This is an amazing watch, the last Invicta I bought was the OGII and it was just "so so" compared to this!
It had the tiniest little ding on the side of the case but I polished it out with the Dremel first thing. It's also got some crap on the Orange 12 o’clock marker but you can't tell it's there without a Lupe on. When I get bored I'll open it up and clean off the marker. This is an Overstock.com SAII and I presume the above mentioned blemishes are what landed it there.
It's more comfortable on my wrist than the OGII, something about the shape makes it wear better on a smaller wrist so that’s a huge bonus!
The fit and finish on the case and bracelet are top notch. Conspicuously missing is the "INVICTA" brand tattooed on the side of the case and mid links.
Besides the above mentioned crud on the 12 o’clock marker the dial work is nothing short of amazing.
To be honest I am surprised and impressed, this is only my second Invicta Purchase (though I have several others from trades) and it’s just not the watch I would expect if you believed all the bad press this brand gets on the web!
I know the Invictaphobes out there hate to hear such blasphemous talk but I am going to have a hard time beating that dead horse much longer if I keep seeing watches from Invicta like this. Makes me think a lot harder about their new scuba model that’s for sure!
The only complaint I have about the design is the bezel, it’s difficult to turn when everything is dry and I imagine it is impossible to use at all when you’re in the water and every thing is cold and wet! The coin edge needs to be taller and deeper and not rounded off then the watch would truly merit the 500 meter depth rating. Of course that really doesn’t matter to me cuz I am a desk diver but if it’s there it should be fully functional.
