CJ,  I think they are saying more than that - I think they are trying to say that if DaVinci and Galileo had collaborated and had access to Invicta's Swiss Watch factory they would have come up with this watch.

Its actually beginning to grow on me.  Luckily I have some
miconazole nitrate ointment in the medicine chest.

Doc...could you copy where you read this? It may help us if we see ithand6.gif

Never mind found it on the slop site for the watch it is a SWIN206 Swiss Quartz from a movement according to the description on slop ....I doubt Invicta is able to get the amount of eta movements needed anymore....but the Chrono version is a Ronda 50/50:) The SW200 is the automatic Invicta has been using by the same company and all I can say is I have the COSC version and it is having winding stem problems since day 1!!!coyote2.gif You also have to remember you are reading Slopnbc where they don't always get the descriptions correct the description says Quartz and the specs say Automatic....who knows what it is !mistake.gif

1st, this is NOT ridicule, 2nd.............it has all been done before, but never in such an atrocious presentation!  The unique location of the date.............my Hammy Avaition has the date at the 6, and it is one of many!

Thanks Oscar.  I saw some of that on SNBC but not knowing the company that makes the movement I was a bit skeptical but then many believe everything they see or hear at SNBC.coyote2.gif
