Are there any love for vintage Bulova on OF?

I couldn't see the forest thru the trees, but you might be on to something. Apparently it runs, and though the photos aren't great, the case is possibly good. I have another spaceview project on the go so this could be good for someone else to pick up
Is there enough left to redial it, perhaps with a OEM dial salvaged from a parts watch?
Pardon my late reply. I was thinking about what you wrote and it took me down another path 🤔 I hope that anyone who wanted to jump in did so

He's my funky spaceview. Can anyone confirm if it's some sort of mod or franken? I found some vintage Accutron ads featuring this case, but with a normal dial. I'm suspecting that the seller turned it into a 'spaceview'. I enjoy wearing it, so I wouldn't be too hurt if that's the case. Thanks in advance for everyone's expertise.

That is a 1960 only Star Watch Company Case/14kt Gold Inlays. They came as Models 203 & 204 (both dialed watches). They "did' not make those as factory Spaceviews. That is nothing more then a Spaceveiw conversion using aftermarket parts.

Thanks so much for this info. I suspected this was the case. I will add this to my 'noob tax' tally.

If that would have been a correct watch it would have looked like this (Gold Dial (Model 203) or Black Dial(Model 204))

And this is the only caseback correct for that case. Very unique case.

Those look gorgeous with the black dial. The wealth of knowledge on this forum is amazing. Thanks so much for the info!
