 OK, I confess to owning several Invictas and up until recently, had been very satisfied with their products. A few months back, I bought a Dune Diver (automatic)and it ran fine for the first few days. Then I noticed that the second hand would stick at about the #7 and stay stuck until the #10; then it would run fine until it came around to the #7 again (I was able to coax it thru the dead zone by tapping it against my hand).

After hearing countless horror stories here and elsewhere about Invictim service, I decided to take it in to my local jeweler and see what they had to say; I figured it might just be dirty, since it ran well except for one area on the dial.

So, dropped it off and waited a couple weeks and when I got it back, it ran just fine; looked immaculate and cost me only $12. Frankly, I wouldn't even have looked at the watch for less than $20, but I'm not arguing. Since stupid Invictim wants $20 to even have you send it in for warranty work, why not try it local, first? I realize that, in principle, Invicta should be held accountable for it's poor quality and made to repair it, but I guess being pragmatic is the bottom line for me.

So, I'm a happy camper...but even more wary of Invictim now.
