Hello All! I'm looking for some feedback on either of these two watches to help me decide on which to add -- the Duckworth Prestex Verimatic or the Bulova Jet Star.

Honestly, I love the throwback look to the watches - their dial design really grabs me. While I know Bulova is a solid brand with a lot of history, I'm not super familiar with their recent offerings and quality level. As for Duckworth Prestex, I've only seen them mentioned a few times, and was wondering what type of reputation they have here. Would you generally recommend one brand over the other?

As for the movements, the Duckworth has a Miyota 9039 and the Bulova has a 262 kHz quartz movement. I'm fine with either automatic or quartz. I've read the Miyota movement can be noisy, but any other feedback/experience with either movement?
