Ironic purchase, I was surfing Ebay to see a inexpensive watch that had a Miyota 8215 Auto movement to keep as a spare in the unlikely event one of my 4 Benarus watches should fail. I came across this Croton Eraganto so I bid 20 bucks on it. 4 days later I got an E-mail saying I won the watch. I checked Ebay and sure enough I won it for 16 bucks and change and it was free shipping to boot. I got it Saturday in the mail. Wholly crap it's gigantic!!!!!! Too funny, this sucker is 51mm across with solid end links and solid 24mm bracelet, and would fit on an average size ankle,lol, I was floored. It looks like a school clock on my wrist. It's new in the box and with lifetime Croton warranty. I don't know how good that is but it has it just the same. It was a fluke that I won but I guess everyone gets lucky on occasion. It's no Omega or Breitling, but geez how do you beat this beater?? It's even WR to 330 ft/100m. I think the saddest part is I have to look elsewhere for another 8215 movement. I kinda like this watch that should hang on the wall. It's quite a novelty for 16 bucks, even has a screw down crown. How do people make any profit selling these for that kind of money, the price of 2 drinks or 4 packs of cigs? Words of wisdom: Skip a beer and buy a watch..........here are some pics.....Dan Compared to my full sized SMP auto  Last edited on Mon Sep 7th, 2009 07:22 pm by suitekids |
