Another day, another bullhead...

Recommended Posts

You wait ages for a bullhead, then two show up at once...

Not only did I pick up a vintage Citizen bullhead recently, but this also arrived - it's a rep of the Omega Seamaster Bullhead. They're available in a variety of case & dial finishes, so naturally I bought the most garish one I could find. :lol:

It's a cheapie, powered by a quartz microstepper. The surprising bit is how nice it is - it has some real heft to it, the quality of finish is excellent and even the strap is decent!

One of the nicest-quality cheapies I've had.

Quite nice.  I have a similar one that just passed through customs from the gate.  Mine is a quartz.

I returned to the RWG fold to reduce my collection and have some banter. The collection has gone up by 2 watches in a week and now you flaunt this really handsome piece.... it was never going to go to plan ... resistance is futile. In my opinion this is lovely and not garish .... how cheapie Greg out of interest. On second thoughts don’t tell me.

Anywhere from $62 to $120 for the same quartz.  A ton of different variations.

Love the bullheads. Seiko, Citizen vintage......even the Stuckx versions.

@NCRich  Ive been wanting to get one of these for a while...   How is the movement?   All the chorono functions work?  Does inner bezel rotate?

 

I wanna finally pull the trigger on this..

Quartz microstepper, everything works.  Bezel doesn't move.  But most of the Gate merchants will be off for CNY now.

Hey! Can we have an update on the Bullhead? Does it still work? How's the strap holding up? Has anything fallen off? Cheers, judas9r.

Bossman would have welcomed the question, don't worry.

I had one of these (quartz from Ali), very solid.

How do the pushes feel when you wear the watch? Does it cut into your wrist at certain angles?
