Realized my credit card was almost ready to expire so I figured I might as well empty that account. I put in very low ball offers on a few things including this Croton and got a pretty good counter offer so I took it.
I'd been reading the Nivada Grenchen threads recently and they peaked my interest in this brand.
Not that I need another small watch but if it is recently serviced and in good working condition that is a step up from most of my collection.
Actually practically any vintage self winder in good recently serviced condition is worth more than I paid for this old girl.
Not a great fan of Patina, but this has a very evenly speckled appearance that actually adds to the look of the dial. Gives it character.
I hope it runs as nicely as some of this brand apparently do.
PS
Though the entry says the watch sold for $49 I actually got it for $41, with the 3.99 shipping charge of course plus $4 + sales tax which brought the full all in price up to $49.33.
