I have a friend lost his Bulova Accutron a few years ago playing golf. The watch was given to him by his father who has passed and now he is really upset about the loss. I wanted to gift him another one and asked what it looked like. He told me that the dial had no markers and had a duel date window. I couldn't find a Accutron with no markers for sale and came across this dial. Now I have to find the right hands to go with this dial. Now the TS has me confused. I looked around on the internet and found that Ts is Tritium H-3 used as an luminous material. In my mind I was ok with that, than I seen another ref that the meaning could be Triple Signed and the dial is but if the TS is ref to that it would have no meaning due that you can already see that that the dial is Triple Signed. And as far a the dial being luminous, I see no glow luminous material on it anywhere. I can't find a photo of a Accutron without markers to go by. Thanks for the input.
I too think it is unlikely that TS means Triple signed. One 'T' means less than 25 mC, and would be used if the EITHER the dial or hands had Tritium on them. If both had Tritium, the dial would read 'TT'. But TS? My guess is that the watch, when assembled, only had Tritium on the hands, obviously, since the dial has no indices.
Thanks for you input Rob, Trying to learn more about Bulova watches. Pretty much been starting with the Accutrons and working my way backwards. In many ways I look at a vintage watch like I would a vintage car. Whats right about it and whats wrong. There are so many models and styles. I can't afford some of the high priced models I like so I try to find rare-semi rare to uncommon watches that I like. This is a very nice site and whats important is that you and other members are keeping the History alive with what you hold dear.
