Bulova Accutron Diver
Welcome to the all-diver edition of eBay Finds! We’re starting off with a bang with this vintage 1969 Accutron Deep Sea. There are many Accutron diver models, but I think this one is the most clean and classic. The unpolished 40mm steel case had a bold look, and is in excellent condition with sharp edges and the original finish. The back has a personalized engraving. The black crosshair dial has a Submariner style lume layout and looks new! The lume filled steel hands are clean as well, and the arrow tipped hour hand is a great touch. The oversized crown is correct and signed with the Accutron logo. Even the crystal looks original, with the correct internal date magnifier window. The steel bracelet is a period correct, but the end pieces don’t fit the lugs right. As for the tuning fork movement, the seller states it works and keeps time.
