Re: Dubois 2021 & Invicta fiasco From: Christopher Becker Ccadubois@dubois-depraz.ch, emetzger@dubois-depraz.ch Sent: Fri, Jun 11, 2010 02:17 Dear , Thank you for your e-mail. As a matter of fact, I received a call about this from someone inm New Jersey just last week. We are currently investigating what has happened here, and can clearly state the following: 1) Invicta has never purchased a movement or module from Dubois-Depraz. We have had sporadic contact in the past, but to date no movement has ever been supplied to them. 2) The 2021 has been made by the hundreds of thousands, and "opinions" notwithstanding, we have never heard from any customer for this movement regarding the types of problems you have described. After hundreds of thousands, we think we would have by now if there were actually issues. 3) Since Invicta is not a customer of ours, we have no idea if the movements alluded to are in fact genuine DD modules or not. We have seen "duplicates" of our modules in the past (sadly, not bad ones, either), and if they are such, Invicta may very well not even be aware that they are, since they have never had the real thing to compare it to. If they are genuine, we do not know how many hands they passed through before they arrived at Invicta, and what treatment they were subject to. 4) We have contacted Invicta Watch and requested not only their reaction to your email, but also 5-10 samples of cased watches with the modules to determine their origin (see 3) above) and initial sales point (both of which we can do). As you and your members are surely also aware, the casing procedure itself is very delicate and can de-regulate a chronometer-grade movement as well as cause damage to components, such as dials and hands, if done improperly. 5) Obviously, the President of Invicta has not had, nor would he have reason to have had, any "loud conversation" with Dubois-Depraz since he is not even a customer. I would be very surprised if he or anyone from his company publicly blamed DD for something of that nature as claimed; it is not his style as I have known him. Any person making the types of claims you have mentioned in your e-mail should be advised to be very sure of their information, and the veracity of any information, before making pejorative public statements, especially on a national network. You may feel free to post this response on your site, and we appreciate your keeping us informed of these events.
Kind regards, Chris Becker Business Development Manager--Americas Dubois-Depraz SA 3 Lastest Threads by arubalou Thread

I really do not believe it, sorry. I would think Eyal is known by most in the watch industry that is why I feel the above is BS. __________________

Personally, I feel admin should have posted this e-mail with some type of disclaimer stating they are aware of this, believe it is a fake and will get to the bottom of it. I think that maybe would have been a better way to deal with it instead, this site and especially Invicta is getting hammered on other watch sites. __________________ There is nothing worse than being alone.

WOW? I hope we all can get some clarification on this & if not, I will no longer be a Invicta buyer. If this is swept under the carpet, that would be insulting to me as a loyal Invicta buyer. I would like answers on this, as I have this model & for now I will hold judgement until further info is giving if this is legit or not? __________________

I CAN not rationalize a company the size of Invicta ..LYING or out and out DUPING their customers ..how would they benefit by this they would lose all credibility not to mention the lawsuits to follow ...how many times have you heard of this kind of SKULDUGGERY occurring in capitalism.....as for that e-mail.. somebody may claim to have more information than they actually do ... there is much more that has to be disclosed before anybody can judge.... __________________

This is the first time I have seen this. WOW. I do find it hard to believe that Invicta would be using a bogus movement, airing it on national tv, and no one from the DD world, or other watch company would know about it. It would be a red flag to someone when they heard that. __________________

A more plausible explanation is that Eyal purchased these movements more cheaply from a vendor claiming they were DD movements. __________________ There is nothing worse than being alone.

Ron here is the problem with your analogy. Assuming these are real DD movements bought 3rd party of course and not worse..... Eyal specifically mentioned on air several times how "special" a watch company needs to be to even be able to get these movements from DD. I specifically remember words like "what an honor" it is to even have DD sell to you. Then there was the follow up from Jim and Michael, stuff like: "He has had many conference calls with the folks at D-D and they are jointly looking into the issue."
"Dubois-Dupraz is working with us directly on a case by case basis to identify and correct the issues with each of the watches." "Invicta had several large scale projects in the works with D-D that are now ON HOLD until Eyal sees that D-D can take care of this issue." "All involved believe the issue is a D-D issue." Either way we will find out soon enough. I don't think the email is bogus regardless of who sent it and several people on other forums who are industry insiders have verified the names from DD on the email are legit. But it might be Mr. Carney was out of the loop on this deal perhaps. I imagine DD's email boxes are full right now, by early this week we should have all the answers straight from DD.

I am not an Invicta apologist by any means. That being said, manufacturers and retailers often buy products from outside sources (middlemen) other than the direct manufacturer. It occurs ALL the time. I highly doubt that these movements are anything other than true DDs purchased from someone other than the manufacturer. __________________

Invicta just took a huge step backwards. __________________

This email originated on a site run by banned members and copied to another site run by banned members who are keeping tallying as to how many times it is posted and deleted. I think the hoax/fake possibility is very high on this one. Look at all of the other posts from the OP. Seems to be someone who joined to start threads about Invicta, __________________

To those who doubt the veracity of the email, email emetzger@dubois-depraz.ch. I have an email from then telling me pretty much the same thing. They didn't know what the hell I was talking about.

This thread will be closed shortly too. I was in the middle of posting in a similar thread yesterday & when I hit submit the thread was closed. I feel sorry for the people who purchased one of these and are now faced with these questions. I ordered then cancelled, ordered and cancelled this watch three times. I am thankful that I did not order it. The owners of the watches have a right to know what they purchased and it should be addressed immediately. I also feel for Jim, I believe that he is a man with integrity and I am sure he doesn’t appreciate his name being associated with all this drama. Yesterday in one of the threads that was deleted someone posted something along these lines. If Invicta stated on the air that these were from DD and had Jim relay this information to the board: "He has had many conference calls with the folks at D-D and they are jointly looking into the issue." "Dubois-Dupraz is working with us directly on a case by case basis to identify and correct the issues with each of the watches." "Invicta had several large scale projects in the works with D-D that are now ON HOLD until Eyal sees that D-D can take care of this issue." "All involved believe the issue is a D-D issue." Then it is reasonable to question all of Invicta’s movements especially the 7750, SW200 etc. That would mean there could be many more of us with a dog in this fight. I hope he was wrong as I own several of them. Once your integrity has been compromised it is hard if not impossible to regain your standing.
I am not passing judgement or assuming anything however there is clearly an issue that needs to be addressed. I have many Invictas, I just got two SANIV’s in on Friday. I HOPE this is a misunderstanding, only time will tell.

IMO if the e mail was fake Jim, MD, or Eyal would post a letter from DD stating the movements are theirs and they are working with Invicta to get this resolved. IMO.
