70's BULOVA ACCUTRON "WOODY" 10k ELECTRO PLATED DAY/DATE MEN'S WATCH w/ORIG BAND~KEEPS TIME. Item Is Pre-Owned; Item Is Sold "AS IS"; Shipped USPS Ground Advantage with Signature Confirmation.

Offered into auction is this one-of-a-kind vintage Bulova Accutron, lovingly referred to as the "Woody" by those who seek its possession and by those fortunate to own one. This timeless classic featuring a unique wood grained bezel complimented by rectangular wood inserts on a 10k gold filled band is unique in its style and elegance. Dated "N1", the gold plated case is in very nice shape notwithstanding surface marks in accordance with its age and use, as well as the occasional edge nick. Although finish loss is minimal, the buckle closure/clasp spring is weak and the band is not as tightly secured as I would like; repair or adjustment of the spring would be advisable. While the crystal appears to be original, it does have scratches which do not interfere with the viewing of the handsome brown and gold dial with elongated gold applied rectangular and Arabic hour markers and gold outer minuets track. A day/date window occupies the three o'clock dial position. Powered by the original 218 tuning fork movement, the timepiece sets and keeps good time with the day-date changing as it should. However, one hundred percent accuracy is not guaranteed, nor should it be expected. If optimal timekeeping is desired a cleaning and adjustment is always recommended.  


Please review all the pictures as they represent far more accurately the items condition than any verbal description that I can provide. In those situations where you are uncertain or unsure, ask questions, before bidding. Don't assume. Asking questions will ensure that you receive what you expect. Most if not all of the horological items which I present for auction are from watchmakers' estates which have been in storage for a number of years. Consequently, I have no details as to their prior history nor can I offer any information other than what has been gleaned from cursory observation.


Now for the boring stuff:


Please study the photographs closely as they are considered part of the description. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me prior to bidding. 


There are no refunds. I do not accept returns because you thought that it was something different, or you changed your mind. All items are deemed sold "AS IS" unless there is a material error in the description. In that rare event, an item may be returned for a full refund, minus shipping cost, if applicable. We do not offer, nor give partial refunds. The item must be returned in the same condition and with the same packaging and paperwork, if any, with which it was sent.


Payment is due within three days of auction end. Payments not received within four days will be reported to eBay as a non-payment. Your bid will thereafter be cancelled and the item relisted. 


International Bidders are Welcomed.
