Accutron & Bulova Vintage Watch Repair for the Budget minded

THE COST OF ACCUTRON REPAIRS

Your Vintage 214 or 218 Accutron suddenly not working? 

You search the web for a Watchmaker close to you or Accutron Repairs. 

You faint dead away on the floor when you see how much an Accutron service is? 

BREAKING News:  

For a flat $79.99 I will service and restore any Accutron Model Watch. If parts are needed its extra but I promise not to kill you on costs. 

Instructions: 

Send me a pic of your watch and a brief description of problem.

G796 Gasket Diameter

Submitted by alane24 on August 6, 2022 - 1:09pm

Hello, I'm looking to replace the caseback gasket in my 1969 (M9) Oceanographer G. The watch is enroute so I cannot take measurements.

I know that the OEM gasket is G796, but I'm looking for a modern aftermarket solution.

I don't have the diameter of the original and am hoping someone here might know. 
 

Is this Bulova a knock off?

I do not know the year but I do remember my father wearing this in the 80's. I took to the watch store today for a cleaning so I can hand it down to my son. They said it was likely a knock off. I didn't ask further questions and they would not open the back of it. Under Bulova on the face it does say ACCURATE not Acutron and I have not been able to pull up any Bulova ACCURATE watches. Is it likely a knock off?
