Description: ***********FOR PARTS ONLY - The manual wind movement runs slow over inconsistent periods of time, from several minutes to several hours, before stopping. The date wheel rolls over as it should. There is no quickset date function. While the crown turns with a bit of friction when setting the time it winds smoothly. As clearly seen in the pictures the bezel is missing.***********This vintage 1970's Sheffield, seldom seen with the green anodized case, has under the damaged crystal a lovely glossy black "T SWISS MADE M1" signed dial. The lume, which has dusted off some areas of the hour markers, emits a quick burst glow on both the dial and hands after being exposed to bright light. As clearly seen in the pictures the bezel is missing. The green anodized, base metal case shows honest wear. The outer edge of the case back is stamped "WATERPROOF - STAINLESS STEEL BACK - SHOCKRESISTANT" with "GUARANTEED 5 ATM. TESTED - SWISS MADE" stamped along the inner edge. The crystal needs to be replaced.While I normally show pictures of the movements of watches I put up for sale the case back on this one is torqued too tight for me to remove. The manual wind movement runs slow over inconsistent periods of time, from several minutes to several hours, before stopping. The date wheel rolls over at 12 am. There is no quickset date function. While the non-screwdown crown turns with a bit of friction when setting the time it winds smoothly. Because of the missing bezel and given the movement's inconsistent nature this watch is being sold for parts only. This watch measures approximately 37 mm excluding the crown, approximately 40 mm including the crown and approximately 20 mm between the lugs. Case thickness, measured from the bottom of the case back to the top of the mid-case, is approximately 7.5 mm. Including the crystal thickness measures approximately 10 mm. The lug to lug distance measures approximately 43.5 mm. This watch is being sold for parts only. As such there are no warranties, express or implied, attached with the sale of this watch. Vintage means old and while my personal belief is that old school means better quality and workmanship, things can and do go wrong from time to time. For this watch that time is now. Any restoration costs going forward are your responsibility.Please thoroughly read this entire listing and kindly ask any and all questions you may have prior to buying as this sale is final and no refunds of any kind will be given. And please study the 20 high magnification pictures carefully as they are part of the description and serve as an accurate representation of the condition of this watch. Expedited and insured shipping will be provided. Thanks for looking!***********FOR PARTS ONLY - The manual wind movement runs slow over inconsistent periods of time, from several minutes to several hours, before stopping.
