Other: The Deep Sea Chronograph "B" is our favorite execution of all the Bulova 666 Feet Devil Diver lineup. When we discovered this top-quality example, it was on this killer period-correct JB Champion bracelet! It is nearly impossible to find this reference in this type of condition... It's also quite rare to see the mirror glossy black dial with no peeling around the hour markers. Even the "Coke" dive bezel is bright and vibrant, which is indicative of this watch sitting in a drawer for most of its life. And the original domed crystal is very clean. As an added bonus, the Bulova 14EB (Valjoux 7733) movement has been completely overhauled by our watchmaker with new gaskets installed at the time of service.
