    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
    Pardon my late reply. I was thinking about what you wrote and it took me down another path :unsure: 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.
