Bulova Accutron 214 movement, Black dial that says "BULOVA ACCUTRON" below the 12 o'clock mark, just above the 6 o'clock mark it has the tuning fork logo in a box, just below the 6 o'clock mark it says "T SWISS MADE T" on the dial, It has no serial number on the back just the date code N7.
Nice watch, but is non-original dial.
Dial has been refinished. Maybe a change of hour and minute hands too.
"Accutron 214"
The reason I think it is non-original is the "T swiss T" on the dial.
That means it should be tritium illuminated on hands and dial, and it has neither.

[/quote]The dial hasn't been refinisted because i just found two more just like it.
This one is at mybob.net in his list of factory dials !
This one is in pretty bad shape.....

I know it's incorrect for the watch, i'm only talking about the dial apart from the watch, i'm just saying the dial it's self is factory original and hasn't been refinished, the one at mybob.net is identical to my dial, i understand what the two "T" stand for but i took my watch apart and inspected the dial very closely and i have to say i would wager $1,000.00 that just the dial it's self left the factory exactly as is unaltered and with the two "T" on it, why the two "T" are on it i have no idea but who ever said the way Bulova did some things always makes complete sense.....

It's a very unusual dial in that it is flat and does not get sandwiched between the movement and the case but instead it is in fact small enough to go by the lip that stops the movement from going any further into the case, i have found three dials the same as this one and only one of them is missing the fork logo in the box but they all have the "T" on the dials, very unusual and the only one of this type i have ever seen like this.

The dial was not refinished and it is for the Swiss made Accutron 214H watch with the raised chapter ring which accommodates the flat dial, Some of the Swiss made raised chapter ring watches had dials with the tuning fork logo and some did not ...
The raised chapter ring has luminous hour markers and the hands are also luminous...
That puts that to rest...
