And that is why I'll never even attempt to work on mine.

1970 rail road approved 214. The 24 hour dial makes me think it was originally for the Canadian market.

Where have all the hummers gone? Long time passing! Where have all the numbers gone. Now we know! I’ll never boast about my meagre collection, ever again!

A couple of others that are not pictured above. I haven't bought or restored any in 2+ years now as I have found my collection has matured enough that I have no desire to add to it, lost interest in the eBay game, and generally only buy and restore actual known Accutron models, mainly pre-1963 but I have a few dated later than that. I guess I am a preservationist of early known Accutron models and not just a watch collector/ accumulator.

1963 Accutron Model 559 in 14kt Yellow Gold in case 2409.


All three of my 14kt Gold Spiral Lug Spaceviews are in case 2319.



1967 Swiss Chapter Ring Accutron Style # 21263 in case 316-5.

The very first hugely successful railroad approved wrist watch. The Hamilton 505 Railroader Electric may have been earlier, but it was a dismal failure! This 214 model came to me in as new condition, and is from 1966, (not 1964 as shown).

I have a dilemma! I like all the posts, so rather than to like each individual post, I’ll I like them ALL!
