nice watch Clyde but I think it is time to give you a bit of advice as it was given to me and many others on this board years ago...buy an Invicta to wear and then discard once it breaks as they will never have any value beyond what you paid and even less down the road...and believe me from experience it is very Much less as you can't even give them away! I own more 1st generation Invicta LE's than anyone on the web...bar none...some still in plastic and bought when Invicta actually did make a decent watch for us beginners at the time and I wish I would have listened earlier as my WIS mentor continually warned me! :(
...quick story of when Tim Temple put up the very 1st Lupah...I don't mean #1 of an LE I mean the very 1st Lupah ever made and used in all the adds...mag cover of IW and on the shows when Slop had a real watch show and it was documented as such and it only brought $80. on the Bay!!!...he had to buy it back! ...so please do not buy into the hype with what is said on Slop and the addiction of value pays and start saving your $ for something more substantial is my advice Buddy hand6.gif ...and Please where did you hear that Lupah had a high end Seiko Spring Drive engine cause that sounds like total Slop/Jimmy Sniffles BS...that Lupah uses the SII NE20 Automatic Multi-function and isn't even a true chrono which just happens to be a subsidiary of Seiko....for what you paid for that Lupah you could have bought 1 of 100 true Swiss watches ...excuse my rant but I just get a bit miffed when I hear what some really good WIS like you Clyde are being taken in by with Slop and the Invicta mongers!
I don't buy Invicta for any sort of investment, I own Rolex, Omega etc. for that. Some are really cool fun designs and are becoming better quality as time goes on. I like unusual things some times. Actually, I heard that this particular movement wasn't even made by Seiko, it may be made it China using Seiko parts. Either way there is a five year warranty so it should last that long......
