It's listed as "Rare & Vintage 1970 Bulova Accutron Spaceview Astronaut Astroview Coffin Watch!" And when I contacted him about the watch it was quite clear he knew exactly what this mixed bag of watch parts is and he has the cojones to ask over $2,400.00 dollars for this wreck... He calls it a "conversion" I call it a sad joke... I big giveaway is there is nothing for the hour, minute, and seconds hands to point at indicating the time, All it has is the 24-hour bezel which is useless for those hands because they are on a 12-hour scale, there is nothing for those hands to point at because BULOVA NEVER MADE A SPACEVIEW CRYSTAL FOR THE ASTRONAUT WATCH! He thinks all you have to do is remove the dial from any Accutron and it becomes a "Spaceview Conversion" and he goes on to reference Martin Marcus's website accutron214.com! I wonder what Martin would think about that? lol The sad thing is he will prob find a buyer for it...

Bulova never intended for, or approved of any and all Accutron 214 watches to be "converted" to spaceview watches, and as such Bulova only made factory spaceview crystals for certain model case numbers which all can be found in factory Bulova crystal catalogs throughout the years. This is a list of ALL the Bulova 214 case numbers that Bulova made spaceview crystals for, Any case numbers not on this list Bulova never intended for, or approved of being "converted" to a spaceview watch... And definitely one case number that's not found on that list is the P/N2410 which of course is the Accutron Astronaut!

Oh and he stated "Original factory Kreisler Coffin Band" which is a lie!
Bulova stopped using the "Kreisler Coffin Band" as he calls it, on Astronaut watches around 1963/1964 and switched to the JB Champion Bullet Link Bracelet!
EVERYTHING about that watch is nonsense, like the USA white spaceview hands and the orange sweep seconds hand AND SO much more...
