[Leica] who repairs bullova accutrons?

[joelct at singnet.com.sg (Joseph Low)]

              I doubt you will get it repaired - the Accutron was the first
electronic
              Watch to wow the watch market - appearing in 1960 and for a
few
              years after that

              I suspect the circuitry has failed due to age and
deterioration of the
              "tuning fork" system

              Keep it as a collectior' item -  or check with Bulova
              Corpn - they are still in business

this is, i'm sure you'll all agree, perfectly germaine to the discussion of
leica's.

in 1965 when my parents got married, my mother gave my father a bullova
accutron 216 (SS case, single window). he wore this watch until about 1985
when one day it quit working. he went through a bunch of timex's and last
month became the happiest person on earth when my mother gave him one of
those "accurate to within a billionth of a second because it's set by
nuclear clocks" thingies. yesterday he called to say his accutron was in the
mail to me.

so i need to get it fixed. it's not the battery. where do i send it and what
type of fountian pen should i use when i write the check?

thanks

kyle

(p.p.s. the real question is: if my accutron was a camera, what camera would
it be?)
