Hi guys, I have grabbed an old Accutron snorkel 666 feet (crown at 3 o'clock), in NOS condition (with original blue film); btw I need an information, the watch comes without no letter N (neither inside the movement,neither written on the bottom of the case). There is only a 7 digits code, 5 159 707, so can you advise me about the year of construction? Best regards
I believe it has ben manufactured in 1974, but I am not 100% sure. For that reason I have share with you all the info I have...I'd like to recognize the real year of construction...the alternative is 1975...I have to decode the 7 digits, 5 159 707, so I will be able to discover the correct year of production...
I'm not seeing the choice for a model name (or group/series) Accutron Snorkel. We have "Deep Sea" and some other choices for Accutrons in the model name drop down box (under "search for My Bulova watches" link). I think we discussed using Snorkel as a model name since it was on the dial...but so is 666 feet and other verbage which I think panned out to be a class or series of watches vs a model name.

I guess we could treat this like we did Accutron "Woody" until we agree on an actual Bulova-advertised model name? The nick-name Woody was entered into the variant field until we determined that Woody was in fact a nick-name.
For subject watch, do we have any indication Bulova produced a model (or series) named Accutron "Deep Sea Snorkel"? It could still "work" even if not advertised as such....perhaps placing the "Snorkel" part in the variant field.
