Watch Description

a 1965 accutron stainless I purchased on ebay for about $50 and then had it serviced a few months ago, not sure the model style or number but the dial is beautiful and looks so different under altering light conditions, added a nos spediel valencia band but I have many nos stainless bands so it might be changed later, there is always a band that just looks right on a watch and its not often the one you would think, re phased for a 1.55v battery recommend a silver oxide type,  most likely original crystal and hands,  did not know it would look this good tho  

classic
really sharp looking color

Nominating the Bulova Accutron Calendar "A" due to non-lume hands and dal. The "B" is the same watch wth lume hands and dial.

thanks for the info, quite an expensive watch back then roughly 2k in todays money so I did ok with the watch costing a total of about $200  

thanks again for the picture, I like seeing those dealer pictures

ok I see the price is for gold so the stainless would likely go for $50 less there abouts, still a beautiful watch

Sorry, I'm going to reopen this entry as the "A" variant doesn't match the actual watch.

I think I found the correct variant. The "AM". See watch labelled 'C" which states 'Stainless steel"

You were correct to suggest the stainless steel version being $50 less than the $200 yellow gold version. The above advert shows the "AM" sold for $150.
