My deceased brother-in-law left an Accutron watch with no band, not running. It looks like the 214's in this website. It is a 10K gold filled bezel with serial number D88781 and what looks like an N1 below the serial number. Can anyone tell me what this is for sure, year made, and approximate value. Thanks Mark mtowner@earthlink.net

Hi, I've just purchased an Anniversary 214 spaceview in new condition with original inner box, I've found an outer box and coin, I just need an original user guide in very good/new condition to make it complete for my collection, I'm in the UK dennismuk@hotmail.com

I have inherited a Spaceview sn K93447 / M4, and after looking at several sites this watch appears to be 100% original and in 98% condition, except for the non-Accutron leather strap. The watch is absolutely not for sale but I would like to find out more about it, and perhaps a current value for insurance purposes, if that be warranted. I can send scans to whomever wishes to help me. Thank you, Mrs. I.L. Wagner - choctaw_cat@mindspring.com

I have a Bulova Accutron watch that was my father-in-laws. I've search hours on the internet for any kind of picture or information on this watch with absolutly no luck. Any information would be greatly appreciated. The only thing I can tell you is that it has a stainless steel flexible band and the numbers on the back of the case are H882513 and an N1. The only info I have found is the N1 can possibly mean that it's from 1971. Email is babilek@att.net Thanks in advance!!!

I lost an accutron and want to replace it, but I do not know the model number. Perhaps a description will help someone help me. The watch was given to me as a gift in 1967. It was not a Spaceview. It had a pillow shaped 18K gold filled case. It had a dial which had a portal for the day of the month that could be advanced by a stem that protruded from the case. I can be contacted at: jmmaster@optonline.net

i have a Bulova accutron railroad approved watch. I'm aware that it is a swiss model as i have the swiss serial number stamped on the back. on the back its stamped M7 and around the outer circle it says bulova waterproof patented stainless steel. the face is round and white, with blue 24 hour counters. the numbers seem raised above the 24 hour markers in black. there is a tuning fork embelem in the centre at the top where '12' should be. the text on the face says bulova accutron railroad approved. i have found it really difficult to research online and there are suggestions that this model is rare ?? please help!! any information would be greatly appreciated ! debbieanderson1980@hotmail.co.uk

I'm trying to purchase a Bulova Accutron Spaceview M6 with a genuine black leather band. It's imperative that the face does NOT contain the white dots that mark each hour. In addition, the watch must be in "like-new" condition and costs under $350. If anyone is interested in selling such a watch OR can provide ANY helpful information/sites, please email me at jsgiller@hotmail.com or call 404-641-8911 (ask for Jared). Thanks

I'd like to identify and date my late father's watch. It has "Accutron" between the hub and XII, and the tuning fork logo between hub and VI. It has a cream face, and a slim flat gold case with gold Roman numerals and the winder is at IIII position. Diameter of watch case is 33mm. Between V and VII is "Swiss Made 27A04" printed around the edge of the face. The back has the number 503650 on it, but no apparent date code. Any help would be appreciated. rod@dugganaudio.co.uk

I have an M7 accutron man's watch, serial number B90830. I am fairly certain it is a 214 and it is 10kt. gold filled bezel. It has Roman Numeral on the face with the tuning fork logo in the 12 o'clock position. I am interested in obtaining an estimate price. Can you assist? Thanks! I can be reached at dennis@daltonaffiliates.com

Hello, I recently purchased an 214, but it's one like ive never seen before. It's asymmetricical (with the two gold swishes on either end of the "football"), but it's a Railroad approved watch. I've never seen anyone like this before and I'm wondering if it's a watch that was just thrown together (Parts), or if it's factory designed. Any information would be great! Thanks in advance, Gavin gavinvl@optonline.net

July 31, 2010

I have a stainless steel M6 Bulova Accutron railroad approved watch with blue 24 hour counters and raised black arabic numbers. There's a tuning fork emblem where '12' should be. I am very greatful to have found you site, and I will be ordering some batteries soon. I assume from the M6 it's a 1966--is this correct? And could you give me an idea of its value. Thanks, Keven kkuhns@columbus.rr.com

An Accutron man's 1976 watch with the engraving "to mac christmas 1976" was given to me by my Father when I graduated Medical school. It was stolen from me in 1998 in Daytona Beach Florida. Possibly at a pawn shop. If you have any information please call me at 772-985-2547 or email me at bcmcclure@gmail.com. It was a gift from my Mother to my Father, then he gave it to me. Reward if found. Thank you.

