Watch Description

Tuning Fork at 12:00, but then numbers everywhere they're supposed to be.  It is very similar to the 222 that I uploaded a while back, and I think it's the same, but different year.  

I'm interested in your thoughts.  It feels like the case is smaller, but that just may be some odd placebo, and they're the same size.

Thank you for posting your watch.  This is a 1966 Bulova Accutron "400" according to the 1967 Bulova Linebook. Noting it originally had an alligator leather strap.

Thank you for the information.  This is fascinating.  From what I can tell, the 66 (this one, the "400") and the 63 (the other one I've uploaded "222") are practically the same watch.  I guess the lugs are different.  I'm curious if the 222 was made any other years beside 63?

The Accutron "222" has a different case and dial.
