My dad purchased a Bulova Astronaut in 1967. I remember his wearing it a lot as a pilot in the Air Force. The watch has some wear but it is in fairly nice condition.
It has not worked is many years. As I cleaned out his house I found the watch and I sent it to be repaired back in January on this year. I finally got it back today. It is working and looking great.
It is a 1967 Accutron 214 with the bullet style band. This is just a quick iPhone photo.
I will not wear it very often but I will remember him every time I do.
I am sure he had it on for this picture back when it was new.
The watch repair guy said it is worth between $1,000 to $1,600 but it is not for sale at any reasonable price. For enough cash I will sell anything. No one will offer me enough to sell it.
The only reason I am posting this is I came to the brain trust for advice on where the send it. I sent it to a place called Boomertime. They did just what we discussed and I am happy.
