I knew if anyone had one of these Lupahs it would be you Eric...that is a Stunner!!! I still have many of my 1st generation Invictas that I can say were truly well built Compared to what is being pushed today by Invicta ...The Invictas from the 1st Year Productions are of My Favorites ...apparently How much Money could be made became more important than CS/QC some of the newbies have No Idea what we all became addicted to with the Original Invictas and why we are all so upset today
What exactly happened to building quality timepieces?
What drives a person to sellout?
Prime example is the Invicta that is in the collection that was knocked off by everyone including Invicta. This watch has a hand setting of fully faceted diamonds. It was never marketed to the public over the Internet or the on shopping channels. It is as I understand it from the predragon days of the design work for the Lupah and is a 40mm case. It has a real ETA G10 not a swiss parts movement and the diamonds were all hand inspected before setting. How do you go from building a quality fashion watch to what it finally became? The same thing can be said for most of the watches that are produced by a lot of companies. Simple greed is to easy of an answer to a much more complicated problem
