OK question.....I really like the Bulova Precisionist and the way the quartz second hand moves it makes you think you have a high end auto on...Does anyone own one? I'm thinking of putting one on my Christmas list....I had one on today and it's heavy.....Any input? TIA

The have a nice heft to them and some very cool designs. I don't see any issue in owning one but I would look to get one at a good discount because resale is not very good on them. That said, since it will be a Christmas gift you will probably have it and enjoy it for years to come

Hi Gregger, I bought one last year as my Christmas gift too - 98B142. Since mine is on a rubber strap, it's not heavy at all and wears comfortably. I'm assuming you handled one of the versions with metal bracelet? For the first 2 and a half months, I wore it every other week and by the time I decided to put it away for storage, accuracy was pretty sweet at about +3 seconds off. After storing the watch for the last 9+ months (with the crown facing down), the watch is off about +26 seconds ... not the ±10s/year that it claims unfortunately, but then again I assume that claim is based on regular wearing of the watch, or maybe placed with dial face up (I hope) ?  Anyway, I like the watch and think it was a good purchase. Plus, I like it when some people seeing it for the first time think I bought another auto until I tell them it's not. I hope your Precisionist turns out good for you too.

Seen some pics of those watches open on the net a while ago: Huge plastic ring(mvt holder) , flat battery covering the whole mvt back and nothing special to see when you uncover it. I would just say: Don't use much money on it. It's just fancy because the second hand isn't robotized, nothing else. Soon all quartz will go like that: It's less stressful to look at. The last school I was visited had big clocks with sweeping second hand as well.

Solid watch, Gregger with not so hot bracelets. Good buy at $200 and less.

I had one for a while but it wasn't a keeper for me. I agree with Pax that the bracelet was so-so and I'm not a big fan of mineral crystals. Just wasn't feeling it so I traded it on to another home. Good luck, though, with your purchase. Hope you love it.

Got a killer of a deal from a friend and picked up the Chrono 98B172 with rubber strap. Also may be looking at a Longines.....Does anyone have a good AD for Longiness?

I bought my wife the lady's 96R154 a while back. I know you're not looking for a lady's watch, but I will say its well made, solid, has been very accurate and reliable. That should resonate across the line.
