Watch out on eBay. Before I tell you about this watch, a class on yellow dots. They were built in only M3, or 1963. The case was designated B case, or more commonly known as a "turtle" case. This was the only year and the only case. If you look through the front closely you will see 3 wires going to the coil. (If you see 2, that coil was not made by now.) The crystal had a special yellow and is being reproduced by Clark out of California, as well are the hands. However, the yellow is different on the crystal, and the hands are completely painted. A true yellow dot does not have paint on the second hand at the very center of the hand. (Very difficult to see.) There were only two bands made for the yellow dot: JB and Kreisler. The preferred is Kreisler "Coffinlink." The watch was considered a failure, therefore very few were ever produced. This watch has correct hands, coil, crystal, NOS JB Band, M3 Turtle case, is in museum condition (with the exception of 2-3 tiny scratches on the case) and has been overhauled. The best of the best. If you're an Accutron collector, you must have one. |
