There are larger one I have that I love such as my ORSA watches, and some smaller ones that are nice like my original Airman and my ZENO Explorer. It still amazes me that MY ENZO and STOWA, without the crowns are as small as they are. THAT is why it amazes me!!!

Okay, now that everyone has kicked my ass coyote2.gif for buying this watch, let me say: 1) While I may not read 100% of the posts, I damn well read close to it. cool10.gif 2) I posted this thread for info, and not getting much, I made a decision. cat28.gif 3) Thanks to all who participated AFTER the purchase...  4) I looked for pre-owned on several of the forums and ebay...and did not find the one for less than $275 (I know...now there will be 100 of them)  5) My bad...I guess I'll have to start piling on all of the Invicta purchases...

I think you made a good buy there. Right now or after Basel it may be hard to get the movement for around that price. LOL ;) And if you Mod it I can't wait to see what ya do. I would grab one and may later if there are any left but I'm going in to many directions right now. Like a dog chasing his tail I'm a Dawg chasing watches. LOL :D Before the prices go through the roof. LOL :D

A half dozen on any given day? I don't think so. That just isn't the case unless you count Fred's posts (your buddy). And based on that, all SEIKO watches could be considered risky as there are dozens of them on sale every day. In fact there are a lot of watches on sale every day. A lot of very high end brands and names. So, being on a sales forum trade corner doesn't mean a watch is crap. IF so, then all of my Steinharts are crap, etc., etc., etc., etc.

Hey guys, I do own one of these and I really like it, the Beige dial is kinda cool, definetly different...here's a pic BTW, just back from my 8 days in Europe, hit 5 cities, unfortuneatly all business, my boss didn't let me stop....so the million dollar/euro question....didn't get to Basel, was close but didn't have time The good news is my boss said if we hit all our numbers this year he will pay for a week for my wife and I next year...more good new, should be a "slam dunk" Attachment: IMG_8527.JPG (Downloaded 42 times)

I'm not talking Bernhardt Instruments but Bernhardt Watch versions(Seasharks etc) seem to pop up on quite a few sales forums including right here ....maybe it was a stretch of them at one time but they seem to turn over :?...and no one said nor implied any risk ...they are probably a nice daily wearer at $199. ....my preference would still be an original Bernhardt Instruments which are no longer made and still seem to hold some value although they sold for morehand6.gif... comparing a small company who makes small quantities like this to Seiko or any other large manufacturer is a stretch to me :D

Guys, relax. I am happy with my purchase. I was just being a little sarcastic and a little facetious. I guess the humor didn't come off as intended...at any rate, this may or may not be my 1st mod project, but, in spite of the dial, I got the case, bracelet and movement I wanted! I'm a happy camper!
