As you know, Bulova has continued to trade on the "Accutron" name on some of it's watches since ceasing production of the true Accutron tuning fork movements in 1977. Many folks - both sellers and buyers - get confused when the see the name "Accutron Quartz" and believe they have a tuning fork Accutron movement. Many folks don't have a clue what an "Accuquartz" is. If you see a 2-letter Day wheel, it is not a tuning fork movement - unless you have a caliber  2303 or 2313 tuning fork movement, which was the only tuning fork movement Bulova produced with a 2-letter date wheel. Bulova's 230 Series Service Manual  displays 3-letter Day wheels but they never produced them that way. Accuquartz and Accutron Quartz - two totally different movements.

That is a beautiful quartz movement in the watch above!

BTW, I have an Accuquartz watch that is more accurate than my Precisionist!
