Don't remember if it was under SWI, or not, anymore...been too long. HSN and "SWI" were not a good match and didn't last very long.
They seemed quite uncomfortable and very unknowledgeable about the "high-end" pieces he brought. They were/are? more used to $19.95 - $49.99 unknown brands; and, as I recall, he was bringing in the same brands as were seen at Slop, but different pieces: i.e. Seiko Military but not Seiko OM, Cartier Santos, but not the Tank Francaise.

I remember that now ... read that somewhere. But did SWI sell under SWI on HSN while on SNBC/VV? Different products?

When Croton was on SAH, the vice-president of Croton was the vendor (have already forgotten his name). It may be the same fellow on HSN.
When SWI was on HSN, it was Lior's brother who was the rep for the company.

Absolutely - agree w/you there - DM is passionate & is knowledgeable. I don't care for the line much either but I have purchased a couple fashion watches over the years. :)
I just wouldn't necessarily make it a point to tune in to watch Croton. But DM wouldn't be on both channels - that would be unprecedented, no?
Come to think of it, didn't Lucien Piccard sells on one of the other shopping channels as well? And unlike Invicta, IIRC, it was under the LP name.

Croton is always entertaining on TV. At least David Mermelstein is. I don't care for much of the Croton lineup, but they are a good company (support-wise) and they pretty much know and understand their market.
