dave47 6,471 Posted June 15, 2017 Hi, Gang! Today is HUMPDAY, so celebrate (uh, with due caution, of course). Today, another inexpensive watch received from a seller on AMAZON.com: this CROTON Chronograph, with green dial and very strong black rubber strap. Its movement is supposed to be Japanese, but I couldn't remove the screw down case back to check. For a $19.95 watch, this CROTON is big, measuring 49mm w (w/crown) x 13mm thick and tilting the scale at 112 grams. Its movement employs the latest trend in chronographs-- the large, central seconds hand ticks constantly, while ALL chronograph functions are confined to the three subdials (which DO function accordingly). It is a movement design I detest; I've been accustomed to the traditional chrono functions for the past 35 odd years. Still, it's a nice looker and am satisfied with it. dave: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KarmaToBurn 1,419 Posted June 15, 2017 I REALLY like that! May I ask where you bought it? It's the 1963 Chinese air force watch with the handwind chrono movement.

dave47 6,471 Posted June 16, 2017 Hi, Gang! It's PAMSDAY, so let's see what we all have. For today, this white dialed PAM on black sailcloth I picked up M2M a while ago; and, as is the norm, I don't recall its model number, and the numbers on the case back are of no help. My only critique of the watch regards the seconds hand: it is not boarded in black as are the main hands. dave: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm satisfied with mine, t. It's a little heavy but is VERY comfortable on the wrist. For the asking price, you really can't go wrong. If you buy this, we'll be expecting pics, of course, dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
