Whether Bulova watches have diamonds in them varies. The American watchmaker produces some timepieces with diamond accents, such as the Men's 97D108, which has eight gemstones on its face. For its timepieces that are set with gems, Bulova only uses real diamonds.

In early 2015, they released the Joseph Bulova Collection First Edition 24-Karat Gold Watch. Only 32 of these gorgeous timepieces exist and – with a suggested retail value of $42,000 – they remain the most expensive Bulova watch ever produced.

No – Bulova is not a luxury brand. This is because virtually none of their watches utilize precious metals. In addition to that, the price point of the timepieces is generally considered affordable, which is by intention from Bulova.

So, is Bulova a luxury brand? In terms of craftsmanship, quality, and innovative spirit, Bulova indeed carries many of the hallmarks of a luxury watchmaker. However, its affordable pricing and broad accessibility separate it from traditional luxury brands.

Unlike a diamond ring with a beautiful stone, which will most likely hold its value, the diamonds on watches have little value apart from the watch as a whole. It would probably cost more to take the diamonds off a watch than they would be worth on the resale market.

Are Diamond and Gemstone Watches a Good Investment? Absolutely, when done wisely. While people often buy luxury watches for their style and status, some watches can also appreciate in value over time, making them a potential financial investment.

Bulova is an American timepiece manufacturing company that was founded in 1875 and has been owned by Japanese multinational conglomerate Citizen Watch Co. since 2008.

Watches made with 14K and 18k gold, rose gold, and white gold can be sold for a few hundred to a few thousand dollars, while the enamel watches will sell for a bit less. For example, a Bulova watch with blue enamel from 1923 is currently listed for $350.

Bulova's industry innovations included everything from pioneering standardized production of watches to developing the first fully electronic watch with proprietary tuning-fork based technology making it at the time the most accurate watch in the world.

The inside of the case back will typically be marked with the name “Bulova”; the exterior of some case backs are also marked (rarely with the name, but often with a recognizable Bulova date code after 1948). Case signatures often seen on legitimate Bulovas include: Bulova, American Standard. Bulova Watch Co.

Usually glittering stones on a watch are made of crystal glass, and of course there are also watches available with real diamonds.

Most diamonds will reveal blue florescence under a black light; therefore, you'll see a medium to strong color of blue, which means the diamond is real. If you don't see the blue color and instead see a slight green, yellow or gray fluorescence then this usually indicates the gem is not a real diamond.

On a luxury watch, they sure are. Several people have noted that small diamonds are surprisingly inexpensive. However the diamonds used on watch faces are cut to extremely tight tolerances to ensure they fit securely into the face without impeding the movement of the watch hands. That raises the price significantly.

While the steel that is used by Bulova is very common, the steel is of good quality. A lot of owners of a Bulova watch love the brand for having hard wearing watches that are likely to last a lifetime with good and proper care.
