Beautiful watch, I have a 1974 gold plated Accutron with the same dial.
I am well aware that the conventional wisdom says that 1965 was the first year for the 218 but I own a 1964 218. I can't seem to post pictures here but OliverB has seen pictures of it on another forum.
I have never seen evidence of solid gold Accutron with a metal bracelet that wasn't a part of the case except the Model C Astronaut.
Bulova didn't make their own solid gold cases,it would appear that they may have stockpiled them, so it's not unusual for a solid gold case to contain a later dated movement. Oliver could expand on this point.
