Del 4,459 Posted September 11, 2017 I didn't even realise that Bulova had released a black version of their new Moon Watch until I saw it in a shop yesterday! Looks very good on the black leather NATO-style strap. More details here:- https://intl.bulova.com/products/98a186 And some pics from "ablogtowatch"...

I do too tbh (which is great since I have the SS version ) but some folk like the stealthier look! And the black NATO actually looks good - I think I'd prefer that to the carbon-effect leather strap on the SS version. It's Bulova's version of Omega's "Dark Side of the Moon" but at less than 6% of the cost! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do like the matt effect too, same on the SS version actually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
watch.aholic 538 Posted September 11, 2017 Yeah... I saw that too while checking out current pricing for the SS version which has surprisingly bumped up... Kinda happy that I didn't buy the SS so far... As this one looks more appealing to me as I love black watches anyway... Btw... Did you guys notice that removed the date window from this release.

FunnyStarSystem 7,538 Posted September 11, 2017 I'd like to see this one on a black ss bracelet, really love mine on the bracelet. Interesting find, Del. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Geez, so it has! Oh well, I guess they wanted to avoid cutting out the date window! You'll love the SS version - it's a cracker mate! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NFleischer 4,355 Posted September 11, 2017 Not bad, but I prefer the SS also. Super value watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cvp3 2,103 Posted September 11, 2017 I found the SS for $311 with rebates on ebay and folks on WUS were saying it was sub-$250 earlier in the year. I couldn't find that price but don't doubt it. I'd be a buyer on a SS Bulova moony for under $250. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
black263 228 Posted September 11, 2017 Prices I've found vary from £318 on Amazon, and a few others, up to £489. I've gone with Amazon Prime, with free delivery tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cvp3 2,103 Posted September 11, 2017 Here's the SS one in the US for $341. Seller has 2 left. Ebay had an 8% coupon last week so that + befrugal and it was under $310 USD. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Bulova-96B251-Special-Edition-Moon-Apollo-15-262Khz-Frequency-Mens-Watch/222625702303?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw these selling for like 500+ dollars before they dropped to the 250ish levels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheekyspud 0 Posted April 6, 2018 Apparently they removed the date wheel to form better symmetry following feedback from owners. They also changed the bulova logo back to the original 1970s style which suits the lines of the watch I think (not that Im biased!). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
duddlyboy 0 Posted April 6, 2018 This black version has been on sale at 'H SAMUELS ' lol in the UK for the last couple of weeks . With a 50% dicount , and extra 10% off if you joined the news letter ! So you could buy the watch at £225 down from £499 , unfortunately they have now all been snapped up .

fatarms 7,777 Posted April 7, 2018 The stainless version is sexy. The black version in the OP just looks all kinds of wrong on that leather nato. The strap is too short or something, especially on the side view on the website linked in the OP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
