Please post a color photo of the watch as your first photo in the future as it becomes the thumbnail for your watch. I am in favor of a generic Accutron for this one.

1965 Bulova Accutron is a good match. Interestingly I cannot find this case anywhere. Has anyone seen this one before? Regarding conversions, Accutron cases were used for multiple models including Spaceviews and dialed watches. When the case is a known Spaceview case there is no way to determine if a watch is original or a conversion, so we always default to Spaceview. Until we find an ad showing this case in a factory Spaceview it defaults to the basic description which in this case is Bulova Accutron. You most certainly can call it a Spaceview Conversion but for our purposes we default naming based on our ID process. We have over 600 unknown and lots of "generic" models and as we find new ads to ID them, we do update our IDs of unknowns and generic classifications. If you are able to find a Spaceview with this case, please add it to this watch and it will trigger it to be reviewed and commented on.
guess its not a 'space view' 😆 glad the one naysayer got their way

nayyyy nayyyyy - and you wonder why people keep leaving this place and only use it to find info rather than participating, posting and sharing well I am done here for good, thanks
To clarify why this watch was not ID'd as an Accutron Spaceview 'conversion'.
The watch was presented to the myBulova.com panel without all the neccessary key components required for it to be considered a Spaceview 'conversion'. The missing component is a correct Spaceview crystal. Without a Spaceview crystal we cannot in all fairness ID as a conversion.
If this watch was to be presented again with a correct Spaceview crystal the panel would be happy to revisit the ID.
