Also I just had a though: the original manufacturing machine for the Accutron index wheels was deliberately destroyed, and the exact manufacturing process was already a company secret (also I'd bet clone manufacturers like Citizen were supplied with index wheels by Bulova).

But the documentation, and maybe even the machinery used by Slava may still exist even today. Some Accutron nut with enough funds can maybe hunt down Slava's old equipment and start low-volume production of some index-wheels.

Though Slava's Accutron was reverse engineered and not licensed, so who knows if it'll even fir in American/Japanese/Swiss Accutrons.
