This one I pulled off the Slop for what I consider to be a fair price. This is my first Croton, and I must say so far it seems a very nice watch. Big heavy diver, though really too blingy to be a tool diver. Very solid and heavy with a nice heavy bracelet. ETA 2836-2 movement, sapphire crystal, exhibition caseback and of course the pineapple color. More a faded yellow to me but I do think I like it. The dial is very nice though the sword hands are a bit plain and I wish the second hand had some lume on the tip. Lume seems pretty good with quite a patten erupting from the luminous pips. Chapter ring has 24 hour markings with 24 in red.
Overall I think I got a nice shiny one...
I am dubbing this watch the Noriega as I don't think it has a name and I see it as being too pretty for a Beast or Monster designation. Those of you old enough to remember will understand. Thanks to Jeffr for his opinions which helped me pull the trigger...enable me and happy b-day to me... early.
