This one is variant "203", we have several in the data base already, here's one example:

1960 Accutron 203

For some reason, they're real hard to find. Pretty much only collectors, and not lots of those, have them. Probably 'cause they didn't get famous/popular, not many were made (in 1960), and a lot of them got scrapped because those inlays contain a good amount of gold. I'd call them the poor man's really rare Accutron. It took me several years, and two different 1960 Asymmetrics w/inlays, to put this watch together. One had a good case, one had a good dial, etc. And then I still needed a new indexing mechanism. No longer having good enough eyesight for really small work, I sent everything off to Bob Piker at Mybob.net to get the case cleaned up, indexing mechanism installed, and everything put together into one watch. I traded him everything that was left over, plus one of my spare 214 coilsets, for the work, and he did a real good job. But I did keep a NOS coin dial, just in case I ever needed it. I'd LOVE to find a Black coin dial for it, though.
