The questioning of Sellita After the presentation of this last Lupah Revolution with the Sellita SW-500 in it, it was kind of funny to hear (and see) that Sellita got several questions concerning the movement, the origins of the movement, the relationship between Sellita and Invicta and also questioning the fact that was presented concerning the information given out that Sellita actually built the timepiece as a part of our ongoing relationship with them. Most of the guys are the same ones that tried to create a "dust up" with Dubois Depraz a while back. Here's one of the questions that was sent: Quote: I understand that you recently sold SW 500 movements to a watch company and also cased the watches for them. It was also claimed you built the entire watch except the original exterior case. I have never heard of such a thing by Sellita. Is this a fact or a mis-statement or misunderstanding by the customer. Here is the response sent from someone in senior management for their operations team: Quote: Thank you for your inquiry we recieved yesterday. Yes, it is correct, that we did assemble / cased-in the entire watch. It was really kind of funny that the question above actually came in from a "fishy" guy that started some of the hater sites that are out there on the Internet. I am going to assume that he is not going to post this response on his site. Anyway, it just goes to show the strong relationships that Invicta has within the watch and movement community the world over. In the case of Sellita, that relationship will be further proven in the future with the Sellita SW-300 and SW-400 (but more to come on that later! LOL!). And also companies like Dubois Depraz, Ronda and many others. Anyway, I thought some of you might find this a little funny. Especially those that have had a bit more interaction with those of a "fishy" nature. __________________ Michael
