Thats a beautiful watch. I'm not super knowledgeable- what makes it a bulkhead? I've not heard that term before. Are those hooded lugs?

I believe bullhead refers to the chronograph pushers on top resembling horns on a bull.

Ah, okay, I misread it as bulkhead somehow. Thank you for the explanation :)

It is intended to be used as a wristwatch and a hand held Chrono.

It's a bullhead because the pushers are on the top, made for easy use while wearing gloves. For some reason there just aren't that many of them out there.

Yes it has hooded lugs, making this watch wear smaller than it is somehow. Its a 38mm watch, the smallest in my watchbox

The bracelet isn't great but it's serviceable for the most part.

The import fees for this watch were killer though. $80 to get to the US from Japan.

Ah, I see. Its a gorgeous watch, and I can see how the pusher location would be way more ergonomic! Personally I love that style bracelet, but thats mostly on my cheap Casio's lol. But yeah, $80 import fee is definitely steep
