watch with the metal bracelet; however, only if Bulova sends you the "Accu-Swiss" leather band...the "Accutron" leather band looks identical, but the spring bar holes are slightly off and will not fit the Accu-Swiss lugs).

I rather like this watch even though it's the version that has a 12 and no exhibition back. At the right level of wind it's amazingly accurate so suspect that these are set up more precisely than usual in the factory when they are made.I haven't touched the adjuster and not sure I will. It seems I am one of many that find that automatic watches run down after a few days so have to use a watch winder over night or wind it up now and again. Used this way - always partially wound it's remarkably accurate. A COSC watch I have is the same. It's a pity that watch winders only offer a limited number of turns per day.John-John-
