Correct me if I'm incorrect, but I was under the train of thought that all true SpaceViews of this nature had white hands that stood out from the movement. Could this be a conversion? It has the inner chapter ring. Accutron experts please chime in.

For USA made spaceview watched white would be correct BUT this watch is a Swiss made watch and the Swiss made watches had hands that matched the bezel color.

I can't quite make out from this one picture of the chapter ring if there is luinous paint at the 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock positions, if there is it's not an original factroy spaceview and it is most likely a conversion... 

And the hands are unlike any I've seen used on a Swiss spaceview but never say never with Bulova...

While we do not have a Spaceview in the dB with this style hands but I'm comfortable tagging ths one as SpaceView.
