Bulova Accutron Repair and Restoration is our SPECIALTY including Accutron case repair, re-plating services and dial or chapter-ring restoration.  We receive approximately 1,000 vintage Accutron 214, 218 and 2242 (AccuQuartz) model watches each year.  Bulova has been recommending Old Father Time for their vintage Accutron repair since 1995.  Oh, and when the owner of Bulova Corporation needed his personal vintage watch repaired, it was sent to Old Father Time.
That's why we've been
"The Authority on Accutron Repair" since 1995.

Vintage Bulova Accutron Watch Repair
Our staff of watchmakers is highly skilled and is either a Certified or Master watchmaking professional.  We've received specific Accutron repair training from Bulova's Master Watchmakers and Trainers many years ago.  Our watchmakers attend continuing education classes either at AWCI or WOSTEP every year.

Because of our relationship with Bulova, we've purchased their remaining New/Old Stock of all vintage 214 & 218 Series Accutron Repair parts.  Within a few days of receiving your Accutron, we'll provide a detailed estimate for repair.  All estimates are in written form and are sent by either email or postal mail, whichever you request.

Our Accutron Repair Process:

We provide a Mail In Accutron Repair Form for your convenience.  Once your watch arrives, it is locked in a secured location with fire and theft monitoring 24/7/365.  Within 4-5 days following arrival, a skilled Accutron Repair watchmaker will diagnose your Accutron and we'll provide a detailed, written evaluation with instructions on how to proceed.  We accept many forms of payment including Personal Check, Credit/Debit Cards & E-Check.  Payment is not processed until we have a clear shipping date for your Accutron.  At that time, you'll be notified that we expect to ship your Accutron within the next 7010 days.  We'll notify you again when your Accutron is packaged for shipment, AND provide Tracking information.  We then ship repaired Accutrons by 2nd Day Federal Express with special Jeweler's Insurance for high-value items.

Unlike many repairers, we charge No Additional Fees for restoration of indivudual Accutron Case backs, pushers, crowns, or battery door components & locking rings.  When we quote "case restoration", the price is all-inclusive.  (If you add the hobbyists' costs for all the various components of an Accutron case, you'd far exceed our cost for case restoration.)

Read about Reasons to Choose Old Father Time over any hobby internet repairer.

 

Since Bulova called Old Father Time
to purchase their remaining Vintage Accutron Repair parts inventory, it gives us quite an advantage when repairing or restoring these great tuning fork timepieces "CORRECTLY".  We're able to use new/old stock parts instead of cannibalizing one 50-year-old Accutron to repair Another.

HOBBYISTS...
will typically scour the internet hawking their need for old, used components to install in YOUR watch.
Every week we receive Accutrons for re- repair that a hobbyist has ruined.  Usually the Accutron owner is so upset that they refuse to contact the hobbyists again to remedy the problems.
When we receive these Accutrons, we find all sorts of incorrect or missing parts, wrong procedures in assembly, etc. -- most were never even cleaned.
We're now receiving so many of these "hobbyist" jobs that, depending on the severity of the issues, our watchmakers are reluctant to offer to repair them.
However, it's difficult not to sympathize with the Accutron owner's situation.  After all, they were promised "expert" Accutron repair, with genuine Accutron OEM parts, and claims of "quality" services...
and all for
cheap, cheap prices...
Right!.

We offer many types of Accutron Case repair and re-plating services along with authentic Accutron Spaceview Crystals in our repairs.  We use only factory-correct, new/old stock Accutron components or newly manufactured factory Accutron parts (as in the case of crystals), from Bulova.  As a Bulova Accutron Authorized Dealer and Service Provider, we're able to offer many authentic Accutron repair components not available anywhere else.  It's important that your Accutron watch be repaired by a competent, professional watchmaker, with the correct parts, tools, equipment and training.

Unfortunately, coils are now in very short supply.  For that reason, we install them only in watches receiving our "Full Restoration".  Luckily coils are needed in only a small percentage of the Accutron repairs we perform.
