3 star rating system

Submitted by Bill Janzen on July 31, 2011 - 8:03pm

Please explain the 3 star rating system.  I don't recall reading about  how it works or what the determing factors are too receive a 1 2 or 3 rating.  Thanks.  Bill

Here it is in a nutshell http://www.mybulova.com/important-notices 

Basically if the watch has an ad to support the ID, it is 3 stars, but it must have a factory case and the movement date codes should be within 1-2 years. The dials may very slightly as long as they are close to the ad

You double posted this question so please delete the second post

Hi Mark,

That is a good question, I have not rated this one yet along with about 900 other Bulovas in need of a rating. Spring-Summer=busy time, Late Fall-Winter=more free time ; )

Looks like a 3 star to me and I will rate it as such, but it may need more help than me to push it up to 3 stars...

Agree, one of our panel members has voted this down a notch.....could that panel member please advise what concerns they have about the watch in question.

Thank You Gentlemen.

I would agree that a Watch would / should have a matching vintage advertisement or similar confirmation ( Crystal, N.O.S. hang tag etc.) in order to attain the full 3 Stars.

The three options currently are:

1. Not confirmed *.

2. Tentative **.

3. Confirmed ***.

I would also vote to have in place an option to completely reject any ID presented, zero stars perhaps?
