I just wanted to add an update:
Over the past couple of months, I have been been working with a watchmaker to restore the Alpha M1 to the correctly dated parts. Long story short, I got lucky (in a way) and purchased a 2nd Accutron Alpha case and this one is an M0. The1960 Accutron Alpha that I purchased had the original gold coin style dial. I abandoned the goal for the M1 and had the watchmaker repair back to working condition moved the dial to the M1, added NOS hands, and a NOS gold-tone Speidel honeycomb bracelet. The M1 looks amazing If you ask me. Now my long-term goal is to locate or find someone who can repair the 3 wire 1st gen coil to make the M0 a period-correct space view. I am placing the M1 up for auction at Catawiki. I have noticed 3 or four other 14K Alpha watches and feel that I may have better luck selling it at a different site.
