Yes it has the fork second hand.  Not sure if it was original or a dealer installed upgrade.

The non-rotating Bezel Ring with roman numerals is very rare. I believe this ring can be removed which holds the high dome crystal with locking ring.  So a crystal replacement must at all costs be done by a professional.  Heirlooms found are everywhere with old Accutrons, most don't know what they have. I have actually received in my shop 214 and 218s with original factory installed mercury batteries.   

Great find, but if you ever sell it for a huge profit maybe a good idea to donate part of your profits back to your church?  

Just a thought

Thanks JV.   I have no plans on selling this watch.  The sale was not a church sale but a sale at a church parking lot.  That being said I am quite generous and make every effort to earn good karma.  I do need to read out to you soon as I have a few Accutrons that need service.
