Bulova Marine Star Gold Tone Watch 43mm 98B396
Value & Price Guide
Got this Bulova Marine Star watch here. It's the gold tone version with the black dial and bezel. Looks pretty sharp with the gold stainless steel bracelet. It's water resistant up to 100 meters and has that classic diver look. Still has the Sam's Club tag on it, so it's basically fresh. Great if you want something that looks high end without spending crazy money. Dial has a nice texture to it and the date window is at the 3 o'clock spot.
