    Here is one of my most beloved watches. A Croton 1878 simple Chronograph with what they call the #paulnewmandial. I have not seen another green in the interwebs. Only wish it came with those arrow hands.

    Love those Wanderers, thanks for introducing me to them. I've always had a penchant for alarm watches -- Crickets, Advisors, etc. -- so excited to have a new one to hunt down.

    For me, they are the most functional and elegant and sporty at the same time looking watches!

    If someone has parts, and is willing to help, I need caseback, stem and the crown!

    You need to take your post down. You need to have a required 200 posts to sell a watch and it should be listed in the Private Watch Sales. You can read the rules in that section.

    @dsio @gatorcpa @kyle L

    EDIT: @gusty33 has taken down the portion of the post that was not within the rules. :thumbsup:

    Ditto, just bought a Nivada in the weekend ( no photos yet as its off at my watch maker for a service) gorgeous ETA 2472 movement inside just cost NZ$10.00 at the local flea market, I doubt its ever been serviced!
    If I put it together with my Poljot alarm watch maybe they will have some Crickets of their own :whistling:

    Long shot thread revival question:
    Is there any chance of finding a replacement bezel for a world timer alarm? This one's a little rough but I'll still buy it if my WM ever finds the time to get it running...

    Some really great watches here, alarm watches are a niche that I haven’t yet dipped my toe into!

    Once I got my feet wet with the Croton Nivada Grenchen alarms, I went Cricket-Crazy, and found myself collecting a veritable ‘chorus’ of them!

    Here’s a video I posted a few years ago with the barking metal Crickets in action/chorus:
