All this needs is a less goofy case and a bracelet.
Oh and a Precisionist movement. The Miyota 8 series needs to get in the bin.
Yeah this one is a bit weird because it shares the same case as the Jet Star
Here is a JS with a 262khz Precisionist movement (which is a great price, and should have been the one posted imo): https://starbuy.com.au/bulova-jet-star-mens-watch-96b414/
I have this one: https://starbuy.com.au/bulova-jet-star-limited-edition-mens-…
The Miyota 8 isn't complete garbage, and you're going to be paying double the price for a 9 series, I own 3, maybe 4 of them.
Edit: I forgot about the MAS Aquila that has a 9, and is $350: https://starbuy.com.au/mas-aquila-anthracite-mens-pilot-watc… I paid $400. It's a pretty great Flieger A that's very well made, and has great specs for $350.
@rosebank: Very interesting thanks, seems like a bit of a missed opportunity if I'm honest.
The Surveyor has previously been available with a pale green (but not quite pistachio) dial and a Precisionist/Accutron II movement, as the 96b211. With an OEM bracelet swap (from a 96b214) it looks great.
@boozed: Not sure if you saw my edit but here is a nice green dial Flieger Type-A, that was on sale for $350-400 with a Miyota 9.

I had first dibs with the Starbuy "Super Secret" VIP sales, but picked the safest option of the 3 cws. Should've got the green. The other 2 are still available lol
Yep, unusual colour combination, everything clashes.
The dial is nice. A brushed champagne gold case would be a better match than the steel.
A much lighter band, like a pistachio shell would complete the theme.
