No matter how good dial refinishing company is they can never replicate a Bulova factory dial exactly, Someone who known what they are looking at will aways be able to tell if it's factory or not, Always...

Agree with Non-conforming as the dial certainly looks to be incorrect. Never seen the Accutron symbol presented in a box on a dial before. But there's always s first.

Question to the panel, should a dodgy dial replacement effect the model ID where we would normally give it a generic name. In this case I think a generic 'Accutron' ID serves the purpose better than Non-Conforming.

We have highlight the issue with the dial.

Watches ID'ed in the generic Accutron catagory can be given a Bulova model name if/when an ad or other info surfaces.  
Will the subject watch ever be ID'ed by an official Bulova model name?

Accutron "417".
An incorrect dial and/or hands makes no difference to the watch's ID.

Bob, I might draw a line on giving it the 'official' 417 designation without the correct configuration. I agree with Stephen that a generic 'Accutron' is appropriate in this example.

That is inconsistent with past IDs, we have done it before with a LE recently.
Same thing.
