Mike said send an email to Armand Nicolet.. so I did.. Quote:
Posted by Michael Davis In The Now Closed Thread - What part of Switzerland, are Invicta watches made? No one ever said that the facilities owned in Switzerland were in the name of Invicta. They do not need to be to be a part of the overall corporation. Second, the Invicta Watch Group is a privately held corporation. As such, they are not under any requirement to anyone to disclose information that "you" might find interesting. Lastly, if "you" can't understand why it is that this information is not made available, then you really don't understand how the watch manufacturing industry works. Most companies won't even disclose who their manufacturing partners are. Nor do manufacturers disclose who they may produce pieces for (i.e. make watches for another company that carries the name of that other company). For instance, send an email to the head of Public Relations for Armand Nicolet (or any other corporate officer for that matter) and ask them who they make watches for. They won't tell you. For a variety of different reasons. In some cases, they don't want to admit that they are making watches for companies that sell them so cheaply (compared to some of the Armand Nicolet lines) or for companies that don't quite have the pedigree of a company from the Bernese Jura. So, they enter into an agreement that prevents the other company from advertising who built the watches for them. Sometimes, the other end is true. The company that ends up with the watches does not want anyone else to know who is doing the work for them, so they enter into an agreement to have someone like Armand Nicolet to build the watches, but not advertise or admit that they have done so. I use the above scenario for a reason. Just to point out that this type of information is not widely shared within the industry. It is not an Invicta thing, it is an industry thing. You don't have to like it, but that is the way it is. You have no legal right nor moral imperative to know it. If you don't believe what has been said about facilities that Invicta has, then you have two choices. You can disbelieve and continue to purchase the watches you like until another reason that has more bearing on the situation . Or, you can not buy Invicta and in turn buy from some other company. Other than that, it is pretty much a moot point. But, this thread has been interesting to read.

Are you trolling? I think you are. I don't believe that email is real, you created it and placed it on this forum to start $#it. No company would send an email like such. If it is real, you only suceeded in my never wanting to purchase from Nicolet because they are not professional. There are other sites out there who will buy what you are selling but we are not one of them. Today, 05:29 PM

That was the reply from an official in a company? Is he your personal friend or something? I would be fired if I wrote to anyone like that. And why was the Nicolet brand from the Shop even being mentioned in this e-mail? I smell a suspect topic. __________________ "I pretend to leave and then......SURPRISE ATTACK!!!!" Today, 05:31 PM

Uh Oh! Here we go again! Look, what do you expect? Invicta is a great value and thats all there is to it. They're not Rolex, Breitling, TAG they are Invicta. Great watches for money. Ron __________________ rbart Today, 05:32 PM

All I know is that while I do not have any haute Swiss brands like Panerai, Nardin, Blancpain etc in my collection, I enjoy the pieces I have. While I don't always agree with them or like their styles, bravo to Invicta, Renato, Android, Stuhrling, Croton and Swiss Legend for allowing us "commoners" to have fun and enjoy collecting while staying within a middle class budget! __________________

It would be interesting to see the original email sent by newport52 to this company as how it was worded would bring a different answer. And I would love to see the header information on the response. __________________

One thing who knows the person responding to the email could be a secretary right? Another thing don't accuse people of trolling without proof, like remember the "MISSING S GUY" he was banned without proof and then proven innocent. Sometimes the truth hurts does not mean a person has to banned because of it. Today, 06:08 PM

Fellow WGs two important points: 1. "Nicolet" is Croton imprint and I just want to make sure that those reading this thread won't confuse the fine and well earned reputation of the Merm and his company with whoever is writing tha email above. 2. For fun I "googled" Rosella Savoldi to see if she shows up and lo and behold she does... in another watch forum....defending the ARMAND NICOLET brand against the unwashed masses of non-swiss
companies again. For what it's worth I don't think Armand Nicolet ever sent that email despite what Michael Davis feels or was refering to. Whenever I got an email from an INFO@FILLINCOMPANY.COM address it never had a name attached and was a basic form letter. That email is a fake. Today, 06:09 PM

Thanks to those who cleared up the Nicolet thing I had confused. But, if that email is Join realDate: thenOct that 2010 mynewport52 Posts: 24 company needs to get a get a new person answering emails. It is one of the most unprofessional Junior Member email responses I have ever seen. I don't think it is real though. I am going to send a copy of it to New Geek Armand Nicolet and see if they sent it.

If this email is real they need another person handling incoming emails. This is the most unprofessional email I have seen. __________________

You guys do know there are websites out there that you can pay to have any @email address you want to use to send an email and they'll re-route the email to whatever the address that the purchaser has listed or they can use that website like a regular email provider and reply from there. You'd be better off searching the Nicolette website and seeing if you can find the person he supposedly listed or emailing nicolette from there webiste directly as opposed to emailing the address he has listed. __________________

For fun I "googled" Rosella Savoldi to see if she shows up and lo and behold she does... in another watch forum....defending the ARMAND NICOLET brand against the unwashed masses of non-swiss companies again. For what it's worth I don't think Armand Nicolet ever sent that email despite what Michael Davis feels or was refering to. Whenever I got an email from an INFO@FILLINCOMPANY.COM address it never had a name attached and was a basic form letter. That email is a fake. Good work my man she is the trouble maker,just putting down any watch that is not swiss, that makes sence. It just makes sence cause it just got me mad the way she called out Mike. Not even knowing who he is and it just got my goat. She is just a Rebel Rowser, thank you. Today, 06:32 PM

Dang, Mike said to email AN. So this guy does it and gets a response and you guys rip him? In Mikes post he also implies AN does work for Invicta. What are ya'll jumping the guy for? Because he got a response and posted it? __________________

Nope, when I looked up the name she has a history of defending her brand and them not the same as Croton's Nicolet. Today, 06:40 PM

Some of us have sent a copy to ArmandNicolet's contact us site and are awaiting a response. I am 99.99% sure it is fake. That email is one of the most unprofessional emails I've ever seen. The only person who could get away with that would be an owner, the owners wife or the owners daughter.

Again, Enuf !! .................................................. ............. What about this doesn't anyone get ? I am not against the OP .. I am against the animous and name calling this thread has provoked .. it's sad .. the writer of this thread has every right to speak their mind, but we should all be aware when we start a thread of the impact it may have and the hurt it may cause. I, for myself, feel horrible for Michael who is a freakin sweetheart of a guy who gave us this forum as a 'gift' .... at least I see it this way and I am personally offended when people come into his home and accuse him of being anything but the genuine fine guy he is ...... imagine our lives without this forum for our buys/sales/trades and just plain fun ................... Thanks Mike, Jim, Bruce for the opportunities and the joy of being a member ..... sorry guys, but I really feel this way. Blue Today, 06:44 PM

If you got an address such as rosella.savoldi@something.com that would be an address. info@whothehellcares is an address for general inquiries that will be sent to functional departments in well organized companies.

I'm gone lets just hope nothing from all this BS falls back in Mike's basket which would suck, and I now do think it's a troll and Mike did nothing. It was fun for awhile now it's not after doing some thinking,never thought a thread should be shut down before this one. It is doing nothing but maybe hurting Mike, I'm outta here, good luck.
