Saw this offered on the sales forum and just couldn't resist it. another sweet deal between 3T member. Big thanks to jsb806f!thankyou.gif

 

Automatic 21 jewel movement
Shock resistant
46mm Case
Surgical grade solid stainless steel case with hexagonal screws
Black ionic plating
Stainless steel exhibition case back with colored glass
Genuine carbon fiber dials with Tritnite® luminous printed indexes in orange
Anti-reflective mineral crystal
Tritnite® luminous hands
Date display
Techno material strap
200 meters Water Resistant


I've wanted to try a watch in this case style and am growing old waiting on a certain brand to make 3T members an offer too good to refuse so this had to come my way. This is a big bold watch which is surprisingly well balanced and quite comfortable on my 7.25 in wrist. Feels big but not ginormous... of course I've been wearing a monstrous Alpina all day. I feel like Hucky!!:D Except flabbly and weak...:P

John was kind enough to send an extra strap which looked ok but I swapped out my JRT Exotics double stitched and think it suits the watch much better than it did my Vixa. There's a super strong Miyota movement inside so I don't think you can really go wrong in that regard. The IP finish is well done, much better than the S1 slinger I had. The carbon fiber dial is very legible and the hands have pretty good lume. I would've put the date at 4:30 but it is tucked nicely inside the 3:00. Watch is rated to 200 m WR without a screwdown crown. I don't think I'll test it.:shock: Lug screws are all show and no go... pure adornment only. I'm not sure what purpose the red lens on the caseback serves but its neither here nor there. The "techno material" strap supplied seems like a nice strap. I may have a go at it with an orange sharpie and go from there.

All in all a neat fun watch from the hallowed halls of Invicta.subtlelaugh.gif Here's hoping the other brand hits a discount and I can upgrade this case style to something more Swiss-ish.

Q&Ds:









Thanks for taking a look!

Very nice Paxman.  It does look a great deal like another watch I've admired from some other company.

Great Pick! Mine gets a lot of wrist time. Also I find I get more positive comments when I wear it than my Rolex. They sure jump out at you!ThumbsUp02.gif

I thought about getting one of those  but then saw it was 46mm and my others are 40mm much different fit than the round versions.

Glad you like it really nice looking color too.
