Our Accutron Spaceview Repair Process:A Mail In Accutron Repair Form is provided for your convenience. It's an online form that can be filled out on your screen, then printed and packaged with your Accutron. (See "Packaging & Shipping" suggestions below.)

Within 4-5 business days following arrival, a skilled Accutron Repair watchmaker will diagnose your Accutron and we'll provide a detailed, written evaluation with clear instructions on how to proceed. Estimates are normally sent by email on the Wednesday following arrival of your package. We accept many forms of payment including Personal Check, Credit/Debit Cards & E-Check. Payment is not processed until we have a clear shipping date for your Accutron. At that time, you'll be notified that we expect to ship your Accutron within the next 7-10 days. We'll notify you again when your Accutron is packaged for shipment, AND provide Tracking information. We then ship repaired Accutrons by 2nd Day Federal Express with special Jeweler's Insurance for high-value items. This is the only shipping method we use for repaired/restored Accutrons. You'll want to read our full Accutron Repair Warranty information. Unlike many repairers, we charge No Additional Fees for restoration of indivudual Accutron Case backs, pushers, crowns, or battery door components & locking rings. When we quote "case restoration", the price is all-inclusive. (If you add the hobbyists' costs for all the various components of an Accutron case, you'd far exceed our cost for case restoration.)

Read about Reasons
to Choose Old Father Time for Your Accutron Spaceview Repair over any hobby repairer. | ||||||||||||
Since Bulova called Old Father Time to purchase their remaining Vintage Accutron Spaceview Repair parts inventory, it gives us quite an advantage when repairing or restoring these great tuning fork timepieces "CORRECTLY". We're able to use new/old stock parts instead of cannibalizing one 50-year-old Accutron to repair Another. bulova accutron repair watchmakers HOBBYISTS... will typically scour the internet hawking their need for old, used components to install in YOUR watch. Every week we receive Accutrons (Spaceviews in particular), for re- repair that a hobbyist has ruined. Usually the Spaceview owner is so upset that they refuse to contact the hobbyists again to remedy the problems. When we receive these Accutrons, we find all sorts of incorrect or missing parts, wrong procedures in assembly, etc. -- most were never even cleaned. We're now receiving so many of these "hobbyist" jobs that, depending on the severity of the issues, our watchmakers are reluctant to offer to repair them. However, it's difficult not to sympathize with the Accutron owner's situation. After all, they were promised "expert" Accutron repair, with genuine Accutron OEM parts, and claims of "quality" services... and all for cheap, cheap prices... Right!.

We use only factory-correct, new/old stock Accutron components or newly manufactured factory Accutron parts (as in the case of crystals), from Bulova. As a Bulova Accutron Authorized Dealer and Service Provider, we're able to offer many authentic Accutron repair components not available anywhere else. It's important that your Accutron watch be repaired by a competent, professional watchmaker, with the correct parts, tools, equipment and training. Unfortunately, coils are now in very short supply. For that reason, we install them only in watches receiving our "Full Restoration". Luckily coils are needed in only a small percentage of the Accutron repairs we perform.
