Really like these late 1960's, 1970's divers. It appears this one may have been re lumed, which modern is far superior to the 15 minute glow you got from the original calcium carbonate paints.

Seems like all these Sheffield's I have looked at have had this lume... Not sure though. Need to dig into the history now that you brought it up. Also have an American Heritage Diver that I need to finish... Balance is sitting under the microscope waiting on me to have time to oil it and put it back together...

Anticipation is a killer on some things LOL. I have more patience with guns than I do watches LOL. Guns I wait on SSP to call and with watches I am looking at the tracking constantly LOL.

I waited for my Omega Seamaster 300m in Summer Blue, according to the AD No more were sent after I bough mine, I was the last one who got one! Could have been stroking my ego though...

1958 Bulova A-17A

It has one of the nicest condition dials that I've seen on an A-17A, so I couldn't pass it up.
