Up for sale is a Croton automatic day/date “Pineapple” dive watch. Yes, I am putting somewhat of a premium on the watch as it is getting scarce. It is a sweet watch with a fantastic look. I am selling simply because it doesn’t get much wrist time in my rotation. I am the original owner of the watch having purchased it direct from a well known TV retailer in Fall 2007. As such the watch comes with all original carriage to include two bracelet links. Currently the bracelet is sized on the loose side for a 7.25 inch wrist. This is a big thick diver with a lovely easy to grip bezel and a unique dial color with a nicely done wave pattern. The ETA 2836 day/date movement is silky smooth. As a note, the bracelet does have some “rough” spots in the finishing between the links. This is how the watch came to me. It is barely noticeable but if you are one to run a finger over every edge on a watch you may note it. I note this in the interest of full disclosure. Specs from the seller’s web site:

· Bracelet: Stainless steel bracelet
· Movement: Swiss automatic ETA 2836 movement
· Crystal: Sapphire crystal
· Crown: Screw down crown
· Clasp: Deployant clasp with push button release
· Bracelet Measurements: 8-3/8"L x 15/16"W or 23mm

· Model Numbers:Grey: CA301075SSGYPineapple: CA301075SSYLSilver-tone: CA301075SSSL

The watch is in excellent condition (92%) with some scuffs on the clasp and bracelet. The bezel and crystal are perfect. Again, I am fully aware I have put a premium on this watch so please no ridiculous offers on this one. I am asking $315 (reduced to $300) shipped to you CONUS. International buyers are welcome but will pay all actual carriage costs above and beyond my asking price. I prefer a PayPal transaction to a verified buyer. Please contact me at 3T by using our PM system.

Thanks for having a look. :D