I found a 214 at a flea market. With a new battery it keeps very good time. I have familiar with the letter designations indicating the year of manufacture, however this one appears to only have a serial number G33428. The case is asymmetric with gold "triangles" at the 2 and 8 o'clock positions. Any idea on the age of this watch? Thanks, John jvandeplasse@nyc.rr.com

September 11, 2010

I have a accutron watch purchased in early 1970's. It has a gold face with a gold ring with lines around outside of the dial and says on back of watch 14kt yellow gold, waterproof, D48008, patented with the back as pictured on the 214's. We had a new battery placed in it 10 years ago and it worked perfectly. Since is is no logner working, we assume we need a new battery. Any information on this watch...value?...are battteries available? jbaartlow@yahoo.com

Blue Face Accuron: I have an N1 code Accutron with a stainless case and a blue (like medium, Slate or French blue). I have never seen another one like it, and I'm wondering if anyone else knows anything about it. The case has a horizontal surface that is highly polished, and outboard of that the sides are chamfered and brushed. The case has four distinct, curved sides, it is not round or oval. It has highly polished hands, a sweep second hand and a date. The hour markers (not numbers) are square with facets on the top surface. I would appreciate any information about it. Thanks. silvesro@shaw.ca

I have been looking for a 214 for 2 years to replace the one my father gave me when I was 15 yrs old. To be able to find a good one would mean a great deal to me . Please email me @ amaddox@expressoil.com

September 20, 2010

Has anyone seen the new spaceview? With only 1,000 scheduled to be made, I wonder how hard it will be to get one. Is it the same size as the original or did they make it larger (as many current watches are a lot larger then the 1960 ones). Vlad srh11293@yahoo.com

September 22, 2010

Do you know the production numbers for the Spaceview Anniversary 214 model, and how many were stainless? Thanks. ehershkowitzaa@hotmail.com

Hi, I have a 214 TV style asymmetrical, there is a button on the set mechanism, how is this used? I also have found a 14Kt WG version dated MO but it has no button on the set mechanism, I would like to buy it but am unsure if this is the way it came from the factory. Thanks Emily contoso@comcast.net

Hi, I just purchased a 14K yellow gold 214 Alpha in very good physical shape, the seller told me that it has recently been serviced in the US and it was running well and accurate for a few days until today when it started running very fast, I think that’s called double indexing. As the guy I bought it from has installed a 394 cell and I already had read about that phenomenon, I installed an Acucell1 instead following the excellent guidelines on this website. Unfortunately it’s now only humming, but not running and it does not react lastingly on jumpstarting by a slight tap on the side as described. If I reinstall the 394 it starts double indexing again and running twice as fast as it should. As is am from Austria and no one can repair these beauties over here I am a little bit worried… I would appreciate every hint or advice! Many Thanks! philipp.posch@inode.at

I have an 18ct gold accutron made in around 1972 [bought in 1973-4]. Swiss made according to the registration number prefix. No longer working. The last battery worked for only 3-4 months about 4 years ago. The watch is rectangular with crocodile strap and wide bezel, gold dial, slim straight hands, no numbers. Battery accessed by completely removing the back. Beautiful looking. What is the model number? There are no pictures of this model on your web site. What recommendations to get this working again? Should I replace the insides, or does this have rarity value, or intrinsic value[ other than the weight of gold]? Replies please to steve - snkeightley@googlemail.com Thanks.

December 29, 2010

I have a direct view accutron. It has the origional band and is in cosmetically good shape. Does anyone know how much these range in value? Thank you John M jmessmer@roos.com
