This is the watch I was looking for!
The dial is white, without color reflections like you can see with mother of pearl. I also love the design of the numbers 4,8 and 12, the rest are little diamonds.
The 3 chronographs are: 60-minute timer, 24 hour hand, and at the bottom second hand. At first I thought the second hand is the long hand like you see on every watch, but this is 60 second stopwatch. It`s always at 12 o`clock position (if you want to measure seconds you have to push the top button at the right, if you want to reset push the 3rd on the right and it goes rapidly to 12 o`clock again). The instructions are very easy, I actually set the watch without reading.
The band is very nice too, I got 2 links removed and now fits perfectly. It has hidden clasp so it won`t scratch or pull any fabric. Although my watch was a little bit dusty (maybe a display model before), I am happy. I removed the dirt with a q-tip. The stainless steel is very shiny. The weight is just perfect; not heavy at all, but of course not light like titanium watches. Shipping was fast. Now I`m checking the time, if everything works like suppose to.
My husband also likes this watch. Its more classic yet modern than others with a similar style but more 'bling' factor (f.e.Bulova 96R19 or Invicta 4718-those are nice, but I wasn`t crazy about them and I didn`t want any bling PLUS Invicta is way to heavy with invisible diamonds). Great with jeans, but will work for an elegant dress too. It`s not too big (like my Casio Baby-G), but I was looking for a little bit oversized. It won`t go out of style, it`s simple but not boring.
I`m gonna love it for a long time!
Update April 2009- the watch looks awesome in the sun, shines like a fine piece of jewelry. I have a lots of compliments! Still loving my watch!:)

Bulova Women's Diamond Dial Chronograph Watch #96P003
I purchased this for a christmas gift for myself and was not disappointed.If you have a smaller wrist like I do it will be have to be sized.I had to have 4 links taken out (5 1/2 inch wrist).Jc Pennys only charged me about $8 for that service and was ready in 10 min.
WOW. Nothing short of what I expected. A really gorgeous watch. Small diamond accents, beautifully made, a truly classy watch. I don't know about its longevity, as I received it only 2 hrs ago. It is still going. Here is the only neg. The case diameter is 30 mm not 33 mm as stated. The 33 mm includes the little knob on the side. The face is 22 mm in diameter. I have seen prices for this watch on the web varying from $350 to $189. For $189 it's a steal.
This watch is as beautiful as expected. I love it, and the price was outstanding.
Bought this as a gift for my girlfriend; WOW was she impressed. Top quality, sturdy, decent weight. Excellent watch. Took it to Boscov's jewlrey and they were able to remove the links to make it fit really easily. Looks like a $200 watch. Would recommend completely!
This is my first Bulova timepiece, and I'm in love.I didn't want anything too gaudy, but I still wanted it to look feminine.I also have a small wrist, but wanted a watch with the chronograph function.This watch is definitely what I was looking for- the tiny diamond hour-markers really shine, and the mother of pearl inlay is really beautiful- it is far more striking in person.
I just bought this watch as a gift for my wife.(See there honey, you're world famous!I just mentioned you on Amazon.)
MODERN, FEMININE, UNIQUE AND SOPHISTICATED. This watch is even more beautiful in person! I've had it for about 1 month now and have gotten so many compliments. I can't stop looking at it, it's just that pretty. This particular model really stands out, especially when you compare it to the other Bulova watches for women, or women's watches in general. Not to mention it looks like it costs a fortune! This model is much bigger and heavier than your average women's watch, so it is not a watch to buy if you want something discrete. The diamonds are very very tiny and you can barely see them, so if you are looking for something with bigger, more visible diamonds, you will need to spend a lot more.My favorite thing about this watch, besides the fact that the face is so gorgeous and unique, is that I can dress it up or down. It can look sporty or super dressy. It goes with everything!
