This model is highly sought after by Bulova collectors for its unique design that is so evocative of the early 1970's. Although the watch was produced not using real wood, Bulova instead used a faux wood with a rosewood texture since a lot of watches with wood would break down over time. Even then, it's incredibly difficult to find a Woody in pristine condition since the faux wood does peel off with time. The dial on this watch has also patinated into a beautiful bubble galaxy pattern that I have not seen before on this model. **INFO** Model: Accutron Date and Day "CD" Reference: 22508-6Y Year: 1974 Dial Color: Black Style: Dress Bracelet: Original Duchess USA Made 10K G.F. Milanese Strap w/ Faux Wood Inserts. Sizing: Fits up to 8" Wrist Box: Yes (Inner Box & Outer Box) Papers: Empty Warranty Card & User Manual Other Accessories: Price & Info Hang Tags, and Accutron Microfiber Cloth **WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW** The previous owner of this watch purchased this watch from a business friend who worked at bulova for some time. The condition of the case is great, the case does have hairline scratches with only noticeable dings on the 1 o'clock lug and at the 3 o'clock side of the case. The faux wood bezel insert looks great with only a couple of scratches at 9 o'clock and, what appears to be, a paint stain at 10:30. It is worth noting that the case has patinated into a darker gold tone compared to the bracelet. There are also 2 faint scratches on the acrylic crystal which can be polished off at the will of the buyer. The bracelet is in immaculate condition with only slight patination at the end of the long side of the bracelet. Most likely due to use. It appears that the original bracelet was swapped at some point for a new Bulova bracelet but it is correct for this model. The warranty papers are completely intact but are not filled out. This was a common occurrence in a lot of jewelry stores and still is to this day and due to this, there is no real way to verify that these are the original warranty papers. It is worth noting that the inner and outer box, as well as the papers and hang tags are correct for the era. With all of this, and the word of the previous owner, we can confidently assume the packaging is original to the watch. **DIMENSIONS** Case Size: 37.5mm Lug Width: 18.0mm Lug to Lug: 40.4mm Thickness: 11.3mm **MATERIALS** Case Material: 10K Rolled Gold Plated Bezel Material: Faux Wood Case Back Material: 0K Rolled Gold Plated & Stainless Steel Bracelet Material: 10K Gold-FilledCrystal: Bubble Acrylic Crystal Luminescence: None **MOVEMENT** Manufacturer: Bulova Caliber: Accutron 218 Country: USA Movement Type: Tuning Fork with Day & Date Indicator Jewels: 15 Battery Life: \~8 Months I’m asking for **$1,500** or the best offer for this Full Set beauty.
