Hello all, I just joined this forum today as I was doing some research on a few Boluva Accutrons (3) that have been passed down to me. One is a N0 214 Railroad Approved, one is a N3 218 w/day/date, and one is a L8 model of which I cannot determine what it is. I haven't decided if I will sell these or begin a new hobby. I would like to have them appraised or possibly restored. I live in Alabama. The closest large cities are Huntsville and Birmingham. Does anyone know of someone close that maybe I could take these to for an appraisal. Thanks

Another very good method would be to look for comparable watches on ebay.
One of the many reasons why we like Accutrons is that they are quite affordable. I can tell you already that the L8 is not a tuning fork watch and it's value is strictly utilitarian.
