Accutron "Shut Off" Question

Submitted by Jimbo56 on
Forum topics

I have been collecting Accutron watches for a couple of years now and currently have 28 watches in my collection (it seems to be an addictive hobby).  Recently, I started collecting Hamilton electrics too, given their place in electric watch history. During my research on Hamilton watches, I read that they could be "turned off" or "shut off" by simply engaging (or disengaging as it may be) the hack function that stops the watch's function. My understanding is that this preserves battery life and wear/tear on the movement.

Accutron Deep Sea Bezel spring

I have an Accutron Deep Sea case number 702-1. The bezel is very loose. The spring is there but I think it has lost its shape. It is currently pretty tight against the case. Does anyone know if it should be spread out so it presses against the bezel? I was going to try spreading it but I did not want to break it.

I just received a vintage Bulova watch, to me it looks like Ambassador same style but it has engraved sides 21 jewels 10 BA movement. But I cannot find a photo of it on this site.

Just got this watch, and for the life of me, I can't crack the case. Tried multiple wrenches, but it won' budge. There does seem to be some gasket but it's not even. oping it's not x thread, but does look it.

Anyone familiar with this case.... Case Serial # is 1-274019.

 

thanks in advance
