Owners widely appreciate the Bulova Champagne Dial Stainless Steel Bracelet Classic 44M117 for its design, though some express concerns about the gold plating wearing off over time, recommending an all-stainless steel variant. One owner dislikes the included strap and is seeking an upgrade. The integrated bracelet on the 28mm case may make it wear larger, and while it lacks micro-adjustments, it does include two half links. Overall, owners rate the Bulova Champagne Dial Stainless Steel Bracelet Classic 44M117 positively for its aesthetics, with durability of the plating being a point of consideration.
Owners celebrate the Longines Vintage 1980s for its fun dial and hands in unbelievable condition, a characteristic of the brand's well-executed vintage pieces. One owner notes slight misalignment on the minute lines relative to the applied gold markers and questions if the dial is a redial. The 32mm quartz watch was purchased for around $350 CAD in the 1980s. Overall, owners appreciate the Longines Vintage 1980s for its wearable vintage design and excellent dial condition.
