    A Croton Chronomaster Aviator Sea Diver up for sale.
    Case is 38mm not including the crown and in good condition with no dings or major scratches evident. The facets/bevels on the lugs are still quite defined. Caseback is in very good condition with the serial number still visible. Only the one muppet mark pictured below.
    Movement is a Valjoux 92 which had a documented service in August 2016, receipt will come with the watch. Over the past week it has gained approx 7seconds/day. All chronograph features function correctly.
    When I acquired the watch the lume on the hour markers was badly degraded to the point I struggled to read the watch. The hour markers were relumed by James Hyman in the UK. With his kind permission the photo is below. Hands are original and lume and in good shape. There is also some small loss of dial coating with resultant spotting mainly around "Croton".
    Bezel is original and in very good condition.
    The unsigned crown and pushers are original as far as I can tell.
    The watch and I are currently in Thailand but I can ship from Europe, probably the Netherlands on 18th March and maybe later from Denmark.
    Comes with the Rios 1931 strap pictures and I'll throw in EMS shipping.
    Not sure what to price this at given the relume but I'll try £950 or US$1,250.
    Returns not accepted unless grossly misrepresented.
    Paypal F+F or bank wire preferred but can do Paypal as well.
