Sorry Jim; I am inclined to agree with Stephen and Geoff. It's plausible that this may have been a school "final test" or something similar. Assemble a working watch from Bulova supplied parts using the Association dial to gain certification. It might also have been assembled from Bulova donated parts to award a member at a meeting of the Watchmakers Association. That would help explain the lack of serial number. Old stock unused case, never numbered for factory production. Pure speculation. Perhaps contacting the group webmaster of their web page would shed some light on the origin of the watch.

In any event it's very cool and an Accutron all the way. I personally have never seen anything like it.

1976 Accutron (for now)
