butcherd 218s

Just seems all the 214s will end up spaceview conv. There is a jeweler here in town that converts every 214 he buys. Why can't people just leave them alone?

I love a spaceview, as I own 2 of them. A 1965 Alpha spaceview was the second Accutron I bought. It just seems some people forget that some 214s are sopposed to have dials and convert them regardless of being original (case,dial,movement) . Just the thought of somebody trying to redesign a 218 into a spaceview just makes me sick. I do like the original 218 spaceview that bulova issued. Most of my family and friends think my spaceview is broke the first time they see it because it does not have a dial. But I'm only 23 and most my friends think a nice watch is just for looks with all fake diamonds and such.

Yea I have sevral watches that the case and movement don't match, and like you said I enjoy wearing them but would never sale them as orginal. It was hard convincing my wife I needed a expensive Alpha model but at the same time I bought her a 14k women's Accutron from 1972. So she obliged that idea!
