The catch is that it's just a Seiko.
No, really.
Credor before the late 2010s retooling of Seiko's corporate structure was a collection on par with all the other dogshit collections from the 2000s they killed off because nobody bought them.
You wouldn't see a Velatura or an Ananta from that same period for over a grand and ask "what's the catch" because you know what the catch is : it's an old Seiko that's not old enough to be vintage so nobody wants it.
"The catch" is that it should be three figures, not four because all it has over the regular Seiko autos of the time is three finishes decoration instead of two. That's it. The "Credor" 8L75 and Seiko 8L35 are identical aside from that. And that base is not high-beat, it's not one of the high power reserve calibers of the time, it's not slim, it doesn't have a free-sprung balance. It's literally just a Seiko architecture in a party hat.
