Bulova Accutron
Discussion
I thought I would start a thread for these wonderful hummers and all the other different models too!
I have always wanted one of these ever since I saw them for sale in a Jewellers in in the early 70's.
I couldn't afford one then and seeing them on another thread re-ignited the interest.
This one is a new acquisition for me and it is a 1963 Swiss model and probably a conversion (but the seller said it was a rare factory) because it has gold hands. I will get some of the white hands from the USA and get them changed because I find the gold hands a bit difficult to see at a glance.
The watch has been well looked after, no scratches and the glass is scratch free as well.
The old Canon Ixus has it's limitations close up!
Edited to to be more inclusive for all the Accutrons

Mine came back from Paul looking like this after he replaced the hands and made it run properly with a newly fitted 1.55 battery and replaced a cog wheel. It now gains a bit if I wear it and loses if I don't wear it!
It is an original Swiss one and not a conversion apart from the hands which I sourced from a guy in the States who gets these made up to the original pattern.
It has an original Bulova bracelet too.
