Title: Rare Croton Vacuum Automatic "Hunk o' Pig Iron"

Description: VERYGOOD condition. I've sold many of these by Glycine but I did not know Croton had one. Made in the 1960's with true one piece cases in super thick stainless steel bowl shaped cases where the movement (quick set date ETA 2738 automatic) goes in or comes out through the front. No removable bezels either, like most one piece case Omega Seamasters which actually have a snap on or friction fit bezel (ring on the outside of the crystal which many times holds the crystal), waterproof from the same era. Only the case, two white gold crystal clamps and the thick glass or early sapphire (not sure on this model) thick beveled crystal. Original crown is well sealed as back in the day this was a water proof watch. Also shock protected (Incabloc) with a fancy micro-meter regulator, according to Wayne the watch maker who checked it out and regulated it for accuracy. It is also a rare hack set. Day of the week is not quick set, just the day of the month. The dial is purple, looks original and does have some light age spots including the largest which can be seen just over M of MON on the day wheel. Better jump on this as it is a great watch for the money with a brand new Hadley Roma brown leather strap and steel buckle. Measures 35.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 36 mm long x 9.5 mm thick. {$229} Item #5810 {$169} SOLD
