Very nice Bulova. Easy to read and its hard to imagine it was salvaged from the photo above. That is the first Accutron band I have seen like mine. The clasp looks different, but it might have just been the photo. Was that on ebay?

Thank for the link. I would like to know what that band sold for. Its the exact same as mine. Keep looking, another might turn up. I paid $3.99 for a # 344 battery for my Mark II at Batteries Plus and I see they want $15.50. I get my 387S batteries at Radio Shack. They are ready to go for a 214 movement. I like my prices better!!

Bill, I never bought anything from oldfathertime. Seems prices are mighty retail on everything. The Accutron Astronaut Bullet Bracelet listed is a bit steep at $1,050.

Wayne, Surprisingly, the case is real nice and the watch runs really well. I have a few round Bulova watches that I suspect they were made in the late 50s and early 60s. This is one of them. Most are all similar looking to me. Is there anyway to date them?

Illinois, Andover c1932-I sent the watch back to the seller to fix (couldn't wind the movement without vice-grips ). After the fix the seller took the watch to a post office for shipping. The tracking shows that it arrived at a Sacramento post office & disappeared.
