I will try…
to write something ASAP …with Joël about the Vulcain Cricket Nautical… but I still need to gather more information, which isn’t easy…

The Triton is a really cool and underrated watch
But it’s a real headache when it comes to production… different cases (2/3), case backs (3), dials (numerous), and crowns (4, plus a Rolex crown on some military models)… and it’s difficult, if not impossible, to determine which ones belong to the same ba...
