Bought this lovely Deep Sea 666 while i was only looking for a new crystal for my 214 spaceview. Sometimes things cross your path tthta you can not let go.....It comes with NOS steel accutron braclet with three fold locking

Swiss vs U.S. version perhaps? (note the 1972 ad states 'available exclusively at Little Switzerland', St Thomas, St Croix, St Martin, St Barts. - none of which are US entities, are they?
a humdinger and an excellent choice over the Spaceview crystal fujix100.

What I find unusual about the Litte Switzerland ad is that a true dive watch would be a count DOWN dial (minutes of air supply remaining) but they picture a count UP dial. I wonder why they choose this image.
St Thomas and St Croix are part of the US Virgin Islands. St Barts is French and St Martin is half French and half Dutch.
I'm not big on Accutron Geoff but from what I've read Little Switzerland was in its Day.
The Little Switzerland ad shows a tradition Dive bezel, as on the subject Watch. It's the Deep Sea 'A' ad which shows the oddball.
This much I do know, there were Swiss manufactured Accutron and U.S. manufactured Accutron. If that has any bearing in this matter is a question I can't answer.
