ThE InFamous.
ThE Iconic.
ThE Historic.
ThE Most Important Timepiece in History.
ThE Accutron 214.
NOTHING else compares.
LONG before Omega hitched a ride... on the coattails of Accutron...
This was in Space.
In Satellites.
On Astronaut's wrists.
In Rockets.
Then Omega bought a ticket to ride...
No need to alter and stress the electronics on this beauty... thereby devaluing it!
This beauty starts right up... no need for the "Love Tap!"
Why "coat" the Coils... adding stress and trapping the windings and limiting movement?
70% of the Coil issues are on the Battery side (due to owners using incorrect batteries back in the day)... NOT the Component side!
Stop wasting time over-bidding Frankensteined FAKES, from the U.K., when you can have the genuine article.
Why buy an over "engineered" parts bin mess from a part-time "hobbyist" who throws together a multitude of parts?
Do you REALLY want to see Purple DOLLOPS when you look at your "Spaceview"?!?!
What value does that have now... much less in the future?! It'll be nothing more than what it is... an altered mess!
Invest in a Classic that you can be proud of... and that will retain value.
The last picture shows a small portion of my workshop and some of my watches and tools that I use.
NONE of these items are included in this listing!
I use the Mobius products that were specified by Bulova and I install new gaskets.
I work on these the Old School way.
I am not a Part Time Hobbyist doing this after my day job...
and I see no reason to alter these... it only decreases their value.
The goal is to get these right...
so that we can enjoy and preserve these Historic works of Horology/Engineering/Art.
SAVE the 214!
Be the ONLY one on YOUR block!

I just added a lume shot... the last picture.
The lume on this beauty is original... and as close to perfect as it gets!
