Decided that this will be the watch for all the summer activities so swapped out the leather for the tropic strap 😀

@8926ob, wishing you a very happy birthday and many happy and healthy returns of the day! Great Croton you are celebrating with today....Valjoux 7733? Cheers!
Yes sir!
Not the most beautifully adorned movement you'll ever see but it works for me.

Those 773x movements are like diesel engines of the watch world: Not racy or exciting but are workhorses that do the job and will run forever. I have a couple.

Woohoo...needed batteries arrived today!


First up: the "Big Block". ST 398.0836 cal 1511 Marine Chronometer. Started ticking as soon as I dropped it in.


Comes with my 30 sec, 30 ft warranty, which ever comes first! 😜


YaY!

Here is my Valjoux 7733 from around the same year as your Croton….bulletproof movement…like your Croton, prettier on the outside than the inside. Love your Croton…yet another watch to keep my eye out for. I’m raising a glass of cheer to you on your birthday. Cheers!

My only Tissot.
Not quite a work beater, but a big, dependable piece for fieldwork duties….. albeit due for a new strap !

….. and returning from the latest job, I’ve got 50+ pages of WRUW posts to catch up on !
