Anyone care to venture an opinion? I think the lettering looks a bit off?

Please ignore. I've found quite a few from the same year with the same style of font.

The dial seems correct at first sight, but the lettering is a bit strange, especially the 'V' in Bulova and the 'N' at the end of Accutron. One would need a sharper picture to say more.

What would also be of interest to see, is a picture of the movement.

Bulova was playing around a lot with the 'Accutron' or the Bulova logo in different places. I have a few of them and I am now concentrating only on 'no day/date' models. The tuning fork technique is what is fascinating, the day and date is rather trivial in this respect, with the disadvantage, that a lot of day/date disks are coming along worn or damaged, often caused by previous owners when setting at the wrong time.

On all the Bulova Accutrons I have, I can use the new 1,5 Volt cells without any problem. The old 1,35 Volt types are not commonly available anymore, which can cause problems with other tuning fork watches.

Original poster: please restore picture otherwise the thread is worthless (and will be removed). Please note that it is against forum regulations to edit posts substantially and change/affect the course of the discussion.

Sorry, I took the pic down as it was attracting too much attention to the eBay auction. It's mine now. I've probably paid far too much for a non-running watch!

I do see a crooked 'A' in Bulova but it could be a distortion in crystal. At first glance nothing struck me as off and the dial-if it was reworked-was done long ok. I would only want to see a pic from different angle of last A in BULOVA.
