·I'm a new member and thought I would post my Accutrons. The first is a 1971 Accutron, Then a 1965 Astronaut, and a 1974 Accuquartz. All on original straps/bands. The 65 and 74 are original owner/family watches. The 71 I found in 1974 outside a bank!
That is a very sharp bullet bracelet on the Astronaut, very nice!

If you are insisting on getting the Accutron repaired in your local area, the only repair close that I am semi-familiar with would be Starfindings (Ernie Goldman). I used them many years ago for 2-3 watches when they were downtown NYC but have moved to Jersey but that's still close enough. I would label them average but better than many that advertise greatness but nothing compared to a couple of true experts. I recall their warranty policy is good if you do have issues with the watch.

May i ask about the back plate which says, “gold electroplated bezel.” means it is a plated not solid gold case correct?.

Yes, assuming that the caseback is original to the watch. I believe that these doctor's watches were all sold gold. If I am correct the case is not original, or might it be possible to fit a plated caseback to gold case?
EDIT: I appear to be wrong as I have examples of gold plated Accutron doctor's watches:

·The condition looks so much newer but the dial doesn't say Bulova and looks like an M3 or M4.
I love those bracelets too. They feel substantial and are very comfortable. A nice pickup.
