As I mentioned in a previous review, I purchased 2 Jet Stars: red dial and gold-tone dial. The red dial Jet Star has a comfortable steel bracelet and I really like the deployant clasp. The dial contrasts (dark red face with black chapter and silver and red hands) make it easy to read and add quiet elegance to the watch. The machining of the stainless steel case is superb. The HPQ is an accurate and precise movement.
I purchased my Jet Star directly bbbthe crimson red dial and it is amazing! The case and bracelet look and feel cheap. The highly polished parts of the case and bracelet look like fake plastic chrome. Bulova needs to take a page from Seiko and Citizen on their fit, finish and bracelets. I am being generous in rating this watch 2 stars. The only reason for 2 stars are the dial and movement. Everything else is a 1 star rating. Would I buy this watch again? Probably not!
