Would You Buy A New Quartz Watch For $550?

Hey Guys:

Just found this story over on Hodinkee....I think it looks great for the price!

And it's a BULOVA with history too!

I think you mis-interpreted my thread title....I already have 4 Rolexes....my avatar shows one of them....this watch looks great for the money and would make a nice addition to any collection...

It is an amazing story, Bulova takes over from Omega on Apollo 15. I agree, it would be a fun watch.

Sure. Many companies charge much more for much less. And as Paul said I am sure great discounts will be there to be had.

I have Invicta Arsenal Reserve and Bulova Precision, most expensive quartz watches I have ever bought.Bulova is a decent brand and makes 262 hertz watch whose second hand sweeps like an automatic movement watch.

There are millions of watches available at that price?

Buy that one if it's the one you want.

They are just watches.

I like that watch, Bulova generally discounts, so I doubt you would be paying $550.

I have always been interested in their precisionist technology, particularly their Chronographs, but their designs are horrible, finally a decent looking model I. That range, if street is under $300, I'll pick one up.

I wouldn't buy any quartz watch, however great it looks… Quartz IMO is an electronic device, manual or automatic is a technical achievement...
