Here we have a mens vintage 1976 Bulova Accutron tuning fork watch with the cal 2191.10 later movement that appears to use just one coil and tuning fork. The dial is mint and the movement is in clean working condition. Unfortunately the case has seen better days with wear to the gold plated finish and some pitting/nibbles around the closure.

The gold plated case has a stainless steel back with a screw-down ring to secure the caseback. As I've said, there is siginficant plating loss/damage and while the back does secure, it isn't threading all the way around as there are some nibbles out of this area of the caseback.

The original (not refinished) dial has a gold ground with Roman markers and black hands. It is in mint condition with no damage or imperfections and markers and hands looking fresh as new. The acrylic crystal has some very minor surface scratches but no siginficant scratches or any cracks or other damage so can be polished out to perfect very easily.

The cal 2191.10 tuning fork movement appears in excellent condition with all finishes looking bright and fresh with no visible dirt, damage or corrosion. It hums away and sounds right, and runs well and keeps good time. The only issue is that it can take a couple of trys to start it again after hacking but I think this is just due to the battery being a little thin for the watch so it isn't held very firmly in place. Setting is smooth and accurate and the timekeeping was good over a day's test. I won't supply a battery with this one but it's guaranteed to hum and run (possibly after a little fiddling) or I'll refund your money.

The crown is the original Bulova branded gold plated crown in excellent condition.

No band with this one.

This could be worn as is as an interesting daily wearer, or be great for parts or a case swap. As the dial is mint and the movement functions, a simple case swap could yield you a great Accutron. Could also be used for parts or movement for the other mens Accutron I'm offering but you'd have to check the compatibility of the later model. If you're an Accutron fan please see my other listings.
