Note:

This is NOT political only my personal perspective.

Really could care less!

Whether they do or don't life goes on. In the greater scheme of things it is as important as

a single grain of sand on a beach.

But I bet it will be sometime before BP stops the leak or unemployment falls below the 9 -

10%, both of which is far more significant and effecting far more lives, then a handful of

movements.

I know the movement in my timepiece to be authentic and I believe they were obtained by

legal/lawful means. Did DD work directly, indirectly, at all with Invicta. Don't care!

What the problem is and/or how it occurred? Interesting reading, but don't care.

How it will be corrected, interesting but since I am not the one making the repairs, don't

care.

So why don't I care regarding this timepeice, because it has no effect on my life or a

majority of life.

What DO I care about with regards to this timepiece?

That I have a completely functional timepiece - I do!

That IF a problem arises in the future it will be taken care of - It will!

BTW - these have no effect on my life or the majority of life either.

So my suggestion for today - for all the present and future dad's, have a Happy Father's

Day.

The CEO of a rather large watch company was basically called a "liar" at his

website. Then there was evidence brought forward to support that claim. This can not be a

good thing. If he(Eyal) never says anything about It then he Is guilty as charged, at least In

many peoples minds. Many consumers who buy watches and o

Internet Is a wonderful tool. To have something like this hanging over ones head cant be

good for business. Maybe Im wrong, It would not be the first time. I just dont see a

"statement" of any kind comming after all this time ha

"Hello, geeks, look at your watch, now back to mine, now back at your watch, now back to

mine. Sadly, yours may be broken, and we apologize. Look down, back up, where are you?

You’re on my Invicta yacht with the watch of your dreams. What’s in your hand, back at

me. I have it, it’s an oyster with a yellow box containing that watch you love. Look again,

the yellow box is now diamonds. Anything is possible when Invicta is at the helm. I’m on a

horse."

No matter how one feels about this whole thing .............. This was one of the best

posts yet!! LMAO!!! Thanks Bro!!!

Since I own this watch and mine works fine, I think your terms "festering turd" are a bit

strong. I think you might be correct with your overall opinion, just be careful about your

insults.

I am happy you got a working one but, anything with a 50% catastrophic defect rate earns

that title. How would you feel about a new car that would only start 50% of the the time or,

a specific model TV that 50% did not work, it is a lemon of epic proportions. Don't mean to

offend you but, what would you call it?

Look...many of you MAY not care about this....

that is your prerogative ....

but what I think you fail to realize is that this has MUCH bigger implications for

future issues...

If Invicta misrepresented the truth about DD....

which I am still waiting for an answer...

Then what does mean about their honesty the next time around...

on ANYTHING ELSE they claim....

THAT...is the real story behind this story

Invicta made numerous claims about it's association with D-D in the production of the

D letter he said there was no such partnership, and Invicta was

D. As a result D-D will have very little to contribute to this joint

D will have very little to contribute to this joint



proof of that. I have not seen emails from the owners of DD that there was no relationship

whatsoever. Until I see Mr. Becker's statement proved, I have to give the benefit of the

doubt to Invicta. Innocent until proven guilty. But

of some sort or I will not be purchasing more Invicta's any time soon.

Do you have facts on the EXACT # of watches that had problems? I doubt it very much. And

I'd call it a success, if I happen to be the owner of such a working and non-problematic

watch.

You can call it dodging a bullet, or just getting lucky.

I call it glass half full.

In this day of Internet, email, instant messaging, global cell phone, etc. I find it very difficult

to believe that a company could not get news out quicker. Heck, whenever my boss wants a

meeting. No matter where you are in the world you better get on that call.

See the thread containing the poll about defective DD Speedways. I know the respondents

are not all of the people who purchased but the rules of statistics say a sample size of that

size, given the total number sold, gives a high confidence rate of 95% of that data. At least

that is what someone posted on that thread (or another of these DD threads), who probably

knows more about statistics than I.

I am only interested in the facts. Online surveys can't ever be trusted, ever.

• Prior to this D.D. Debacle, There has been NO communication between Invicta or any

known--or appropriately identified--Invicta representative with DD.

• DD has assumed NO responsibility for any faults, claims or other issues supposedly

advanced by Invicta, or anyone else acting in their name.

• If someone else--especially an already registered customer--has purchased our

modules and resold them to Invicta, they are reponsible for any issues which may

arise. I am the only official purchase conduit for any US address, and Invicta has never done any business with me or any official DD representative.

The statement will come when both Invicta AND D-D have a statement ready.

These are two significant companies, and both are releasing statements from the top of the

executive offices in each... it won't be overnight. Sorry for the delay.
