    Croton Chronomaster (circa 1963) Valjoux 92
    Back up for sale (after a lot of running hot and cold on whether to sell or not) is my vintage Croton Chronomaster Aviator Sea Diver. It's a fantastic example of this reference, perhaps one of the best you will see in a very long time.
    Original matte dial in excellent condition
    Tritium luminous on dial and hands
    38mm stainless steel case

    Watch has not been tested for water resistance
    Please look at the photos carefully
    The minutes subdial features a highlighted red countdown area for regatta timing.

    Movement: Original Valjoux 92 manual wind chronograph movement in superb condition and keeping excellent time. Movement is clean and all functions work as they should including the chronograph start, stop, and reset which feel smooth and responsive as does the crown on winding. The recent service history is unknown. I don't think it needs a service anytime soon, but I leave that up to the buyer to decide based on their own preferences. I bought he watch from a fellow OF member and hopefully it will sell to and stay within OF. Looking to sell to free up some cash for another purchase.

    The box is not correct (most likely mid '50s) but I do have a correct outer box with an incorrect silk lining which will be included in the sale.

    I am asking USD2100 (all reasonable offers considered) plus 50/50 shipping costs and payment by either direct wire transfer (preferred) or by PayPal plus 3%

    I have a number of positive referees as both a buyer and seller on OF and on other forums and as Blubarb19 on eBay with 100% rating.

    Please pm me with any questions and we can go from there.

    I'll take it.


    Give me your bank details, and I'll transfer the 2150 Burundian Francs ASAP.

    Nuts. (hahaha - nuts / squirrel, get it?) I was going to send 2150 pesos but C.E.P. beat me to it. I'm sure everyone wants an Aviator Sea Diver:

    Yeah, sea(n) that joke before...

    ps...for all those who have or intend on joining OF to message me with your great offers- forget it. Not interested. Don't care if you offer 5,000 Burundian whatevers I will not sell it to you! You must be an active member of OF. Doesn't have to be many posts but you have to have some. Simple. I am OF through and through, which is not always pleasant according to my therapist

    "... I am interested in the Croton but I will not send pesos because I assume you want euros or dollars. Where are you located?" Good one, whoever that was. Still laughing...:D
