M3, 1963, Yes, a real '63, Yellow B. It's
beautiful and one of the rarest models, primarily made only in 1963,
worn the year Kennedy was asassinated when the cost of about 20 of
these could have purchased a new car, only a few very light marks on
the buckle. Otherwise, it's practically mint with a beautiful
Accutron bracelet, #1089, $1595.

N5, 1975, a rare 218 Anniversary.
Sure, we all know of the 214 Anniversary made only in 1975 with an
unmarked date code case back, but have you seen another anniversary
that is a 218? They are out there, but not in this one's condtion.
It's practially new and working great after a fresh service. Truly,
it's an absolute collector's piece and one of the very best 218
models you'll ever see, #1083, $895.

M1, 1961, 18k Accutron
Astronaut...next to the platinum, this is the rarest Accutron out
there and comes as a COMPLETE package, pamphlets, inner and outer
boxes, original battery and coin. It sat for years in a safety
deposit box of the biggest Accutron collector I know and is the
oldest 18k Astro I've seen. I had thought it was only made in '65 to
'66, but being marked M1 makes it decidly rarer. I suspect it was a
test Accutron only to be produced a few years later. Just like my
email tagline, the most expensive watch you'll ever own is the one
you buy instead of the one you really want. Get your dream Accutron
here first and don't worry about looking back. It's a beauty.
Freshly serviced and unrestored...looking like a million bucks, #1082, $11995.

The rarest 218 I've seen. Tonneau-shaped,
steel, black dial, none finer. In fact, it's new old stock. I was
lucky to acquire this one from someone years ago and just got around
to finishing it up. I had intended to leave it in my collection but
once it was completed, I couldn't resist putting it up for sale and
showing it off. New old stock Bulova band...it's the only one like
it I have ever seen, although I did see a photo of it somewhere
online. You won't find another for sale. It's impreccable and still
has its new old stock sticker on the back...#1074, SOLD

N2, 1972, Steel, Accutron 218 Deep Sea.
Fully restored. You can find one one Ebay for less, but in this
condition we're talking $400. And you will need to get it serviced
for at a minimum of $260, and it won't even be restored to look like
a near mint model unless you put in another $100. This one is ready
now and it looks like a champ. See the finish...it's beautiful...#1072, $895

N7, 1977, the very last year of
Accutron production. It looks as nice as it did back in the day when
it was likely purchased over the counter at Disney. Keeping great
time, now's your chance to get your wife hooked on Accutrons like
yourself...an extremely collectiblle Mickey Mouse Accutron #1064,
$895

M5, 1965, solid 14k ring and stel Accutron
Spaceview with its original 2-tone Accutron bracelet. Fully restored
and looking/operating spectacularly. Very small, but there are a
couple of small dents in a couple of the gold caps on the braclet on
the underside but they don't affect the look at all. #1063, $1195

1973, N3, Accutron Accquartz...absolutely

EXTREMELY RARE, Accutron jewelers display,
approximately 8" diameter, shaped like an alpha and only made in '61
for jewlers willing to spend a bit on a beautiful display. I've
never seen its like and I've seen everything Accutron related. Only
a true collector would appreciate this piece as much as myself. I
picked it up from a lifelong Accutron collector who has had it
stored away for 50 years . It lights and then flashes ever few
seconds. When it flashes, the dial changes from a dialed Alpha into
a Spaceview Alpha. $2495, #1043....display

First one I've ever seen. Sure, we've
heard about it but no one has ever actually held one that I've
known. Have you seen another? An early newspaper article published
in the Long Island Newsday in March of 1961 mentioned a $2500
platinum Accutron. I'm betting there were fewer than a dozen
produced and likely only the biggest wigs of the time received one.
This one's serial # is B55958 and it was manufactured in February of
1961...a month before the article was published. Can you imagine
someone paying $2500 for a watch in 1961? Was there a more expensive
watch from any other company at that time? First one I've ever seen.
Sure, we've heard about it but no one has ever actually held one
that I've known. I have it on the best of authority that only a
handful were produced and only in 1961. This one is from February of
1961. I was informed, too, that it was intended for Christmas sales.
And it's HEAVY!!!
On most Accutrons, I’ll restore their casebacks
but remembered when it arrived here originally several years ago
that the gentleman who had originally purchased it from me had asked
me not to restore it and wanted it to be completely original, which
it still is. It does come with that ultra-wanted all wooden Accutron
box, too, and its outer box…also a coin and an early Accutron
pamphlet. The box was actually suggested when it was new to g3 uw3e
as a cigarette box. I had a Bulova photo of that but can’t seem to
find it. There appears to be a very faint leftover inscription on
the back. I tried to catch the light just right in order to see it
as it’s hard to see. It seems to read A.R.ABCEDB. I haven’t a clue
what that means but some Googling to find that out might help.
Likely, it represents someone of importance based on the then cost
of this beauty.
