    Default A13 / A14 Bull - anybody own one?

    Having a tough time deciding on a Bull45. I wish there was a tuxedo dial PVD model but there isn't. So I'm thinking A9 or A14...

    Wondering what folks think of the A13/A14 face with the larger sweep second dial versus the other Bull45 models with all 3 subdials the same size.

    On one hand, the dial looks busier, but it also looks more interesting and I think all three subdials are more legible on the A13/A14 too...

    Thoughts?

    A13 and A14 faces are awesome..the problem is deciding between the brushed SS or the PVD case depending on how rugged you are.

    That being said, the tuxedo dial is really a beauty to look at!! A very understatement models they have been.

    Anyway, go with the A14 and fit on the phantom if you like the stealth look. :)

    Default I had the same dilemma

    I bought the A13 but I went through the same thought processes you are going through now! I must have clicked on the lum tec site more times than I care to admit comparing the two. For me, SS is the way to go since scratches can blend in. Black PVD will show more wear over time and now that I've made my A13 my daily wearer even more important. I also bought a PANATIME thick black leather band with orange stitching. I would have loved a deployant clasp but I couldn't find a leather band given the diameter required of this design.

    You can't go wrong with either though. Buy both if you've got the change. I can definitely say that I've gotten more compliments on my A13 than any of my other watches in my collection save maybe the Panerai. Most non-watch aficionados wouldn't know what a Panerai is anyways. They do recognize Rolex but they are a dime a dozen. The A13 is very unique and the odds of running into someone with the same watch is nil. Not true of my other watches in my collection.

    Just my 2 cents worth.

    I own a A14 and love it...bought a thick black leather srap w/orange stitching from tic-tok...looks amazing...you can't go wrong with either choice...It does have a bold presence and gets alot of attention...moreso than many considerably more expensive watches I own.

    A10 in rose gold is my #1, #2 is A11 and A13. Toss up between the two for me :)

    I visited Lum-tec HQ this August with the idea I was going to purchase the A14, it's a real nice watch but for some reason I couldn't take my eye of the A8 the orange numbers on the dial just make the watch pop, I get tons of compliments on the A8, what I can give you is in my own opinion and the PVD Bull45 look nicer than the SS so if your choosing between the A13 or 14 go with the 14 the black PVD makes a much bolder statement on your wrist.....you will not be disapointed with this choice.

    Thumbs up

    Ended up deciding on the A13 in stainless steel. Beautiful watch! Better in person than in web pics for sure.

    Now I want another Bull45, just trying to decide between a PVD model, likely the Blue-detailed A7, or another SS model in the A12. I love the green face on the A12! And people say the tuxedo dial looks better in person than in pics.

    And for people considering a Bull45 with medium wrists - to me, the Bull45 wears smaller than you would expect. Curved caseback makes a nice fit and the watch looks great on my 6.75" wrist.
