Yes, totally worth it! I had one of these and sold it to a friend. I had a hard time reading the silver hands on silver dial, but the design is soooo clean. Someone needs to grab this one.

 

Well this is cheap for a Zenith at $199. But that chromed case is in horrendous shape.

Gee. I was going to first offer $100 and go as high as $125.

 

This one is a tad high but maybe someone can make a low offer https://www.ebay.com/itm/254692332412Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

 

Admittedly I know very little about these, but it caught my eye...bid seems low at the moment. Maybe a good catch for someone that knows what they are worth and offers above the current auto-bidder?

I know some things about it. The dial should be textured but it's hard to see in these pictures. It should have a BFG 158? Someone on OF listed one a while back and it had a white dial. Here: https://omegaforums.net/threads/red...eautiful-full-guilloche-dial-automatic.69873/

 

Thanks! I also dug a bit more and found someone on WRUW posted a Sheffield... and called it a 'one jewel wonder'.

Yep. Many of these skin divers had cheaper movements. The example you posted could be more than one jewel but I'm no expert. Any thoughts @JwRosenthal ?

 

Most Sheffield’s were one jewel, the one you linked from the FS here looks like one jewel and doesn’t have jewel count on the movement. That said, single jewel movement watches aren’t necessarily “bad”- think timex. They are just semi-disposable considering when parts wear out, it’s metal on metal.

 

Thank you both! Good info to know. I've been on the hunt for a beater dive watch to wear when gardening and playing golf. I'll keep this in mind

 

Speaking of beater divers-
Plated Lanco, lots of wabi-Sabi on the dial, but it’s blue- and that’s just rad! Also an eta movement too boot. Crown looks a little dinky but may be original- who knows.

The dial is textured. Its visible in one of the close up images. Its in the form of concentric grooves like a phonograph record. A style often seen on chrono sub dials.

 

Picked one up a few months back as my current watch box was 'outnumbered'...it works, but the fit and finish matches the price.

 

Ok, who bought the Sheffield?

 

Not I. Nepomuceno kindly re-directed me to a white dial example so I ducked out of the other.

Could this be a good buy? Am hesitant due to 0 feedback, on the other hand I usually pay Creditcard with PayPal so i'm 90% safe. Or is it above what it's worth already?

 

Dude is honest in his description, even mentions the 1 jewel movement as not being anything to write home about. But he says it was serviced so that’s a plus. The size is interesting, probably why it has the bidders it does. I think it could probably go up to $200 just because anything like it with a 17+jewel movement would be $250+.

 

Here's an all stainless Clinton with the box and papers for $140. The dial shows some discoloration, but overall it's pretty nice.
