There's at least one SpaceView out there in the wild.  The one my "jeweler" stole
from me back in the early 80s.  I took it in to get a new crystal and told him I'd
pick it up when I returned from a trip.  Couple months later when I returned I got
that ole "What watch?" treatment.  Bastid!

Sleazebay isn't a very good source for that kind of stuff.  Watch your area for
estate auctions.  I've seen a few Accutrons go through in the last few years.  They
typically bring very little.  I've been holding out for another SpaceView so I
haven't bought anything.
