If you can stand to watch this all the way through, It is a CLASSIC Invicta sales presentation on shopnbc.

WTF??? Is it legal in the US to have such low crap sellers on national TV?

Give her a S&W 29 and a bullet!

The other clip seems to be older: The guys never loose it!
Incredible: He still want to sell!laughing.gif

I'm glad that I didn't grow up with that: I saved money...

That Video had me in stitches!! That BIMBO is just one of many who grace the staff of Slop! I just can't believe how I was so brainwashed for so many YEARS!!

I have been working feverishly on some good friends that are still stuck there & on that other forum but I am slowly but surely giving up because it's going in one ear & out the other!

She is incredibly bad. But, as long as people watch and buy she continues to babble on.

Cannot force people to do stuff,if they are happy enough on cloud nine leave em there, I think a lot of people with a big collection of Invicta really do not want to admit things like that. If they are happy though leave em be.

The Original Invicta Watch Co.

Meaning “invincible” in Latin, Invicta watches were actually made as early as 1837. Founder Raphael Picard wanted to bring people high quality Swiss watches at affordable prices. The company began its history in La Chaux-de-fonds, Switzerland.

I fondly recalled when Invicta Watches of yester-year
were a timepiece that was worthy to an Eterna,Longines,
Certina or a Mido. Of course,that was a sentiment held by
a relative of mine who still owns a 1950's manual chronograph.

Eyal Lalo is an embarrassment to every honest CEO
in the watch industry. Watch Time Magazine,even wrote an article about Eyal Lalo a few months ago!

Sad state of affairs.

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.

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 __________________
