One part of my watch collecting hobby is to find period-correct boxes for the watches I buy. Sourcing boxes for my Accuquartz watches is more of a challenge than for the other Accutron calibers and years. I found this one on eBay and completed its purchase today. I think I will use it for my latest Accuquartz that I just received last week. My guess is that it housed a solid gold Accuquartz. I have yet to find an Accuquartz owner's manual.

This would look good in that case!!! Its on ebay now. 14 Kt Solid Gold. No pressure!!!

Lol, would be a shame to have that fancy box and not have the watch to go into it

Yeah, saw that. Its nice! We see movements only with that dial listed frequently on ebay. Seems like Bulova produced a high percentage of solid gold Accuquaryz watches and many must have been melted down. I have a couple myself. That watch would look nice in that box but I'm taking a break from collecting for a while. Already have a nice GP Accuquartz settled into the new box.

Looks perfect, thanks for sharing.

How many grams of 14kt gold is in one of these AccuQuartz watches?

The 14kt example sure looks like it has a big sturdy and heavy case in the picture posted above.


And, is the dial 14kt gold?
