I picked this up at the GTG the other night - what an interesting piece. I was told it’s a Franken-watch with railroad guts and some other case. I’m stunned at how smooth the movement is. Still looking to find out more about it.
This is it!

That's cool. The case reminds me of a Radiomir with thicker lugs, though obviously smaller.

It’s small and the 18mm lugs don’t help. I think, it’ll be a fun GTG watch if my wife doesn’t steal it.
Amazing how smooth it runs.

Very cool! I have two Bulova accutrons with the same case back.
One from 1968 and one from '69.
Mine make that one look big

True that. I have a Bulova hand winder from the 50s, and it's tiny. It was my dad's, watches were just smaller back then.

I have a 1960 accutron, the first of them. Cool little watches.
