A 1970 railroad approved Accutron, with the original hummer under the hood, the 214 movement.

 

I am very fond of tuning fork watches. While they are electric, the technology is differnt from Quartz and has a kind of school / analogue charm. I have a couple of them, a few also sold. I particularly like the Eternasonic.

If you buy from a good seller, who offers a warranty, you should be fine. Just check the same as on mechnical watch, like all functions are operating correct, timekeeping, and of course the originality and condition of dial, hands, case, crown, caseback and movement.

Best,

Stefan

 

Just to add to the above, the pricing may reflect more than just a service. If the example one is looking at has had the often damaged plastic date wheel replaced (with a new metal part), or repaired or replaced coils then you’re looking at years of trouble-free operation.
And, always ask/check the date wheel turns through every date and note that there is currently no metal replacement wheel for the cal. 1260 day/date models.

 

This just in from Ohio...
