I'm not ashamed to say I like the look of the watch and sometimes they hit a home run. Anybody got one and wish to comment??

And of course I know who I am dealing with and the crapshoot that really is...

cool10.gif I think it will make a great everyday watch Mark. It's big, but has some nice curved lugs and should fit you nice. Miyota movement, so should be trouble free.yourock.gif

Cool!!

I am very curious about the Scuba v2 which Randy is gonna get. Should be a bit different with the MOP and different movement. It really is a doozy!!

Really a rock solid watch IMHO. The only fault I find with it is I would have liked a little taper at the clasp. Maybe 24mm or 22mm.

That's funny because one of the things I find most appealing the the uniform width of the bracelet and its girth... yeah, I said GIRTH. I swear you could beat a man to death with the Scuba!! Not that I would or anything.

Same size. For some reason I thought the new one was bigger too but Tony set me straight and I took a look at mine. Here are my thoughts on it if interested:

Uh-oh...

I jumped on the bandwagon too, gotta stop watching late night watch shows. This is my 2nd Invicta.

I saw this last week, I just had to have it for a wedding coming up:



I got it from Overstock for $98 and it came yesterday. I only had a chance to wind it up but so far I really like it. Especially the way the lugs attach into the case, and the strap looks great. I know it is Chinese but it just grabbed me, I think it will look great with a suit.

Wrist shots to follow :)

Cheers,
Griff
