Happy to say that after literally months of looking, I finally managed to grab one of these beauties. The strap actually fits me, but going to stick it onto a NATO or leather.

Different and intended for one of my girls, if not to her taste I suspect I could be quite happy with it 馃榾

On the fence about one of these as well. They seem like a great value. Wear it in good health.

Hello, I recently purchased this Vulcain Cricket which appears to be in great shape but I have no idea how old it is.
I made the mistake of trying to unscrew the back only to find out it has a snapback and didn't want to risk damaging it while attempting to open it.
My question is, does anyone have any idea how I can age the watch without taking the back off?
It's currently on it's way to my watchmaker across the country so hopefully, soon it'll be as good as new and on my wrist!

It was described in the listing as a "custom case", I assumed that meant it was manufactured with a custom case option from Tissot but since you mentioned it I asked the seller. He has not responded yet but expect him to soon.
He's a Dr and has been very good at responding to messages.

Any news regarding this one??

Hey me too! So far I am impressed with the obvious quality. The glossy ceramic bezel and movement finishing make it feel every inch a serious Sub competitor, but at a much more modest price point. You may find that on a NATO it gets pretty tall. These are already pretty thick and a NATO makes it worse, I did a write up last year on the Spectre vs the '57 LE SM300 and the verdict was that the NATO was not the way forward with the SM300 MC case. These pics are poor but act as proof of life!:

I forgot all about this.
He eventually responded and said he had assembled the watch himself.
He offered to accept it as a return so I sent it back to him.

As usual, great eye @ConElPueblo. Thanks

First GMT for me. Most of my collection much older manual-winds (and a Roadster and a Tank Louis). Cartier not much watch-cred nowadays but they are superbly constructed and wear nicely.
