I purchased this Accutron new in 1969 and purchased the gold band in 1971 from Corrigans in Dallas, Texas. The tuning fork hums perfectly and it keeps good time. The gold content is 54 grams and was valued at $985 in August, 2013. Contact me for additional information and photos. jcw77@me.com
Agreed, better pictures of the front case & dial will help, it looks to have the roman numerals on the bezel from the picture and markers on the dial, the movement is probably a 2182 because of the stem position, most were with the day/date.
It looks like it has a date stamp under the case serial number but I can't make it out...
You would have had to purchase this later than 1959, because the Accutron didn't come out till 1960/61 and the 218 movement came out in the later 1960's...
Looks like my watch is a lot better than my camera. I'll try for better pictures and I'll ask a jeweler to open the back for another photo. Old Ticker says he sees something under the case serial number. It actually says, "MD" and below that is "14 KT. GOLD CASE".
