Watch Description

Neat Accutron 214 off eBay

Seems to be a Model 410 to Spaceview conversion? or potentially Railroad of some kind.

10KT gold-filled bezel, genuine replacement crystal.

From Williams watch and clock shop, Richmond.

Seems to have been a teaching watch, for students of the trade, as I understand it. No prior history.

Forgot to mention - Case looks the same as the other "410" listed under '64 by agates. 

Agates' watch has what seems to be the original dial and crystal, though.

Also, Spaceview B crystal, which I think looks good on this watch.

I think you are right about a conversion.   1964 Bulova Accutron Spaceview is how I would classify it.

Thanks. I messed up on what crystal ref number is on this watch, but (imo) its hard to find the right one :/

I'm not sure how up to date this list is, but at one point this was the known list of true Accutron Spaceview case model numbers.

Your 2548 is certainly close to the known 2547. Alas no matching entry in the Accutron Watch guide.

For the purposes of an ID, we typically say SpaceView, noting the likelihood of it being a later conversion.
