Follow-Up Re: Invicta II Classique Boutique Diamonds Being Crystals-SNBC RESPONDS
I opened a thread a few days ago regarding the Invicta II Women's Classique Boutique Quartz Diamond
Accent Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch - J179607, that I bought for my wife. To recap, a diamond accent
stone fell out of the bezel, and I brought it to a local jeweler to replace it. Upon inspection the jeweler
said the accent stones were not diamonds but crystals. I spoke to the jeweler today, and he said he will
draft an appraisal attesting to this by the end of the week.
It was reported on my original thread that there was a mistake and two versions of this watch were
made. One being a diamond version and the other a crystal version. Each were made for a different
market, and the case backs got the same model number by mistake. Invicta and ShopNBC are looking
into the few customers who got the crystal version by mistake, and will contact them to make matters
right. As of this post I haven't heard from either ShopNBC's or Invicta's customer service. I'm sure it's a
tough job going through the over 3200 watches that were sold, for the few customers who received the
crystal version instead of the diamond version. If I don't hear from either customer service shortly, I'll
notify them. My wife really enjoys the look of the watch, and to make matters right we'll most likely
exchange the the crystal version we received by mistake for the diamond version.
For those geeks who wanted to be updated on this matter, the above is the most up to date information
I have.

Diamonds VS Crystals
FYI, in most cases the crystal versions look a lot better than the diamond ones when you are deal with 1
to 5 point diamonds. It all depends on the quality of the diamonds.
I have seen the Stuhrling womens watches, same models in both and the crystals looked much better.
When you get down to diamonds that small the crystals are really not that much less expensive either.

Yes, I agree...good you posted the update Timeman. Big companies make small mistakes (sometimes big;
think BP) and it happens. God only know how many mistakes I've made in business and I am successful
(at least I think so ).
It was also GREAT to see Jim literally jump all over this situation right away as well. Says something about
him and his loyalty to his customers...seriously.
You will have a good outcome in the end.

Happy to hear it Jim. Even thought J179607 is listed as closed, they still had about 20 available when my
original thread came out. I'm hoping they were locked down due to SNBC's and Invicta's investigation
into this matter.
I think if anyone has any doubt they should have their watch appraised also.

Keep us up to date. I feel a little better as a result of your post but you're the one who has the watch. I
still think Invicta should get it together.

I don't know how SNBC and Invicta will determine who got the crystal model. You would think the
watches are already in the yellow box, and just needs packaging. Furthermore, the watches don't have
serial number to know which ones are diamonds or crystal. That's why I'm going to notify them shortly.

I got an Android Octopuz with diamonds from the 12 to 3 on the Bezel. It came with a certificate signed
by Wing.
I don't know yet if I have the crystal or diamond Classique. I know in the scheme of things this isn't high
on the priority list; however, hearing this story and reading some of the findings is reiterating my interest
to check out the one I have.
I must clarify that I was under the impression from the sales pitch that these watches had real diamonds
on the bezel and reading the crystal/diamond mix up story; is a mystery I'd like solved.

It was in the sales pitch during the original presentation on June 29th and subsequent ones. It was
mentioned numerous times that the watch had 42 genuine diamonds, on the bezel and links by the case.
Not only was it mentioned on air, it's listed on the web site under the J#. There was NEVER any mention
of there being a crystal version up to my original thread.

With the same model number an no serial number on either the watch with diamonds or the one with
crystals, I think Shop is going to have some trouble determining who got which one. I don't envy anyone
THAT task.

Thanks for the followup Timeman, but is there any new information here that wasn't in your original
thread?
EDIT: After posting this and reading it, it sounded like I was taking a shot at you Timeman, which isn't the
case at all. I was just wondering what was in this thread to make anyone "feel better" about this debacle?

If the stone didn't fall out which resulted going to the jeweler, my wife would still think she had a
diamond watch. I'm sure most of the people who have the crystal version have no idea the stones are
not diamonds. That's why it's imperative that SNBC and Invicta determines who has these watches and
notifies them.

debacle?
The only new news is I'm still waiting to hear from either SNBC or Invicta on this matter. It was requested
that people who received the crystal version should wait and not call CS, because it was still being
worked on by management. So if you did call the CS representative would probably have no idea what
you were talking about. However, if I don't hear something by the beginning of next week, I'll notify both
CS departments. There is really nothing to feel better about at the moment in my case. Hopefully there
will be shortly.

