 Here's  the newest from JIM       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.

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,
