The Croton SuperC Rose Gold did indeed come with an eta but it did not sell for under $199. as you claim Wesman....and they only sold on Slopnbc....unless some found their way to TJMaxx!:D 2 Conflicting addys for the same watch and 2 different movements?!.... the one on PMWF clearly states it was taken from the Pronto page and not the words of the owner....Pronto is an Asian watch co. of the same caliber as these Octo's that are surfacing...no where does the seller guarantee these are truly Swiss Made nor have genuine eta movements nor that they are NOS....they both just presume based on the assumption that the manufacturer is reputable and abiding by the Swiss Fed. standards and regulations....all I am saying is buyer beware:P
Many of us purchased the Mido Commander for the same price and lower that were advertised as NOS a couple years ago,but since then many are resurfacing and being sold as re-productions out of the Phillipines...these original NOS versions arrived in the original blue sealant applied to the entire watch while stored and original carriage...they were representitive of the era....a couple members even ordered extra links through Mido so a feeling of ease was felt as these being the original article;)
In no way is anyone stating that PMWF is not a reputable source.I have the utmost respect for both the forum and owner as 3T has always cross-posted with them as well as allowing links....and at $129. the Octo may be a very good buy imho regardless of originhand6.gif No one has called the movement a fake but the possibility of it being Asian....which to me is the best alternative to the Swiss eta because it was the Swiss who trained the Asians in watch-making to begin with and they have had years of experience in cloning the movement:D
Ah, yes...good ol' TJ Maxx!!!yourock.gif
