I really want the one that has the 2 digital displays added. Thanks for the inquiry and have a great day Sincerely, Warren waswell View Public Profile Send a private message to waswell Find all posts by waswell Add waswell to Your Contacts #6

So wait, fill me in, the Vortex is not a Croton original design? __________________ Ah, pigs: an omnivorous, domesticated, cloven hoof vertebrate that defecates the same place it consumes. warpig View Public Profile Send a private message to warpig Find all posts by warpig Add warpig to Your Contacts #9 Today, 03:50 PM

SAN III
Is the new SAN III for $209 on VP's worth the paper? I am debating whether to pull the trigger. I own three Invicta's. I think they make a great product but I am starting to become more of a Android and Renato fan. sweetlou View Public Profile Send a private message to sweetlou Find all posts by sweetlou Add sweetlou to Your Contacts #12 Today, 04:41 PM

Hated to burst your bubble but the Vortex is a copy. JL never made an automatic to my knowledge so Croton did one up on their homage.
Both are great watches and I would like to own the Swiss version of the Pineapple Vortex. Anybody have one for sale? waswell View Public Profile Send a private message to waswell Find all posts by waswell Add waswell to Your Contacts #16 Today, 06:52 PM Join Date: Jun 2010 Posts: 63

That Jacques Lemans Diver is a beautiful time piece. The orange dial pops and gives the watch a real killer look. BTW it does have a Crotonish look to it. Enjoy that bad boy and make sure you give it a lot of wrist time congrats. __________________

The lower ShopNBC number wins. There's more proof of who copied who. LOL
