Watch Description

Mens Dress RR 214 Model M5

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. 

This is a Bulova Accutron watch purchased in 1966. Seriel numbers on case are 495265 M5 Mens Dress RR 214
This is merely another pic of the front.
Rear of watch, please see serial number/model number.

Here is the Accutron "422", which is very simialar to the subject watch, but with some obvious differences.

I'll continue to search to see if I can find an exact model match.

I can honestly say that I would have bet my lunch money that this dial had been refinished, what a surprise to see it in a line catalog! I haven't found a match yet either but the applied numerals are very cool.

Makes me wonder if the case was replaced or if it came from the factory like this.

At first glance I wondered that too Jim, but seeing a partial match line book clip above that states clearly "applied black numerals" I convinced it's all original. That David is the original owner seals the deal for me.

At this stage I think we can only provide a generic ID of 1965 Bulova Accutron. A variant match may be found one day.