First, I don't think that any questions have actually yet been answered. The reply was too vague and
doesn't make any sense when you think about it. Of course, we can't blame Jim for that because snbc has
asked him not to comment, so he needs to be very careful about whatever he says.
I don't have access to the one I purchased as it was given as a gift. I do know that the model number on
the caseback was '0132'. When I go to the Invicta website and search for this model number, I can't
locate it.
I have purchased several other Classique models that have diamond accents, it SEEMS to me this was the
first one that was produced with fake diamonds, and has a model number that I can't locate on the
Invicta website .... when it was stated that "different models were produced for different markets" ....
that's very vague, but can we imply from that then that the crystal version was made just for ShopNBC?
AND, if that is the case, then wouldn't we expect that all of the inventory were crystal versions and not
real diamond versions? That is just an assumption of course, but given the circumstances it appeas it
could be logical.
BUT, if in fact only a few were crystal versions and the rest were real diamonds, how can ShopNBC know
which customers received which versions in order to contact them? Does ShopNBC plan to contact all
purchasers? That seems to be a legitimate question. If there were only a few with crystals, then there are
a lot of cusomters out there with this watch that have actual diamonds, and someone should be able to
take it in and get them verified and report here. If we could even hear one report from one customer
that they bought this watch and verified that it had real diamonds as advertised, then I would feel a lot
better about the whole situation.
Yes, this could just be a simple "caseback / inventory" mistake that just involves a "few" watches ..... BUT,
it could also be something much worse than that. And the point is, without receiving some detailed
answers we do not know which is the case. Given the recent history with Invicta the inclination at this
point is not to give them the benefit of the doubt, and they should recognize that, and they should
proactively be coming forth with all of the details.
By the way, although shop no longer lists this model as available, there are some in inventory at WOW. I
have emailed the CS at WOW and asked them if they can verify for me whether or not the models they
currently have in stock feature real diamonds (as described) or whether they are acutally made with
crystals. I am waiting to hear back from them.

WTH? Crystal. Really? This reminds me of the specially made, LE, Meteorite Lupah last year
where "some" had mineral crystals instead of Flame Fusion. The SHOP needs to sends a
letter to anyone who purchased one letting them know they may not have diamonds.
A couple years ago there was another issue with the Renato Carat count and quality of some
models. From what I remember Daniel Mink was all over it since it was his reputation on the
line. I don't expect this issue will get any attention, but it wouldn't surprise me if "mix ups" like this are more common than we know. Where models intended for different global
markets get mashed together. Just sayin this doesn't surprise me.

Sometimes the Invicta descriptions themselves can be in error- about 4 years ago there was
an uproar when the 3824 LE Diamond Diver description inadvertently listed the diamond hour markers as "CZ's." The diamonds were later verified by Eyal himself and the item
correction was promptly made.

Ya know I just have to ask but just how are they going to know? Do you think they are going to open packages and look? Maybe randomly take 5 or 8 watches to a jeweler and ask them
to verify they are real diamonds?
Seriously why drag WoW into this by even questioning them? Why not just call Rebeca at Invicta and ask her ... nobody has yet to make that suggestion.
In the end it will probably turn out it was all a typo in the descriptions and it should have
read diamond like accents or something like that.
I bought the quartz 3 hander Classique J179021 with the blue sandstone when it aired
months ago. The description says "20 authentic white diamond accents"? Do I think they are
diamonds? Did I buy it because of the "20 authentic white diamond accents"? No I dont think
they are authentic diamods and they glass bits on the bezel had nothing to do with the purchase. I honestly wish they were not there at all and it was just a smooth plain bezel and
they almost kept from purchasing the watch because the look is gaudy and have no diamond
look at all to them.
Sorry about that little rant but come on people ... do we really need to make a Supreme
Court case out of this? Do we honestly believe them to be diamonds and if they are to be of
any quality? Possibly under the crystals are little time diamond dust chips and crystals are
there to protect the diamond dust chips but do we really need to make a supreme court case
out of this?
If anyone is not happy with this they should call ShopNBC, tell them they are not satisfied
with the product and they think it was improperly described and they want to return it and
have there shipping charges refunded because it is not what they said it was and then just
be done with it all.

