I'm unable to find anything on this except for 1 ad on this site that leads me to believe this is the spaceview d with the optional traditional face and crystal instead of the see through design.

Not a Spaceview but a Bulova Accutron 551.

Looks to be an exact match except for the 14kt gold case.    The 541 has a gold case but a baton dial.  Generic 1961 Bulova Accutron

I basing my comment on the photo from the linebook showing a distinct point at the bottom of the case beneath the "6". I don't see that in the subject watch.

Snoman - will you please remove the strap on the bottom of the case and add a photo to your listing? Thank You

I think the point is there, we just can't see it very well in the pictures.

Actually, the registration card tells us exactly what it is......It's an Accutron "551".

Also, the owner stated "Accutron style #25017" which is a match for the "551".

Wow you are all amazing.  The point at 6 o clock is there. It just didn't show up in the pictures.  Thank you all for your help!   I got a battery in it the other day and it's running perfectly!
