 The Croton Super "C" I have is the Rose Gold 300 meter Sapphire Crystal ETA Automatic movement.  They were definitely indeed made and sold by Croton.  They were available many places, including ShopNBC not more than 7 or 8 months ago. 

I certainly don't want to get into a knock-down, drag-out battle over this.  But, again, I don't think Reto would be selling OCTO's with fake movements.   Just for clarification, is that what you are saying?   Do you really think that he would traffic in fake movements and misrepresent his watches in this way?   Should this be brought to his attention?

With all due respect, Reto has been around for decades and has owned and worked on many Swiss Movements.  I trust his descriptions and he has never once been known to misrepresent a watch. 

You mentioned that the ETA 2846 movement is a 21 jewel movement and not a 25 jewel movement.  Let me refer you to the Pilot Retro Automatic Ref. 6554 by Zeno-Watch Basel.  They use a 25 jewel 2846 and surely no one would accuse this of being fake.  By the way, the 2846 was also made as a 17 jewel movement by ETA as well - not commonly known however.
