Other: The Deep Sea Chronograph "B" is our favorite execution of all the 666 Feet Devil Diver lineup. This is a superb original example and we particularly love its "Coke" dive bezel with the perfect amount of fade for summer. We imagine that this tool watch was worn out in the sun quite a bit and maybe even on salt water dives to create such a beautiful combination of colors. It is also very rare to see one of these with an ultra-glossy black dial in this condition with no peeling around the markers. If you've been looking for a nice example, this is it.
