I agree Chris and know COSC only tests movements and not completed Watches as I posted...but it would be Illegal to place a failed COSC movement in a Watch and call it COSC...but then again it's Invicta
I picked up a COSC Invicta Admiral...paperwork and all(issuing the COSC documemnt is solely upon the manufacturer to issue to purchaser and not COSC)..but am having a winding stem problem and haven't even worn the Bohemuth for more than a Pic!!!...apparently the SW200 is having this problem (winding stem not properly seated)....the crown stem does not always release or engage position to set the date time or wind without some playing with...go figure...should have known better but I had a Huge credit due me by Slop!...so with COSC movement and all it is still an assembled by Insticya!!!coyote2.gif Just to be clear we're not in disagreement you just have more faith than I have.
Also to be clear COSC tests completed movements not assembled watches.
I believe movements are serialized before they are tested so even if they fail they still have the serial number which means without the paperwork in hand you could have a serialized movement that actually failed COSC tests!?
I would trust that a Rolex actually passed COSC and many other brands that have large numbers of movements tested but I would be suspecious of a movement from Invicta that they openly hail as not having papers!
