UPDATE: New info on the supposed "Debacle" over the validity of D-D movements
I just got off the phone with Eyal and need to update everyone on some facts. It is now clear that there was a misunderstanding on this whole matter. An official statement would be forthcoming by Invicta (Eyal Lalo) and D-D (Mr. Chris Becker) together, in a few days. In the interim there are some facts that must be mentioned:
All movements are guaranteed to be authentic DD Mr. Chris Becker is a legitimate and correct person in the United States and does represent D-D Directly, I do apologize if I assumed otherwise. The issues with the movement are not an outcome of DD or their module. The Technical issue has been determined to be in the Dial level placement over the movement and some of the hand tolerance being used - It has been determined that by ordering the proper part (a washer to raise the dial over the movement) from D-D Invicta can solve the problems that has occurred on some of the models
This is my final statement on this matter until I release the official statement from Eyal and Mr. Becker. That will be sent to me directly to distribute.
Feel free to distribute this information wherever you'd like....... -Jim
****** EDIT ****** After posting my thread, this was posted. A direct reply from Mr. Becker from D-D on the subject.
from Christopher Becker <********.com> reply-to Christopher Becker <*******.com> date Mon, Jun 14, 2010 at 4:57 PM subject Re: Dubois-Depraz and Invicta
We have determined today that the movement is in fact genuine, and that there are no technical problems associated with the movement from the factory. An official statement will be issued on the net shortly.
Best, Chris __________________

Will he include details about where the movements were obtained (DD/other)? Who were the "stern" conversations with? Status of "ongoing projets" with DD? Were watches really shipped to DD for repair?

Thanks. So we go from Mr Becker stating that DD has never dealt with Invicta, nor purchased any movements, to "misunderstanding". Guess I will have to wait until the official statement for clarity because with only statements from DD all I can see is a blur.

It appears from the statement from Jim, that Mr Becker may have been misinformed about the status of the customer relationship between DD and Invicta. A joint statement from Invicta and DD (Mr Becker) should clear it all up. Then we will all be happy campers with nice timepieces. maxkonin View Public Profile Send a private message to maxkonin Find all posts by maxkonin Add maxkonin to Your Contacts #12 Yesterday, 02:38 PM

While I appreciate Jim's response it doesn't clear the air from the email that our member qwikfix received from Mr. Becker. Mr. Becker claimed all along that there was no contact between Invicta and DD and that Invicta was not a customer of theirs, that on Friday 6/11 Mr. Becker received and email directly from Eyal stating that the issue was resolved and the hands were the issue. With Jim's acceptance of Mr. Becker's position with DD it gives even more credence to the email that qwikfix received. Still a lot of unanswered questions regarding what was claimed before and what is coming to light. DD is going to protect their reputation. If the movements didn't come directly from DD as was claimed, and DD is sticking to this claim, where did they come from? Do an internet search on this issue and you will find DD/Mr. Becker sticking to his claims in the emails. Doesn't sound like confusion on his part. Remember his validity as the North American DD contact was really only doubted here. Time will tell. Now to add to the "blur" qwikfix's post with his email from Mr. Becker is gone.

Happy that the Movements are indeed real... for all that have invested in this watch... My only concerns that I have is all the past statements made by Invicta as a Team on the Air selling of this product..
I want to beleive that we were not mislead by the facts presented when selling this product as all of us are well aware of the facts when they air this on the shop....and in posts as well here at WG's... Sometime when pushing a product not always are there True facts being presented.... and from what I have seen and read there is alot of unawnser questions still... My concern lies with Invicta as the truth on the facts that were said about this watch being presented on the Shop. "Honesty is the best policy" in my book.. as I live by that and have taught my Boys the same... I want to continue to buy Invicta but I want to also believe in there product line as well.. and Yes I own a few watch's and NO never had a issue with any what so ever.. I want to Stress this is NOT A BASH toward Invicta or anyone else at WG's Just a simple Question or questions on the truth of all facts.. Many know me here as I have sold many watch's and have traded as well.. Thanks God bless Tony __________________

Wow, the sapphire-mineral crystal issues with the Lupah Reserve, the QC issues with the Lupah Reserve, the Swiss = Swiss Made issue, now the DD movement issue with the Speedway Reserve ... Does this happen to other well-known fashion watch companies as well? When I first got into Invicta about five years ago, this was unheard of, especially with the Reserve Line. What happened?

Now we can all rest assured that their was no conspiracy against the people by Invicta and it was just a honest misake, one maybe that could have been corrected at the factory who knows. But now all us Invicta fans can rest easy, and all those because of this was not gonna buy a watch from them because of this can feel free to do so. chitown View Public Profile Send a private message to chitown Send email to chitown Find all posts by chitown Add chitown to Your Contacts #35 Yesterday, 05:12 PM

Jim thank you! But their was never a single doubt in my mind. I had the silvertone appraised over a week ago (for insurance purposes) by 2 dealers of luxury watches in Vegas that sell or sold other timepieces with the DD movement. This was done for me as a favor (pay back to these gentlemen will be steep! ). For those that own one, PM me and I will be happy to inform you of the appraised value from the dealers (not that kind of dealer ) located in the forum of Caesar's Palace and the Palazzo. So again congratulations to all those that snagged a working timepiece, you will not
be disappointed. __________________

Just think of it this way. when you are the dog on top of the heap, everyone wants a piece of you. Invicta has been on the VERY top of the affordable Fashion and Utility Watch heap for a long time. Eyal has made some VERY nice products that many of us have enjoyed. I always understand that things can happen, and I always keep in mind that someone, somewhere, may try to spoil that reputation for the sake of taking advantage of a great brand. That having been said, I reserve the time and room, for Invicta & Dubois-Depraz to get together and explain to their satisfaction, what is the truth. I don't need an apology, nor do I think they owe one. __________________

Jim, Thanks for this thread. It makes me feel much better. I can't even begin to imagine how painful this whole situation must be for you. The only thing of which I have been completely certain from the beginning is that this mess is not of your making yet you continue to step up and make informative posts. Thanks again.
I still have one unanswered question, though: what about the email from the gentleman at DD in Switzerland? It was in French but I pretty much understood it and he said in no uncertain terms that Invicta had never been a DD customer, he was surprised even to receive the inquiry, DD only sold to the "great Swiss brands," etc. Will anyone from Invicta or DD be commenting on THAT email? I'm very curious about that one. Thanks.

We will end this one here also, & wait for the joint Invicta/ DD statement... __________________
