Watch Description

I believe we have a 1969 Accutron Deep Sea 666 (aka the Devil Diver) model.

I picked this up today from the bay.  I believe it's legit.  Pretty early Devil Diver, but there have been so many variations I get confused.

These are not my pics, but the sellers with permission.  What we think?

I haven't been able to find an exact match.  Did any other models have the 666 FEET besides the Deep Sea?  I don't know much about these later mens models

I cannot find any matches.  Also with the hand written date wheel, mismatched hand lume vs hour marker lume this could possibly be built from parts.   Bulova Accutron would be my assessment.

Yeah I think you're probably right.  Sending it back to the seller.  Digging into it... Probably pieced together.
