Accutron Astronaut Repair - Vintage Accutrons are All We Service

Bulova Accutron Astronaut Repair

By Professional Accutron Watchmakers

Vintage Bulova Accutron Astronaut 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 & 224 Series Accutron Repair parts. Within a few days of receiving your Astronaut, 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 Astronaut Repair Process:

A Mail In Repair Form is provided for your convenience. It's an online form that can be filled out on your screen, then printed and packaged with your Astronaut. (See "Packaging & Shipping" suggestions below.) Once your watch arrives, it is locked in a secured location with fire and theft monitoring 24/7/365. Within 4-5 business days following arrival, a skilled Accutron Repair watchmaker will diagnose your Accutron and we'll provide a detailed, written evaluation with clear instructions on how to proceed. Estimates are normally sent by email on the Wednesday following arrival of your package.

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 7-10 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. This is the only shipping method we use for repaired/restored Accutrons. You'll want to read our full Accutron Repair Warranty information.

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 for Your Astronaut Repair over any hobby repairer

Since Bulova called Old Father Time
to purchase their remaining Vintage Accutron & Astronaut 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.

bulova accutron repair watchmakers
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!.

Genuine Bulova Accutron NEW/OLD Stock Parts Supply

Accutron Repair Form

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 Astronaut 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 Astronaut 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.

Bulova Accutron Astronaut Repair and Restoration
By Certified Watchmaking Professionals

The following may sound like gibberish, but it's designed primarily for search engines. It's all true, of course, but you'll recognize the word density. Apologies. Accutron repair is our specialty. We've been repairing Bulova Accutron Astronaut
watches for about 25 years. In a typical week we handle bulova accutron astronaut repairs, bulova accutron spaceview repairs, bulova 214 accutron repairs, bulova accutron 218 repairs, Accutron Accuquartz repairs, Accutron 2242 repair, Mark IV Accutron repair, Accutron Mark II Repairs, Accutron Spaceview repairs or general accutron watch repair. Accutrons of every style and variation are repaired and restored to their original beauty in our studio every day.

Bulova has trusted Old Father Time with vintage Accutron 214 and 218 repair and restoration for 25 years. Bulova contacted us when they decided to sell all their vintage accutron repair parts and accutron repair materials/Accutron Astronaut
repair equipment and Accutron Astronaut
repair tools. For that reason they continue to refer Accutron Astronaut
repair customers to OFT every day. They know that we have the new/old stock parts to correctly repair vintage Accutron Astronauts
s. Please review our accutron repair Reviews Page from customers who are enjoying their Bulova Accutron Astronaut
Tuning Fork watch again because of Old Father Time repair service.

We receive many Accutron Astronaut
watches in our studio for repair every week that have been mishandled by ists. Accutron Astronaut
repair is a delicate process requiring specialized knowledge, skills and equipment. Most often, hobbyists don't possess any of them. We are AWCI Trained Watchmakers. We've also been trained by Bulova Accutron Astronaut
Repair Trainers and Master Watchmakers many years ago. We do not employ hobbyists. We do not send your Accutron Astronaut
out to be repaired by someone else. We do not scrounge the internet looking for worn out parts from another Accutron Astronaut
to repair your Accutron Astronaut
. That doesn't make good common sense. It's a measure of desperation that hobbyists have to resort to.
