Bulova Mil-Ships-W-2181 (98A266) mini review

[neuman356]

My comments from the 'Incoming' thread a few weeks ago...

I bought this Bulova Mil-Ships at the end of Jan, opened the box and was immediately hit with the 16mm lug and strap width. Yes, it's historically accurate and yes, I could have done a bit of research before buying it but there you go. So straight to Google and onto WUS (mine says hi!) and I find a recommendation for this strap from Etsy which arrived today.
Very happy with watch and strap combo.

And a more recent photo (on the same strap)...

It does look good on that Bund strap, though I think that would add too much bulk for my liking. I've ordered a few straps for it, I'll see how that goes. Also might try notching a 20mm tropic strap, think that could suit it quite well

Good to see some owner images of these. I'm surprised to find the 16mm lug rather appealing - it makes a bit of a change from the me-too conformity of most dive watches, and coupled with the minimalist look, makes for a more appealing watch than the renders circulated on release ever suggested.

Enjoy!
