Accutron

Accutron 214 stainless steel Kreisler mesh band. Im having a hard time reading the date code on the watch. It was left to my son by his late grandfather. I would like to have it cleaned and serviced and insured if needed. Any help with the date would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Picked this up a few days ago.  The black dial is what caught my attention.  Obviously an M6 Accutron 214.  I have only seen these identified as Accutron 214.  With all the variations, I'm surprised Bulova didn't have names/letters for the variants.  Or maybe they did.  The inside case back is stamped 2387 9-6.  Could these be model subcategories or do they mean something else?

Please note, I am the original owner. I purchased this watch in 1966 at the Navy PX in Guam. I have the original case/box the watch came in. I wore this watch from 1970 until 1975 and it has been in a case until recently. This watch is in pristine condition. 

I was fortunate enough to have a my Bulova member help me resize a couple pics for site. I am happy to text or e mail as pictures as anyone asks, front, back, case, etc.

Here I have my Vintage 1963 Accutron. Despite countless attempts I cannot seem to identify this exact watch. The serial number reads M82736 “M3”. I have found similar watches with minor differences such as a different second hand design with the Tuning Fork on the end, a spear tip design or flat like my watch but the year is not the same. This is confusing since it seems like there are multiple variations of the same watch design from different years. This one runs and keeps time perfectly and I would love to find out more information about it or even identify what it exactly is. 

Hi, guys,
I'm new here, but I've been a fan of bulova watches for a long time. About 3 years ago I first saw the Accutron Spaceview from the 60's in a photo and fell in love immediately. I had to know more, so I started looking up all sorts of information about the watch and the company. You can probably imagine my surprise when I found out that the founder, Joseph Bulova, was from a small town near Prague - just like me! Greetings from the Czech Republic (former Czechoslovakia) :)

I rather like the older Bulova watch models from the 60s and 70s, but unfortunately they are almost non-existent here in the Czech Republic. Miraculously one appeared on a local auction site a few days ago - I had to get it at any price - and I did. I would like to share some photos and maybe get some information from you about this model.

Here is some information I was able to deduce:
Swiss Made, Hidden Spaceview 1964?, The movement is stamped "214 H" "BULOVA", "SWISS MADE", "BREVET-PATENT", "M4". The clear crystal is armored with a silver/light golden tension ring, The Dial is a silver/light gold dial face with "SWISS MADE" printed in black lettering under the 6 o'clock marker.

I know it is by no means a flawless piece, probably composed of multiple pieces (the year marking on the movement is different from the caseback), but at heart still an accutron albeit hidden ;). I need to find someone to do a service, but I love them anyway and don't regret the purchase.
 
I tried to track down a similar model here on the site, and the most similar I found was at this address: https://mybulova.com/watches/1964-accutron-7239?page=1
last photo - scan from the catalogue with the letter "c"

And also on the accutronfacts site, down at the bottom of the page labeled "Bul111": https://accutronfacts.freeforums.net/thread/304/accutron-calibre-number…

What do you think of my first (and hopefully not last) Bulova Accutron vintage watch? Thanks for the responses and any information on the watch. :)

1961 Accutron 403   Picked this gem up yesterday at a flea market for $190.

Unfortunately she doesn't hum   (old corroded Union Carbide battery still in it)

But I'll take that stamped kriesler coffin link and be happy.
