Welcome to

I’m a skull guy. Always have been. They just seem to be fascinating to me. The whole idea that we have this essential structure. It’s much like I enjoy seeing the steel girders or oak beams exposed in a living space. I like seeing the bits that make it possible for that structure to stand tall in the air and proclaim that this space is mine. In that vein, I absolutely fell in love with the Invicta Skull Lupah Diver when I first discovered it on accident during an eBay search. This watch features a Swiss Ronda quartz movement, black IP plating on both case and bracelet, and a blue tinted mineral crystal. This watch has become one of my absolute favorite watches that I own.

Croton as a company is backed by a man who gives his word that his warranty can’t be beat. In a world where watch companies are offering only 1 year warranties, and some are offering the rare 5 year warranty, Croton offers a limited lifetime warranty on all their watches. For this reason, I decided to give them a try recently with their two toned diver. This is probably one of my favorite watches. It is a fairly high quality watch for a little bit of money, with a great homage design of a Rolex Submariner. The Japanese Miyota automatic movement is a real workhorse, and is every bit as accurate as any Swiss engine. While I picked mine up at my local T.J. Maxx, you can snag this baby at just about anywhere.

This little gem was picked up at the local T.J. Maxx store for a very nice price. It is a Swiss quartz chronograph, and is approximately 40mm wide without crown and pushers. The bezel is unidirectional as a good dive watch should be, and the dial work is absolutely stunning. It is fairly lightweight and the rubber strap with deployant clasp is very comfortable. If you find one in the sub-200 range, I wouldn’t hesitate to jump on it.
