I do not have a picture, but i will describe my watch as best as i can. it is a 1950's (i've been told) ladies Croton wrist watch. 14kt white gold case and band with a total of 73 diamonds, with the diamonds on the band being the largest compared to the case. very petite watch, with a straight line of diamonds for the band, and a square shaped face-silverish in color. the casing around the face is surrounded by small diamonds, and the whole case itself is in the shape of a diamond with points vertically and the sides squared off. <=> it is a self-wind watch, non-waterproof. the writing above the dial says Croton with EL right beneath it and below the dial it says Nivada Grenchen, and below the number six (6) it says Swiss. i would greatly appreciate any info you have about my watch, was this is pretty well known maker? where could i research this exact watch to find more info about it? able to offer any suggestions? thank you | ||

Croton is a "mid range" Swiss maker, I think they still make things under that brand name, but its cheap stuff today. The value of your watch will be very close to the value of the gold + the value of the stones. | ||

Hi. It probqbly isn't worth much beyond the value of he case. The bracelet was likely added later and not original to the watch. Zaf |
