Very cool!  I am no expert, but think this watch could be a conversion, as it does not have a chapter ring between the movement and crystal, like THIS ONE.. There are literally more conversion SpaceViews out there than factory produced. No matter, we classify all of them as SpaceView. Thanks for sharing.

That is interesting/curious.  In my life I have only ever seen a picture of one spaceview using this crystal and a chapter ring.  It had a lager case to accommodate the chapter ring.

I'm also leaning towards this being a conversion with the original dial removed and a NOS Spaceview crystal installed.

Here are 2 examples of how a Spaceview typically looks like and how this watch could have started life out as (bottom watch).

Also true Spaceview hands are typically all white.

It's a Spaceview I think, regardless of how it began it's life. With the case number stamped in side the back of the case we might be able to determine if it left the factory as a Spaceview.

Either way - cool watch. 1966 Bulova Accutron Spaceview