If something is advertised and promoted as having 42 diamonds don't you think the buyer
should expect diamonds? Doesn't matter if they're diamond accents. Still should be diamond
- not crystal.

Thanks Jerry ... guess I missed that. Well, that does make me feel a little bit better, at least
there were some of these produced with real diamonds. So that means that this was not just a mixup in the description.
By the way, is this the identical watch??:

Now, I don't want to step on anyone's shoes but think that there has been no resolution for
this situation. Yes, it's is reassuring that Jim has made statements but like he said, it's a customer service issue. Unfortunately Jim has to wear many hats, so to speak. But, I for
one, feel a little 'unsettled' regarding this matter. This seeems to be another case of
mistaken identity. Crystal issues with the Reseve Lupah were found to not be Flame Fusion
as presented, the D.D. movement issues, and now this particular watch, found to have crystals instead of diamonds as marketed. Obviously, this is not a Shop NBC isssue, but
come on Invicta.....Get It Together. I love Invicta's time pieces and will continue to purchase
but as Jim stated about this particular watch, "These are serious accusations." Is it that
Invicta has become so large that quality control and attention to detail is not their highest
priority? What do you guy's think?

Trying to stay within the rules set by an owner of the site, I will say this. Too many problems
over too many watches for me to consider a new Invicta, been that way for me since January. And I agree it is not a Shop problem overall.

The oursourcers could have screwed it up.......the diamond vs. crystal thing: look at the
price.
Invicta's fault? The whole outsourcing thing is problematic.
This goes to show what happens when you outsource too much anything. If you don't have
enough QC people, then everything is mess. This is something I know about firsthand. So
you either cut costs by outsourcing and sacrifice quality or pay more for salaries and then significantly raise prices. Then people still would complain about the high prices. And no,
they won't pay higher as you can see watches ending up on DoD sites.

Some might think I'm overreacting to a watch that was only $119. But it's becoming the
principle of the thing. You expect to get what was advertised.
I know mistakes are made, Invicta sells millions of watches a year. All I'm looking for is
exchanging the watch for the one that was advertised, i.e. a diamond accented watch with a
Swiss Parts ISA 638/1011 quartz movement. I'll make this known to Invicta's and SNBC's customer service when I contact them next week.

Once again, QC is a business decision. You either want it or you don't. ETA supplies
movements to the every major watch company and still the G10, as much as I dislike it, is a
workhorse which rarely breaks down.
In Summary:
1) Quality is a conscience business decision.
2) The oldest thread that I found on this topic concerning Invicta QC was almost 10 years old.
3) Nothing will change.
Here are some recent threads in the last few months that will have every point, counter-point for this forum.

It's over a month since I purchased this watch for my wife, and still haven't been notified by
Invicta or ShopNBC, that the diamond accented watch I ordered have crystals instead. I would suggest anyone who bought this watch to have a jeweler checkout the status of the
stones. It might not even cost you anything. Over 3200 of these watches were sold, so
Invicta and ShopNBC will have a tough job finding the few who received the crystal version
meant for a different market. In fact you might have the crystal version and not be notified
at all. So it might be in your interest to have them appraised.

In my original thread it was reported that Invicta and ShopNBC were going to jointly
investigate this, and were going to notify the customers who received the non diamond
version of the watch. At this point I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. I just got
off the phone with my jeweler and asked him to also inspect the movement. In his appraisal
it will list what the stones are and the type of movement in the watch. I'll be picking up the appraisal tomorrow. After receiving the appraisal I'll contact both Invicta and ShopNBC CS
for an exchange for the diamond accented watch with the Swiss parts movement that was
advertised.

LOL ... that's great! I'll be looking for it also. You should email back and ask them if they can
check their records and let you know if you received one of the one's with genuine
diamonds, or if yours is one of the crystal "fake" diamond versions .... see what they reply.

I just checked SNBC's web site and found a product review on this watch, so it appears I'm not the only one to get the crystal stone watch. Here's the customer's review on this watch:
"I bought this watch for my wife and one of the so-called diamonds fell out 1 day after it
arrived. We took it to our jeweler and he advised me that this watch contained no diamonds,
but that these were only crystals that were cheaper then CZ's. Shame on Invicta and ShopNBC once again. False advertsing is a crime. If you have one of these I would send it
back for a full refund before your 30 day window closes."

