With several dashes of salt, a few gentle nudges in the ribs and a couple of winks, here is an excerpt from the new Boscoe Book's title, Eyal-Speak: The Unofficial Invicta Dictionary. This is a must-have for all serious fans of the brand. Expect it in bookstores in 2012!
WHAT HE SAYS: This is a Swiss watch.
WHAT HE MEANS: This watch was made with some parts that were once in Switzerland. The plane stopped in Geneva and the way to Thailand.
WHAT HE SAYS: Look at this attention to detail.
WHAT HE MEANS: We made sure we were maximizing our profits and that all the price tags were in place before we shipped it out.
WHAT HE SAYS: This is a patented design.
WHAT HE MEANS: Some one holds the patent. Not necessiarily Invicta. But I'd like you to think we do.
WHAT HE SAYS: Automatic movements are becoming scarce.
WHAT HE MEANS: I'm raising my prices. Big time!
WHAT HE SAYS: We're licensed by Citizen Myiota. Don't take a chance on gray market movements.
WHAT HE MEANS: Only buy Invictas. Don't risk your money on those awful Rolex clones of the 8926.
WHAT HE SAYS: We're all about the customers.
WHAT HE MEANS: We're all about the customer's...money.
WHAT HE SAYS: Every Invicta watch comes with a one year warranty.
WHAT HE MEANS: It will take you a year just to get through to our customer service people.
WHAT HE SAYS: We brought back this timepiece as a special thank you to our loyal customers and fans.
WHAT HE MEANS: We made a ton of these things and tried to sell them at quadruple keystone. Nobody bit. Now we're slashing the price to unload them. Even my dog hates this patented design.
WHAT HE SAYS: I urge you to get on the phone now. There's a high risk of sell-out.
WHAT HE MEANS: If you don't call now, it'll take me years to unload this junk.
WHAT HE SAYS: Gen-u-eyene sapphire crystal.
WHAT HE MEANS: Mineral crystal painted sapphire blue.
WHAT HE SAYS: Highest quality hand-set diamonds.
WHAT HE MEANS: Industrial grade.
WHAT HE SAYS: We've made many significant upgrades on this model.
WHAT HE MEANS: Okay, you caught me. The old movement was crap, the hands fell off and the bracelet kept breaking. You got wise and stopped buying.
WHAT HE SAYS: We're offering you this OTV at a ridiculously low price just to show you what Invicta is capable of.
WHAT HE MEANS: There's a sucker born every minute.
WHAT HE SAYS: I appreciate your support.
WHAT HE MEANS: Buy more watches.
WHAT HE SAYS: Thank you.
WHAT HE MEANS: I've squeezed you dry - for the moment.
WHAT HE SAYS: Invicta's been around since 1837.
WHAT HE MEANS: Military time.
WHAT HE SAYS: This is part of our Vintage Collection.
WHAT HE MEANS: We found this stuff buried in dust in the back of our warehouse.
WHAT HE SAYS: The hands are covered in Tritanite to glow for an extended period of time.
WHAT HE MEANS: Two minutes.
