The panel has voted to reopen this watch for re-identification.
I will vote to retain the original ID - that of Accutron Astronaut MK1. My basis is that we have an ad that shows the ID clearly for the exact watch presented. The adverts presented to support a new ID do not reference the MK1 but the MK2. While the MK2 ads do not show "Deep Sea" on the dial, the MK1 ad does. Bob, I have to disagree that Accutrons weren't depth marked, this one clearly was, is as is the supporting ad. Bob (ROGLEN) has owned this watch since it was new, there is no reason to suspect it's had a dial modification. I agree that it's ODD it was marked Deep Sea but I see no reason to believe it isn't original.