The above ShopNBC customer made an excellent point. If you bought this watch and to
determine if the stones are crystal, you should phone ShopNBC CS to extent your 30 days return window, so as to give you the needed time to have the stones inspected by a jeweler.

Just checked out WorldofWatches.com's web site and they are selling a similar model of this
watch.
Invicta Women's Invicta II Diamond Accented Stainless Steel - Style or Model: 0126
http://www.worldofwatches.com/detail...iance_id=81044
Below is the one from ShopNBC
Invicta II Women's Classique Boutique Quartz Diamond Accent Stainless Steel Bracelet
Watch - J179607 Model# IN0132 http://www.shopnbc.com/PRODUCT/?trac...h-_-family-_-N
While similar the model numbers are different, and the stones on the T-Bars are not the
same.
Maybe WOW got the the real diamond version, and ShopNBC sold the crystal version meant
for the different market?

Stones Confirmed As Not Being Diamonds On My Watch
I received the jeweler's appraisal today on my Invicta II Classique Boutique watch. I will
quote the section pertaining to the stones.
"The stones set around the bezel and on the band are not diamonds. They are glued in and
appear to be foil back crystals." The jeweler inform me "foil back" means they put something
shiny under the stones to make them sparkle more.
With this information I will now contact Invicta's and ShopNBC's customer service. I will be
requesting the identical watch I originally ordered, but this time the one with real diamonds.
I also spoke with a Justin from ShopNBC customer service who was very understanding.
When I explained the situation to him and requested an extension to my return period, he extended it to August 14th.

Invicta and ShopNBC both advertised and sold three versions of this watch as having 42
diamond accents with a Swiss parts movement. Over 3200 were sold. If ShopNBC doesn't
have any, then Invicta should. You think Invicta and ShopNBC would sell a watch that didn't
exist? If they locate one I will ask them to inspect it first, to make sure it's the diamond
version before sending it to me. __________________

This is assuming that there were actually ANY of them produced that actually had real diamonds. The one person so far who reported he had real diamonds said to me via pm that
he was really not that confident about that information, and he is going to take it someplace
else for testing next week and will let us know.
Has there been anybody else yet who has discovered that they had genuine diamonds?
Even if there were "some" that were real, and "some" that were fake ..... how many of each
were there?? how do they know who got what (IF there were any with real diamonds at all) ?? why did shop need to order Jim to not make any comments, or pass on any information
?? how come the Technical Brand Manager has nothing to say about this ??
An immediate and transparent full disclosure of ALL of the details is the only appropriate response from both Shop and Invicta.

Other then the case you mentioned, I have not seen anyone posting that the diamonds are
real on their watch. However, watchgeeks is a small portion of the people who bought this
watch. In my correspondence with Invicta and ShopNBC, I will ask them to recall the watches sold or to notify each person who purchased one, of the possibility the stones in
their watch might be crystals and not diamonds.

Once again, QC is a business decision. You either want it or you don't. ETA supplies

In Summary:
1) Quality is a conscience business decision.
2) The oldest thread that I found on this topic concerning Invicta QC was almost 10 years
old.
3) Nothing will change.
Here are some recent threads in the last few months that will have every point, counter-
point for this forum.

It's over a month since I purchased this watch for my wife, and still haven't been notified by
Invicta or ShopNBC, that the diamond accented watch I ordered have crystals instead. I would suggest anyone who bought this watch to have a jeweler checkout the status of the
stones. It might not even cost you anything. Over 3200 of these watches were sold, so
Invicta and ShopNBC will have a tough job finding the few who received the crystal version
meant for a different market. In fact you might have the crystal version and not be notified at all. So it might be in your interest to have them appraised.

In my original thread it was reported that Invicta and ShopNBC were going to jointly
investigate this, and were going to notify the customers who received the non diamond version of the watch. At this point I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. I just got
off the phone with my jeweler and asked him to also inspect the movement. In his appraisal
it will list what the stones are and the type of movement in the watch. I'll be picking up the
appraisal tomorrow. After receiving the appraisal I'll contact both Invicta and ShopNBC CS
for an exchange for the diamond accented watch with the Swiss parts movement that was advertised.

