Found a linebook for the 1964 Bulova Accutron "216". Lugs look correct.

Cool thanks.  What is a linebook?  AD price list?   Is that $87.95 wholesale and the $175 Retail ?

Correct. Linebooks were Bulova official inhouse catalogs showing the wholesale and retail prices. The panel has access to these for the purposes of helping ID these pre 1980 Bulova watches.

Now you have a bracelet to find....sorry about that :-)

oy.... I'm new at the watch game.  On a bunch of FB groups and Reddit which is how i ended up here.  What is the best way to seek an original band?  And besides trusting someone is there some what to verify?  Compare the pic above to whatever someone is offering?  And what migh expect to pay (if that is a permitted question.  Thanks again!

eBay will probably be your best place to try and find an original. It'll probably have the Accutron tuning fork logo and/or Accutron on the clasp. You could try and source a non original, but getting the end curviture correct might be a factor.
