Accutron Astronaut

Accutron Astronaut Enhanced Type 2 variant ?. 14k gold bezel moves smoothly. Accutron snakeskin band with G F buckle (original?)

Bulova astronaut m8 1968 type 4 with black bezel and white cream. Little scratch on glass but not a big deal still very clear. All radium on hand ligth in dark after 50 years ! Jb Champion bracelet. I don't open the case yet because I need specific tool but I have open the battery slot, I put a energizer 387s md silver 1.55 v inside with + symbol down but nothing move. However I can move manualy the hands with the little tongue and works. So I need to find the way to repair this watch, will be hard because in France

1962 Accutron Astronaut "Mid Year" Stainless Steel

This is a saleman's sample of the Accutron Astronaut Mk IV, its crowns long since been scavenged for repair on another watch. It probably was complete at the time with band.

The pics show light scuffing from being in a drawer for many years, but these would easily buff out. The crystal is mineral glass.

I'm wondering if the serial number- which begins with an 'I', not a '1', is unique to samples.

Just a bit of history.

1964 Astronaut 14K Solid Gold Bezel & Case...

moveable bezel black dial, 4th hand for GMT one original owner. (my father)Accutron written under 12-hour baton Astronaut written above the 6-hour baton. stainless steel case Bulova waterproof stainless steel backing. Original dial, bezel, hands, 214 movement, Non-original bracelet. To my knowledge other than replacing the battery it has not been serviced. But just because I could not find any recipes from his jeweler stating as such does not mean it hasn't been serviced. Runs like a dream keep's perfect time.