LOL ... that's great! I'll be looking for it also. You should email back and ask them if they can
check their records and let you know if you received one of the one's with genuine
diamonds, or if yours is one of the crystal "fake" diamond versions .... see what they reply. __________________ "He who marches in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, for him a spinal cord would fully suffice" - Albert Einstein

I just checked SNBC's web site and found a product review on this watch, so it appears I'm
not the only one to get the crystal stone watch. Here's the customer's review on this watch:
"I bought this watch for my wife and one of the so-called diamonds fell out 1 day after it
arrived. We took it to our jeweler and he advised me that this watch contained no diamonds,
but that these were only crystals that were cheaper then CZ's. Shame on Invicta and
ShopNBC once again. False advertsing is a crime. If you have one of these I would send it
back for a full refund before your 30 day window closes." __________________

The above ShopNBC customer made an excellent point. If you bought this watch and to
determine if the stones are crystal, you should phone ShopNBC CS to extent your 30 days return window, so as to give you the needed time to have the stones inspected by a jeweler.

Just checked out WorldofWatches.com's web site and they are selling a similar model of this
watch.
Invicta Women's Invicta II Diamond Accented Stainless Steel - Style or Model: 0126 http://www.worldofwatches.com/detail...iance_id=81044
Below is the one from ShopNBC
Invicta II Women's Classique Boutique Quartz Diamond Accent Stainless Steel Bracelet
Watch - J179607 Model# IN0132 http://www.shopnbc.com/PRODUCT/?trac...h-_-family-_-N
While similar the model numbers are different, and the stones on the T-Bars are not the same.
Maybe WOW got the the real diamond version, and ShopNBC sold the crystal version meant
for the different market? __________________

Stones Confirmed As Not Being Diamonds On My Watch
I received the jeweler's appraisal today on my Invicta II Classique Boutique watch. I will
quote the section pertaining to the stones.
"The stones set around the bezel and on the band are not diamonds. They are glued in and
appear to be foil back crystals." The jeweler inform me "foil back" means they put something
shiny under the stones to make them sparkle more.
With this information I will now contact Invicta's and ShopNBC's customer service. I will be
requesting the identical watch I originally ordered, but this time the one with real diamonds.
I also spoke with a Justin from ShopNBC customer service who was very understanding. When I explained the situation to him and requested an extension to my return period, he
extended it to August 14th.

Invicta and ShopNBC both advertised and sold three versions of this watch as having 42
diamond accents with a Swiss parts movement. Over 3200 were sold. If ShopNBC doesn't have any, then Invicta should. You think Invicta and ShopNBC would sell a watch that didn't
exist? If they locate one I will ask them to inspect it first, to make sure it's the diamond
version before sending it to me.

This is assuming that there were actually ANY of them produced that actually had real
diamonds. The one person so far who reported he had real diamonds said to me via pm that
he was really not that confident about that information, and he is going to take it someplace else for testing next week and will let us know.
Has there been anybody else yet who has discovered that they had genuine diamonds?
Even if there were "some" that were real, and "some" that were fake ..... how many of each
were there?? how do they know who got what (IF there were any with real diamonds at all)
?? why did shop need to order Jim to not make any comments, or pass on any information
?? how come the Technical Brand Manager has nothing to say about this ??
An immediate and transparent full disclosure of ALL of the details is the only appropriate
response from both Shop and Invicta.

Other then the case you mentioned, I have not seen anyone posting that the diamonds are
real on their watch. However, watchgeeks is a small portion of the people who bought this
watch. In my correspondence with Invicta and ShopNBC, I will ask them to recall the
watches sold or to notify each person who purchased one, of the possibility the stones in their watch might be crystals and not diamonds.

I printed out the ShopNBC's web page before all of this discussion had started and it said
nothing about crystals. It still states online nothing about crystals. In fact ShopNBC's web
page still says "Invicta II Women's Classique Boutique Quartz Diamond Accent Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch - J179607".
I also just did a word search on the same web page for "crystal" and the only thing that
comes up is Crystal: Flame Fusion.

crystals.

