Aloha All , Here's a trio of Accutrons I just received . I got the "Bowtie" in one auction and the other two watches in another...

First off is the Accutron Bowtie...it's stamped M7 on the back which dates it at 1967 . It was running when I received it but have not yet removed the case back to check things out so I'm not really sure what the movement # is , but it is a date only . It has the tuning fork second hand .

I had a new Accutron Teju Lizard strap that I installed on it ,... the strap has a gold Tuning fork emblem on it . It's a Long size and a bit too long for me so I am going ask an acquaintance that works with leather if he can size it for me . It's nice .

Next is a really nice looking Woman's Accutron . Gold with a metallic Orang y  dial with Gold indexes , and a 10K gold filled case . It has a snap on case back and is stamped N2 which dates it to 1972 . It was advertised as a mans watch ,...but it's not . The mesh band is part of the watch and not installed with spring bars . It has a 2183 movement ,...no day/date and no second hand .

Last but not least is a kind of different character . I think it does not have the original case back as it does not have the date stamp that I can see and is stamped Swiss on the inside of the case back . It has the 2182 day/date movement with USA stamped on it , but it is skewed so that the stem is at 3 o'clock instead of 4 o'clock....this movement was probably re-cased .

  It has an accutron dial but there are a couple of  small letter "T"'s by the 6 o'clock index .

Still , it is a nice watch ,....a bit larger than other Accutrons .

      Looking to try servicing an old movement

      The War Department recommends Elgin M-56A oil.  Elgin later came out with M-56B which is better.  You will find the Elgin M-56B in cool "one-drop" bottles on ebay for under $20.  Get one and discipline yourself not to read any threads on "what oil should I buy." Get a brand new set of Bergeon screwdrivers They are not that expensive. Get a pair of Dumont #3 tweezers.  If you were a boy scout and no how to sharpen a knife, find a pair of Dumont #3 on ebay that is in reasonably good shape and buy them--they are better.  Then dress them with a stone using your boy-scout skills. Once you become a skilled amateur, you will be confident to invest several thousand dollars in the 14 different Mobius oils that the experts recommend (SARC).

      Welcome to the WRT forum.   Both pieces are worth TLC, they don't make them like these anymore, so you are looking at a limited available quantity. I suggest working on them when you have acquired good dexterity and experience.  Chinese keep making same chunk= junk and  love to see you break them, so to sell you another one, the fact that  they don't sell spare parts supports the point of my arguement.   If you are buying now, why not buy two Swiss scraps of the SAME CALIBER in need of repair, such that a good running one can be made out of the two, plus,  you will have your own spare parts inventory, well sorta. Keep us posted when choosing scraps  and ask questions, no $  charge for advice.  No shortage of help and advice here, we'll work with you till your rebuild one ticks happy and accurate. Regs
