For sale is my cherished 1974 Bulova Accutron Railroad Approved on original Accutron bracelet.  It just isn't getting any wrist time and I am not a collector, so it should go to a good home hand6.gif



Date coded N4, this is a caliber 214 tuning fork back set hacking movement, only available on the RR Approved and Astronaut models.  I bought this a few years ago from Accutron collector Bob Piker after a full restoration.



The condition is excellent for its age, especially the dial.  There is no fading of the red 24 hour track which is very common on these dials.  I would rate it an extremely conservative 89% TZ because it runs a bit slow off the wrist though it keeps good time while I am wearing it.  Also, the bracelet is exceptionally comfortable and really complements the watch.



I paid over $500 3 years ago, selling for $350 shipped USPS Priority insured CONUS, PayPal no fees.

PM me here or send email to zippofan at yahoo dot com.  I get PM's faster though.

Thanks for looking!
