These ladies Accutrons are pretty rare and this is a very appealing example.
I tried a battery in the movement and couldn't get a hum out of it but
the battery was the wrong size so it may be OK.
The
gold plated case is very straight and has only the lightest scratches
and all lines crisp as new. The only condition issue is a chip or two
on the plated finish at the lugs. Otherwise would be near mint. The stainless
steel snap back is also good with some light surface scratches but nothing
major. The case clips up securely and there is no grot or corrosion anywhere.
The
original (not refinished) dial has a white painted ground with painted
Roman markers. It's in excellent condition with two tiny black marks (I
mena tiny) but otherwise excellent and very attractive with no discolouration,
damage to the finish, general spotting or corrosion. Appears very close
to mint. Black hands are perfect. The glass crystal looks to be free of
any scratches or marks.
The cal 2210 Bulova US made tuning fork movement appears in excellent
condition with all finishes looking bright and fresh with no visible dirt,
damage or corrosion. As I say, I tried a smaller battery and couldn't
get a hum out of it but it may just need the right cell and a bit of fidlling
or may need repairs. Setting is smooth and precise.
The crown is the original Bulova branded gold plated crown in excellent
condition.
I'll
send the used band that came with this watch - scruffy but sound with
one pin missing.
A very appealing little Bulova with great styling and technically significant
movement for afficianados of 70s style, or for the geek girl with a love
of interesting engineering.
20mm wide, 30mm top-to-bottom and about 8mm thickness.

FOR YOUR PROTECTION
PLEASE NOTE THAT I NEVER SEND OFFERS TO ANYONE, OR ACCEPT OFFERS, ON AN
ITEM WHILE AN AUCTION IS UNDER WAY. NEITHER DO I EVER DEMAND PAYMENT BY
ANY METHOD OTHER THAN PAYPAL (OR BANK DEPOSIT FOR LOCAL BUYERS) - ALTHOUGH
I CAN ACCEPT OTHER METHODS BY AGREEMENT.
I MAY OCCASIONALLY SEND A SECOND CHANCE OFFER AFTER AN AUCTION IS COMPLETE
IF A BUYER FAILS TO COMPLETE. IF YOU RECEIVE SUCH AN OFFER I SUGGEST THAT
YOU DO NOT FOLLOW A LINK FROM AN EMAIL BUT LOG INTO YOUR MYEBAY PAGE DIRECTLY
AND THE OFFER WILL BE DISPLAYED AMONGST THE ITEMS YOU HAVE BID ON BUT
DID NOT WIN.
THIS WILL ENSURE THAT THE OFFER IS NOT A SCAM. SOME SCAMMERS SEND SECOND
CHANCE EMAILS THAT LOOK AUTHENTIC BUT WILL LINK TO A DIFFERENT SITE WHERE
THEY WILL STEAL YOUR PASSWORD OR INITIATE A FRAUDULENT TRANSACTION.

Payment,
shipping and conditions
What
to do at the end of the auction
Contact is required within 3 days of close of auction and
payment within 7 days. Any other arrangement is by mutual
agreement so contact me if there is any problem.
How do I pay?
Preferred methods of payment are electronic funds transfer
(or direct account payment to a branch of Bendigo Bank) for
Australian buyers, or PayPal (in $AU or $US at my bank's
buying rate) for overseas buyers. My banking details are available
via bank deposit express after the auction close.
I will also accept AUD cheques or postal orders, but at least
3 days will be required to clear cheques and any additional
fees incurred will be the responsibility of the buyer.
Shipping
Standard shipping is by registered mail in Australia, or by
standard air mail for overseas. I am also happy to ship in
any other way you may wish with the following provisos - all
costs are covered by the buyer + $2AU to cover materials,
shipping for items paid by PayPal must use signed for delivery
and any arrangements for pick-ups by couriers etc are made
by the buyer and agreed with me. I cannot be held responsible
for costs incurred if you arrange a courier pick up and I
am not available at time of pick-up. Standard Australian registered
mail is insured up to $100, and insurance to $100 is included
in the international shipping price but recommend insurance
to the full value of the watch. I can provide quotes for additional
insurance and I will not be held responsible for underinsured
items missing or damaged in transit. All items are carefully
packed so they will not be damaged in normal transit conditions.
Please allow a few days for shipping as I'm sometimes away
or have crazy work deadlines.
Warranties
This item is genuine and as described.
In the event of a return and refund, the buyer must contact
me in advance of the return (within 7 days of receipt), and
return postage is the responsibility of the buyer. Please
note that no vintage watches are claimed to be water resistant
even if they are marked 'waterproof' or 'water resistant'
and no returns or warranty claims will be accepted as a result
of water penetration. Please also note that if a watch is
sold as unserviced it may need servicing in the future (which
could be sooner or later) and you should factor this into
the price. When a watch is sold unserviced my guarantee is
limited to what is stated in the description - usually that
the watch will be working as described on receipt - but precise
timekeeping and ongoing reliability are not guaranteed on
unserviced items.
