I thought I would like to share today's arrival with fellow members. Thanks to x3no (Brandon), the Croton arrived by Fed Ex this afternoon Western Australian Standard Time. It sings even louder than the pics give it credit for. Very excited at finding one in such excellent all round condition. Most surprising is how smooth the pushers operate and how smoothly the crown turns. Amazing piece!

 

Gorgeous! Must grab myself a chronomaster one of these days.

 

Looks to be in fantastic condition, congratulations!

 

West coast dibs

 

nice, Calibre 61 from memory

 

Probably a Valjoux 92
but could be many others
Valjoux 23 , Landeron 210 and 248 and Venus 210.
Here's a great article about the movements, etc
used in this watch:

Valjoux 23 or 92 I have to go back and check now.

 

eh, just being silly, thought you might be a part of a collectors group called cal61

 

Hahaha! Hey, Matty, got me alright!

 

Congrats, hopefully we'll end up at a gtg in Sydney or Melbourne at the same time and I can see it in person...

 

I am hoping to be over in November if all goes to plan, Matty. So hopefully then.

 

Cool, im in Adelaide but have been to one in Sydney, amd caught up with a few of the guys in Adelaide ...

 

This has become a hot collectible..


Like over the last 2 or 3 years.

This look seems to appeal to a wide variety of tastes...


I remember when u could buy these by the fistful for well under 500 USD

No more

 

oh my gosh, what a beaut, I've been scouring Ebay for one of these. I love it enough to replace my Speedmaster!
