Affordable Vintage: 1969 Bulova Accutron Deep Sea
While Bulova/Accutron made many killer divers in the 1960’s and 1970’s, the dual crown Deep Sea has to be the coolest kid on the block.? Sure, there’s the Bulova Super Compressors, and Accutron made several awesome Deep Sea and Snorkel models, but none are quite as bold as the Deep Sea.This Deep Sea model looks like a Super Compressor with its dual crowns and rotating inner divers bezel, but it is not. The Super Compressors were of course made by EPSA and had a specialized proprietary water sealing design in addition to the iconic inner rotating bezel. Several companies in the 1960’s and 1970’s cashed in on the popularity of this design, and one of them was Accutron, who really did a bang up job.This baby is a big ol’ chunk of solid stainless steel, measuring in at just over 41mm wide by 45mm long, with 20mm lugs.

5711 vs 15300 blue dials
Does anyone have both an ap 15300 and pp 5711 (both with blue dials) that they could post side by side pics of? I've tried on white/silver dial versions of each at my ad, but it's been months now and neither have had a blue dial come in. I'm thinking of buying from the sales forum here, but was hoping for a side by side comparison. I've found numerous pictures of them individually on line, but the different lighting and angles make them impossible to compare.
