I picked this up at a junk shop for $5. So I'm thinking with the date code of N4 that this is a 1974. My concern is do you think this is authentic. I'm curious as to the Red Second Hand. I know some of these were made after the railroad additions in the early 70's. Can anyone verify what I have here? Thanks!

Great link. Caveat Emptor on possibility of painted hands, and the link to the case numbers table is useful.

Cool watch hog, especially for a fiver. Accutron Spaceview is most likely what we're going to classify it. As you may know, thousands of Accutron were converted to Spaceview over the years. Some were done right at the point of original sale and others after the fact. The link that jabs inserted above is a page that can help determine if it's original or conversion, including the factory list of original Spaceview case numbers (yes, yours IS on the list). At the end of the day I'm not sure you can ever be positive. Either way.....it's $5 right? Great snag!
