I have no idea what your level of WISdom is but 1st of all the Croton SuperC has a Japanese Miyota movt. in it in the SS /pvd versions that sold for $199/$399. and you are talking about a made for TV watch.....Octo and Sandoz went out of bussiness in 1970 era and were purchased and resurrected by a Asian businessman a few years ago....both being made in Asia today(Phillipines what I have been told)....read the addy closely or just copy it here and show me where it says it is definetly Swiss Made?...it is also advertised as a 25j eta....the eta2846 is a 21j movement not 25 and it sells for $89.by itself right now so at $129. for the watch what exactly do you think the vendor payed for it from the dealer? if it is NOS is one thing but reproduction is another imho
The day of the Swiss Made/Movt' watch for $199. are over and the Swiss Federation will be voting in April 08' to toughen the existing Swiss Made law so that these guys can't slip through the cracks anymorehand6.gif....btw every replica manufacturer claims Swiss Made and Swiss eta and stamped eta/Swiss Made as well...do you believe them?
