Watch Description

N6 Accuquartz, 224 movement?  This watch has the faceted crystal, reflective brown/amber dial, and intriguing vertical striations.  This watch came to me with original case, owners book, and I am guessing original tuning fork signed bracelet.   Interesting comparison between mine and the one at https://mybulova.com/watches/1976-accuquartz-11847.  In comparing these two they have some unique differences.   1. They are both 1976 but based on S/N mine is older? J275969 vs the other one's T111222.  2. It appears inside of my case back it was hand edited in the factory to say "Use Genuine 247 Cell" instead of 218.  SO I am guessing this was a transition piece from the "tuning fork"?  Or this watch had a movement replacement at some point?  3. My movement looks quite different so I am wondering is it a 224 series or something else?  Looking forward to the group feedback.
