I'll bet you've not seen another...an 18k
BLACK dial, Accutron Astronaut. Golden dials on this rare model is
the norm, but in all the years I've worked with Accutrons I've not
seen another with a black dial...and it's completely original. Made
in 1963, the serial # is a bit rubbed off, but you can still see M3
when you look closely. 18k is soft and heavy, however this one,
overall, looks incredible for its age and it's keeping excellent
freshly serviced time. Getting an 18k Accutron Astronaut is
exceeding difficult. Couple finding one in this condition and with a
black dial and you've got the absolute best Accutron for any
collection, #1085, $10995

This one is EXTRADORNALIY rare. In the 30
years I've been into Accutrons, it's the only one of its kind I've
ever seen...a solid 18k White Gold Chapter Ring Spaceview.
Undoubtedly, it was made at a special person's request by Bulova for
someone who wanted a model not made by the factory ordinarilly. I've
seen 14k models which were Swiss, like this one, but I've never seen
one in white gold and most certaily have never seen one before this
in 18k. It is truly one of a kind, I'm sure. I've looked and cannot
find mention of this model in any of Bulova's old literature. Own
this one and you'll have the cherry of the crop, so to speak. There
were only about a dozen of the platinum models made, which is rare,
but being one of a kind makes this one even rarer than the
platinum. It should be priced higher because of that alone, but
here's a fantastic deal at an extremely fair price, #1084, $3495.

 |
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.
|
 |
M0, 1960, solid white gold Accutron
Spaceview Spiral Lug. It looks like it's mint and it's impossible to
find one better than this ultra rare model...especially in white
gold. If you find another, it will likely be in yellow gold, so it's
among the rarer Accutron models out there with a beautiful lug
design and an Accutron leather strap with a fork buckle #1081, $2095,
SOLD
|
 |
M3, 1963, Accutron Spaceview Yellow "B". The
only thing lacking from this practically mint beauty is a coffin
link bracelet, which is why it's priced a bit lower, but it's
sharper than most any Accutron you can find and made only in one
year...1963. This one has a beautiful Accutron leather strap and
fork buckle, too, #1080,
$1395, ON HOLD
|
 |
M4, 1964, Gold-filled and steel, Accutron
Chapter Ring Spaceview. There's little to be said about this one
other than it's the best one like it I have had in years. Look at
the finish in the photos and you'll see that for yourself. Sure,
everyone wants a solid gold spaceview, but the gold-filled chapter
ring spaceview is the calling card of Accutron collectors. It's a
beauty and it's affordable, comparatively speaking, and speaks
volumes to the Accutron everyone wanted back in the day. Addedly,
this is the most desired bracelet for this model...herring bone
Accutron bracelet #1079,
$1095, SOLD
|
 |
M3, 1963, Accutron, Yellow "B" Spaceview.
One of the most coveted of spaceviews. Truly, made in 1963 only so
owing to its moderate rarity...especially in this condition. Also
included is its original Kreisler Coffin Link Bracelet. You will not
find a better example. #1078, $1695, SOLD
|
 |
M6, 1966, Accutron, steel Astronaut "A" with
it's Accutron applied logo bracelet. Applied logo bracelets are hard
to find. It's in fantastic condition and looks as nice as it did
when it was new back in the day. Freshly serviced and would be a
stunner on your wrist. #1077, $1495, SOLD
|
 |
M3, 1963, The coveted Accutron Spaceview
"B". Truly a one year watch made predominantly in 1963. Fully
operational and freshly serviced. A "B" like this can't be found in
better condition. Some would call it mint...And it has its original
full length Kreisler Coffin bracelet, which by itself is a $350
bracelet. #1075, $1595, SOLD
|
 |
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, $1495
|
 |
M6, 1966, White Gold-Filled, Accutron
Accutron Spaceview. Compared to most, you'll rarely see a white
gold-filled spaceview. You'll find yellow gold-filled or solid gold,
or steel but the whites are decidedly once heckuva lot less common.
Judge by the photos and you'll see this one is impeccable. Freshly
serviced and keeping excellent daily wear time. And it has a
beautiful, original, Accutron mesh bracelet...#1073, $795, SOLD
|
 |
M9, 1969, 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
|
 |
M4, 1964, Steel, Accutron Chapter Ring
Spaceview. It's beautiful, near new in appearance, and freshly
serviced...probably the single most iconic Spaceview ever
made...#1071, SOLD
|
 |
M6, 1966, Gold-filled and steel, Accutron
Chapter Ring Spaceview. The best like it I've had in a few years.
Edges are crisp, freshly serviced, only minor polishing done by year
so it hasn't been overpolished by someone over the years. It's
absolutely exceptional and better than 99.9% of any like it you will
find...#1070, SOLD
|
 |
N1, 1971 Accutron Chapter Ring Spaceview.
Unusual with a red sweep often seen on railroad models. Freshly
serviced. It has small signs of wear so I'm pricing it a bit lower
than usual. It's still beautiful and could be a daily
wearer...#1069, SOLD
|
 |
N0, 1970 Accutron Cushion Spaceview. Very
contemporary yet vintage. One of the coolest steel Spaceviews made
and larger than the usual round varieties with its original Accutron
bracelet. Freshly serviced and looking great...#1068, $1295
|
 |
M7, 1967, Accutron Astronaut,
my most recent and extremely uncommon
applied marker silver dial, freshly serviced with its Kreiser Coffin Link Bracelet for a
coup de grâce collectible. Keeping
excellent, freshly serviced time. Truly, it's a stunner and better
than any you'll find. And at a much better price than $1995 for one
with a strap on another site. Some would call it mint and I'd say darn close.
Find another better...I dare ya...#1067,
$1795
|
 |
M7, 1967, Accutron Astronaut, very uncommon
silver dial, freshly serviced, Accutron leather strap and fork
buckle, none finer...#1066,
$1495
|
 |
M4, 1964, almost as sharp as the day it was
new, Accutron Astronaut "A" with its original and very desirable
applied logo buckle Coffin Link Bracelet...one of the very earliest
bracelets with its applied logo. Keeping excellent freshly serviced
time with a full length bracelet which can easily fit my 7 3/4"
wrist. #1065, $1795, SOLD
|
 |
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
|
 |
M2, 1962, solid 14k Accutron Spaceview
with its original, beautiful 14k integrated Accutron fine mesh bracelet
totaling 7 5/8" inches long.
You won't find another like it and it's heavy with an incredible
amount of gold. It's truly a beautiful collectible. I've seen a few solid gold spaceviews with gold
bracelets
priced as high as $7,000 or more, but I have this one priced much
lower. Although a somewhat expensive Accutron, the privilege of
owning one like it makes it worth the purchase when compared to
other watches (with far less history or soul). Try to find another,
and if you do compare the prices. This one is a steal by comparison. #1062, $3595,
reduced $3395, really reduced $2995.
|
 |
N0, 1970, Fully restored and serviced, a
beautiful black dial 218 in steel. A very affordable model in
impeccable condition, #1061, $495
|
 |
Swiss Accutron Spaceview "T"
with its original, beautiful Accutron bracelet. Larger than most all
spaceviews and in a contemporary steel case. Fully restored and
timing well after a fresh service. Hard to find one better. As nice
as the other model like it I also have listed, #1060, $1395
|
 |
M6, 1966, solid 14k Accutron Spaceview. It's
the heaviest of the 14k models and is in beautiful condition.
Crystal and hands replaced to make it its best with an Accutron
leather strap and tuning fork buckle, #1059, $1795
|
 |
M9, 1969, cushion Accutron Spaceview "T"
with its original, beautiful Accutron bracelet. This is the gem for
Accutron collectors looking for the most contemporary, by today's
larger standards, of the vintage models, #1058, $1395
|
 |
VERY RARE, solid 18k Accutron Astronaut with
a full length Champion 18k Bullet Band. It's very heavy and truly
the most difficult Accutron to find or obtain. It sold for $1000
when it was new, to match the cost of a Rolex 18k President in that
time. Such a Rolex today costs in excess of $30,000, but you can get
a much rarer model here unlike those you'll see in an office on guys
with expensive suits, for 1/3rd of that price with a story like none
other to tell. It's beautiful, freshly serviced, and near
impeccable, #1057, $9995
|
 |
1969, M9, 14k Accutron 2182, day/date,
impeccable condition and timing wonderfully. You will not find one
like this in better condition with a beautiful Accutron strap, too.
Someone was wearing this beauty the year we landed on the moon!!!,
$995, #1056

