Depends on the weight of the watch and weahter it's solid gold or rolled/filled gold.
Gold filled cases are not worth much, they are plated and to difficult to separate gold from other metals. I have an 18kt solid gold accutron and the case and back stripped of all other parts is 19.2 grams
Bulova has been making Accutron watches since the 1960's. Bulova claims their lasted line of watches to be the most accurate with their new External Fine Adjustment System (EFAS) Technology. Although an accutron watch is highly accurate, it is not 100% accurate. With the new EFAS technology, watch owners can adjust their watches to 99.99% accuracy.
An Accutron watch can be bought at shops that sell Bulova watches, for example, Macy's and Sears. It can also be bought online at sites like eBay, iiNet, watchco, etc.
Yes, Bulova Accutron watches are fantastic watches! They are very modern as well as attractive and the quality is top notch for the price. To be frank though, I have been rather disappointed with new Accutrons because they lack the tuning fork, which during the 60's and 70's made the watches so iconic. I would suggest to you that instead of purchasing a new accutron, you instead take a look at a vintage Accutron Spaceview or Astronaut. The spaceview has an open movement, which makes it so much more exciting as a watch. The price for a pristine, freshly serviced watch should cost no more than most new Accutrons and the value of the vintage watches only go up!
Bulova invented the Accutron tuning fork watch movement. Noo winding, no ticking and unsurpassed accuracy, untill the Japanese invented the quartz movement.
You can find out how much a Bulova watch is worth on Amazon. The prices range from $60.00 to $500.00. The Bulova brand is a very expensive but durable pick.
Bulova was created in 1875.
When Bulova innovated the tuning fork-based timekeeping mechanism, it was the most accurate timekeeping mechanism to date. Bulova built much fame and fortune on it. The logo represents this tuning fork. If you ever look at photos of the innards of a Bulova watch, you can see the logo is identical to this tuning fork.
