Accutronitis Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) The first all stainless steel Accuton Astronaut, 1962 Bulova Accutron Astronaut "X-15" ! This rare Astronaut is all factory original with the exception of the crystal and the hand set which was replace with a factory original hand set P/N WS-25 which is the correct hand set for this model, The reason i call this watch the "X-15" is because of one of the ways it use advertised by Bulova in 1962 but more on that later, Let's take a look at the 1962 Astronaut.... More than a few people that are unfamiliar with this very rare model have tried to say that this watch "has the wrong hands" but that simply is incorrect as can be shown by the many Bulova adverts for 1962 which includes this Bulova factory sales card that was only given to authorized Bulova dealers.... And as this 1962 factory hand set list clearly show the white spade hand set on the list of the only hand sets for the Accutron 214 that were available in 1962 and frankly if the hand set isn't on this list then simple didn't exist ! The "white spade hand set" p/n WS-25 was almost certainly lifted from the Bulova Timer Labs aerospace clocks and timers which had been using the same part numbered hands for many years prior to their use for one year on the 1962 Accutron Astronaut... The white spade hand set was all set to be used on this Bulova prototype but it was never put into production..... Here are some of the Bulova ads all dated to 1962, It's a fact that every Bulova factory picture that dates back to 1962 clearly shows the white spade hand set and one more distinguishing feature is the factory dial which only says "Accutron" on the dial and lacks the white "dots" between the hour marks and were only added after 1962.... Here is a more close up and detailed view of this 1962 Astronaut's movement, It's a 214HN with a date code of M2 (1962).... Now back to the "X-15" desigation i have personally given to this watch (Bulova never called this watch the "X-15") I call this the X-15 watch because of one of the ways Bulova advertised it back in 1962 and is shown in these 1962 date adverts.... And these 1962 Accutron Astronnaut can been fairly clear on the wrists of the X-15 pilots as seen in these pictures.... Plus record-setting watch band can be seen in those pictures of the X-15 pilots and talked about in this newspaper article.....

Guest FakeFinder Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 Might have known that a guy who tries to pass off a fake 1962 Astronaut as genuine would post it on here. How is your site, WatchTalkWorld doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FakeFinder Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 Just letting folks know the real you. Perhaps I could post links to the whole web page where you admit for the first time that you made up those hands yourself? I like how you have changed your story about the hands in this thread, it is different to the original one on WTF or NAWCC, especially the thread you started on WTF about the hands, where you claimed they were completely original to the watch. You even admitted it was a fake watch when you said "okay let's say I was duped and it is a fake". Here is a grab (genuine like ALL of my screen grabs) of you admitting for the first time those hands were made up by you. You even try to cover by saying "you already knew". Well yes, I did already know they were fake, but up until this post below, you had always denied it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accutronitis Posted December 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 Just like I said, This is a personal vendetta of yours, Why else would you be following someone around doing what you do with all that it is that you do just trying as hard as you can to try and compromise integrity using all the means I've mentioned to accomplish your petty and self-serving goals if this was really just about a watch ? As you've already admitted to you I've "poked the bear" over a year and a half ago and ever since you've been trying your best to make me pay, But unfortunately all your pettiness has accomplished is destroying any credibility you've ever had in the watch world, I sure hope it was worth it........ 29 minutes ago, FakeFinder said: Just letting folks know the real you.

Boy just look at you trying so hard to twist what I said into something anyone can see that it's not which is exactly why you've been banned at more sites more times than anyone could possible count, But you just never learn and undaunted you just make up a new name and push on, Your a real piece of work bobbee of that there is no doubt !

Accutronitis Posted December 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) "You even admitted it was a fake watch when you said" This is a perfect example of how you try to twist what I've said to fit your false narrative, Anyone and their horse can see that is what is called a hypothetical and it is in no way a admittance of anything, How does it not bother you how dishonest this sort of nonsense of your makes you look in the eyes of others, And the thing is this is not a once in a while kind of thing with you, It's a non-stop and all the time thing with you and there's no signs of you letting up with this sort of nonsense bobbee !