 |
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

M0, 1960, 14k Accutron Alpha, from the first
two months of production and outside of an 18 Astro or a platinum,
definitely the hardest Accutron to find. If you know Accutrons,
you'll know that finding an MO is near impossible, especially in a
condition like this. On a scale of 10, it's pushing extremely close
to that and has an original Accutron leather alligator band to boot. It's
meant to be the best in a collection and this one fits the bill and
only the 2nd I've seen in a year...$2095, #1000
|
 |
M0, 1960, 14k Accutron Alpha, from the first

gold-colored movement in this one to emphasize the overall

first repeater satelite into orbit in October 1960, and I'll bet it
had an Accutron on it!...$1995, #1001

M1, 1961, White Gold, Accutron Alpha
Spaceview. So much rarer than the yellow gold model. I'd say 1 in a

impossible. The height of an Accutron collection. And it has a
beautiful black croc band with a butterfly deployant buckle...$1995,

is a steal at this price. SOLD

Beautiful, 14k Accutron Spaceview
Alpha with Accutron leather band, $1895, #1038
|
$
$25000, reduced $11995...here's an
interesting note, a 6 inch cube of platinum weighs 139lbs. |
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.
Here's some info I found fascinating:, #1039
Crystal: 29.4mm
Model 2703-P
Buckle marked: irid plat, Z & F
Back of dial marked: 05-5, TRI
Case width: 32.73mm

Case back: marked at top, Plat-Irid
Inside case back has a letter "P" stamped. Printed in black ink,
"945"
Crown is non-snap back
Battery hatch has spring with raised, circular center...not the
earlier 3-prong
Dial: gloss black with what appears to be platinum hour markers
Total weight with dial, hands, movement, and crystal (no battery):
4.25 ounces
Total weight without dial, hands, movement, crystal, battery: 3.8
ounces