Last night I sent a very detailed e-mails to both Invicta and ShopNBC customer service
departments on this situation. I explained to them the watch I received didn't have the 42
diamond accent stones as advertised, but were crystals instead. I requested an exchange for the same exact two tone version I purchased originally, but this time the one with the real
diamond accents. I stated if ShopNBC doesn't have one then I asked Invicta to check their
inventory, or acquire one from one of the other vendors they sold them to.
Do I believe I'll receive the watch I requested? In my opinion it all depends on how hard the
customer service departments are willing to work to get me and the other customers the
diamond accented watch they ordered in the first place.
If I hear anything from them I let you know.
P.S. I also mentioned that 3200 of these watches were sold, and no official announcement
about this has been made by Invicta or ShopNBC. I suggested ShopNBC should recall all the
watches sold, or at least notify all the customers who bought one, that the diamonds that
were advertised might be crystals instead. __________________

I know nothing about other Invicta classique models, so can't comment on them. Due to the
report that some Invicta II Classique Boutique watches were sold with crystals, anyone who
owns one should checkout the status of the stones. In my case the jeweler charged me nothing initially for telling me the stones were crystals. However, he did charge me $20 for
the official appraisal. If you have your watch inspected let us know if the stones in your
watch are diamonds or crystals.

Just received a response form ShopNBC customer service on The Invicta II Classique
Boutique Watch. In the e-mail I told them the watch was advertised as having 42 diamond accents, but were determined to be crystals. Are your ready for this? This is ShopNBC
response:
Dear Mr. XXXXX,
Thank you for your email. We apologize for any misunderstanding regarding your Invicta II
Women's Classique Boutique Quartz Diamond Accent Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch (order
XXXXXXXX). As indicated by our Customer Service line, we have extended your return date to 08/1/10. Please feel free to follow the instructions on the back of your invoice to return
this item.
We also apologize that the watch is no longer available. Feel free to periodically check for
cancellations on the item by entering the item number in the search box on ShopNBC.com or by calling us at 1-800-676-5523.
Please feel free to contact us again if you have any further questions or concerns.
Thank you for shopping with ShopNBC.
Regards,
Sammy B. Customer Service Representative
ShopNBC
So this is ShopNBC's response to selling me a 42 diamond accent watch, that turned out to
have 42 fake diamonds. NOT ONE WORD ON THE FAKE DIAMOND WATCHES, THAT AS MANY
AS 3200 CUSTOMERS MIGHT HAVE RECEIVED. LOL When this whole thing blew on July 26
there were around 20-30 of these watches in inventory. The next moment they had the "Sold Out" sign out and boarded up the store for the storm to hit, and pulled the video of
any shows stating the word diamonds. I'm still waiting for Invicta's response to my e-mail.
Jim said in my original thread that ShopNBC would make matters right for people who
received the fake diamonds. If you read ShopNBC's e-mail they extended my return date to
8/1, so that gives me 1 hour and 15 minutes to get the watch back to them. Thanks ShopNBC. I'll let you know what Invicta says when I get their response.

I don't think I would wait. It seems weird that SNBC would basically say, "Be quiet and sit
tight. Trust us." Especially when it is a trust issue to start with. You were sold diamonds, but got crystals. That is a big mistrust issue. The right customer service thing to do is to have
you keep the watch for now and refund your money. Of course, don't hold your breath. CS at
the Shop, in my experience, just doesn't understand what it's name is all about, customer
service. __________________

It appears that ShopNBC just blew me off and the other customers in the same situation as
I'm in. It looked like a standard boiler plate response, that was copied and pasted into my e-mail response. When you mention that as many as 3200 watches might have fake diamonds,
shouldn't this be brought to management's attention? Maybe it was and this is the way they
want to it handled.
They should had at least mentioned the diamond issue. Say it's currently under investigate,
say something of this issue.

If I get a response from Invicta, I'm sure it will be similar to ShopNBC's, so I'm not
expecting much. And yes, it does appear they have no intention on doing anything about
this. __________________

Owch. I'd *try* a call/email to the CEO of the Shop, fwiw, but this *really* disappoints me. Way too much "miscommunication" I see of late between the Shop and Invicta...the
Speedway DD fiasco I was willing to chalk up to error, but this really does start to make me
wonder...unfortunate as it is for me to say that.

How does something like this happen? Very suspicious, to me.

I'm going to have the jeweler check my Classique. I'll report my findings. I spoke to Customer Service. They didn't know anything about this but said I can check it out and if it's not as described; I can send it back. __________________
