Picked up a "new" watch
 

Always had a soft spot for Accutrons (saw Glen's post and didnt wanna hijack it), and I just picked this up.

It's a totally custom "Spaceview" conversion, built off of a 224 Accuquartz movement. The 224 was a hybrid movement that combined quartz technology with the tuning fork technology. Essentially, the tuning fork is passive in this model, and acts as a stepper motor to drive it. Still hums like the 214's with a greater deal of accuracy.

This one was built with the chapter ring, etc.

I don't dig watches much, but I must say, that is the cat's ass

Wow..thats nice!
My daily is a thick chapter ring spaceview 214H.. and I should resuscitate the others..

What can I say.. I have a thing for Accutron hummer watches ;)

awesome! let's see a picture!

Very cool... Now I need to lean to slip a watch of someone's wrist without them noticing before I see you again...

Very cool, M. Does this replace the Heuer for DD duties?

i think so. i bought the heuer when i was 17 for my HS graduation present...been on my wrist for a loyal 15 years. it's still working perfectly, but thought id switch it up a bit. i just accepted a new job, and this bulova was a reward for myself, haha. (...couldn't pull the trigger on the Rolex Milgauss...as much as I wanted to!)

Here's my Spaceview:
