ACCUTRON REPAIR 214 & 218
ACCUTRON SPACEVIEW REPAIR ACCUTRON ASTRONAUT REPAIR ACCUTRON SERVICE & ACCUTRON RESTORATION
From Bob...
There's a reason why some Accutron repairers don't list their prices. Once you have their estimate in hand I promise you'll know why but you will already have spent money on their diagnosis fee when you realize that $600 to $1200 or more is far too much to spend on your Accutron's repair since most can be accomplished with a standard $210 service for 214 and $245 for 218 models. I do not charge a diagnosis fee as a competitor does. It only takes a couple of minutes to determine what is needed. My client base currently includes 18 countries and every state in the U.S. When another site gives you a price for service, you will find out when you try them that that service fee is only the tip of the iceberg. They will give you a list of parts needing to be replaced getting you up quite high on repair costs. And when they say they purchased all of Bulova's Accutron parts, it isn't true because I know the gentleman who did years ago before passing. He was known as the Accutron Man. Also, when they say they don't charge a fee for restoration of case components like the case back, battery hatch or crown, it isn't true either because they build that into the overall cost of the repair and that's why their quotes always end up being in the $1000 plus range. I've seen many quotes they had given in writing to customers who didn't want to pay that much who then sent their Accutron to me for repair. Here's a copy of one of their estimates...something you wouldn't want to see...an $1800 repair...Seriously, $16 for a screw and $485 for a coil?
And when they say they are recommended by Bulova for Accutron repairs, that isn't true either. See for yourself. Give Bulova a call and you will discover that they recommend me.
Here's Bulova's repair department's phone number...800-233-3350.
Feel free to call or email. Sometimes, depending on how many Accutrons are currently in for repair, it may take me a day or two to reply but I will always get back to you.

If your Accutron or Tuning Fork or Mechanical or Quartz watch has quit working properly or hasn't been serviced in a while you've come to the right place for watch repair. We can fix any Accutron watch no matter how stubborn. We also fix complex Chronograph watches and Pocket watches. In fact, Major OEM watch companies and Jewelry Stores have recommended us for the service of conventional and tuning fork watches which they no longer service. We are also the high-quality but affordable alternative to costly OEM servicing. While your watch is here we will treat it with the same care and concern that you have as the owner. We will clean, lubricate and adjust your watch so it works again, keeps accurate time, and avoids excessive wear.
Have a Rolex and are tired of paying $800+ for basic service? We offer a 2-yr warranty at less than half that cost with superior service and reliability. Every part is meticulously cleaned, lubricated, and adjusted for optimal service. Our service includes a two-year warranty for proper time-keeping. Timing for Accutron and Tuning Fork watches is adjusted to within ± 2sec/day or better. Conventional watches are adjusted for timing, amplitude, beat error, and position. Timing is targeted to +/-10sec per day depending on movement design capability. Watch case restoration is also available from our expert metalsmith. Free estimates are available prior to service. Basic service includes all cleaning, adjustments, precise long-lasting lubrication, crystal polishing, timing, case cleaning, band adjustments, and the 2-yr warranty. How long has it been since your watch was serviced? Tuning Fork Watches
Although we fix all types of watches, the remarkable tuning fork index mechanism of the Accutron works well only when it is properly phased and adjusted. The jeweled index fingers must have the proper force pushing against the index wheel and they must have the proper orientation with the index wheel and each other. If not, poor time keeping, stopping, or rapid time gaining will result. There are 9 separate and precise adjustments required for the index mechanism alone. Once the index mechanism is fixed, fine adjustments in time keeping can also be made by adjusting fork frequency.
