Bulova 96B104 Strap Silver Watch

I was looking for a leather strap watch with a basic, classy look. This watch fits that description 100%. It goes great with anything from formal to business casual dress. It is very compact and light, which can be a pro or con depending on the person.

If you have large hands or wrists, the case or strap width may be too small for you, I highly suggest going out to try the watch on to see if it is. The watch is VERY light, which I am not sure if I consider a pro or con. While I do like the fact that it almost feels like I'm not wearing a watch, the case does not naturally fall to the center of my wrist like heavier watches do, nor can I wiggle my hand to make it, I have to manually adjust it with my other hand. The watch tends to fall somewhat in-between my wrist bone (I think it's called the ulna?) and my hand, which gets a little annoying. On the other hand (no pun intended), this may not be a case weight issue but a strap issue, because I have a small wrist and am using either the third or second to the last hole on the strap, which causes the clasp to be off-centered with my wrist when the case is centered. Maybe I can try a shorter strap to see if that fixes my issues.

This watch has a minimalistic dial and a polished all stainless steel case which shines over the light incidence. In spite of this classic style, this watch is good to wear with sport shirt or even dressy. It looks like an 1970's Omega Genève Dynamic automatic 1010 or 1020 caliber movement watch on the same model, but this 96B104 with japanese quartz becomes very reliability watch and accurately time. Good to wear in raining days, because I don't need to worry about the small splash of raindrops of water. Very lightweight for daily wear, 37 mm outer diameter and 7 mm thickness is enough to fit on my 170 mm wrist length. This Bulova is my best buy that I ever made. 

This Bulova 96B104 Strap Silver Watch is beautiful, solidly built, lightweight, thin and right-sized. Only actual photographs on the Internet show its beauty. One needs to see it in person to to appreciate its true beauty. It's comparable to Baumw & Mercier's MOA08686 Classica Date & the IWC356504, two of the world's most beautiful (and most expensive) watches. It weights only 4.5 grams and it's thin & comfortable. I've been looking at this watch with interst on the Internet for several years but all pictures always seemed to suggest it's rather fragile. NO Way; It's SOLID! I saw it in a jewelry store and I was blown away with its beauty! I'm a watch collector hobbiest and have purchased MANY wrist watches over the years. My other watches are in their display cases because I'm wearing this beauty. I highly recommend this Bulova beauty. Its only fault is its band does not come close to the watch's quality, which is no problem because I'm alergic to leather bands and have to replace each leather band with an expansion band.
