Help me ID this watch! 😃
This is a publicity photo of Frank Sutton from 1969. Next to it is a close-up (zoomed in.) Next to that is a still from the show. I'd love to know what watch(es?) he's wearing. (I am not certain that the publicity photo watch and the watch in the show still are the same watch.) I'm just curious. Does anyone have any ideas?

As dark as the numbers are, his is probably the middle one that you posted. What is the model number for that watch?

After looking more closely, I think the one in the publicity photo might be a 1968 Timex Electric Model 9417 silver tone case / champagne dial. That being said, I love these Mercury watches also! 🤩

What do you think? Is this the one from the publicity photo?

On second thought, that could be a champagne dial Mercury as well; the indices on the Electric don't look dark enough, now that I look more closely.
