I had a website called "invictamized.com" I kept active for a year or so. I killed it midsummer ... guess I don't need to comment goofy Doesn't stop me from buying them but I go into a purchase knowing it's either disposable or knowing I can use after market parts on it. I am appalled that people actually send watches back to the manufacturer at all! I equate that with sending my Toyota back to japan for a tune up!

I bought 3 Invictas in the past few months and all are doing very well. However I buy them from Precision Time (a mall AD) so I can check them out first and make sure they are working examples. Should I have a problem then PT will deal with Invicta. All I do (knock on wood) is return the watch to the store. I will never buy an Invicta unless I can see the watch I am buying up close an personal. PS-the PT prices are usually as good , or better, than SNBC albeit without Value Pays.

The below is just my opinion ONLY. If you disagree, please don't take it personal because it's a general comment. I thought this board is for the "discriminating" watch collector. The reason why I'm going into watch collecting is not to collect common names you can buy at the local Sam's or Costcos but from unique, uncommon destinations like Marc's IW or Berg's Orsa. I've been wearing Seikos (one at a time, not a collection) for the longest time and never really realized the wider array of choices out there until recently. In short, I can't see myself buying an Invicta just because it's cheap. And I can't see myself buying a Rolex because it's expensive. In fact, I can't see myself buying another Seiko (unless of course it's the 600M Marinemaster). All are widely available. It's all about being proud of wearing your watch, no matter what the price -- a watch that reflects who you are as an individual -- and that to me is wearing a UNIQUE watch. People see you wear a Seiko, Invicta, and Rolex and they make a judgement about you. From now on, I'll keep them guessing! ![]()

While I do not take offense to what you say (nor do I take it personally), I do find it necessary to respond for, if no other reason, clarification. This forum is for all watch enthusiasts...watch "discrimination" is up to the buyer. I happen to find both quality and style in the Seiko's and Orient's I own. I also own Rolex, Cartier, Breiltling, Hamilton, ORSA, Stowa, Enzo, Trias, ZENO, etc....along with a few "choice" early Invicta watches. In agreement, I don't discriminate by price...I discriminate by what I like. Many hear like the Freak...I do not...and, there is nothing wrong with shopping at Sam's or Costco. They also carry a variety of watches including, but not limited to, Breitling, Rolex, Cartier, Movado, Zenith, Chase-Durer, Victorinox, TAG, Cole, et al, for the discriminating collector. There are some who might say that buying from "boutiques" off the Internet is not very discriminating...I am not one of those. But choice is choice...and it is very personal...so...bottom line, this forum is for any watch enthusiast who enjoys and wishes to participate.
