Don't know how many of you watched the Invicta presentations this weekend on SLOPNBC, but they had a bunch of them.

Now I own several Invictas, but haven't bought any for about a year or so. Generally, I like their watches and haven't had any bad experiences with quality or customer service. I am, however, growing weary of Eyal's unctuous, shameless exhortions to buy his watches. Damn guy talks so fast he stumbles over his own tongue. And although Ol' Jim is basically a decent sort, he is getting a bit full of himself, of late.

Anyway, during the 10:00 AM presentation with Eyal and some chick, they threw out a nice littel quartz multi-function, calendar/moonphase watch, in a variety of colors and nice features. The regular price was $140, but when they dropped the price, Eyal just about crapped when they dropped it all the way to $59.98. I mean, the look on his face was unforgettable; looked like someone had just stolen his football and run off with it. He was visably pisssed, and kept this up the rest of the day, thru all the subsesquent presentations.

The watch was nothing special for $140, and for $100, they would have sold a bunch of them. But, when the price went to $59.98, I fugured I might as well get one (navy).

During the 11:00 PM presentation, he said this was the absolute last time anyone would see this watch because they could never bring it back for more then the $60. And he also alluded to dire consequences if it ever happened again.

Anyway, even as cynical as I am, I believe Eyal WAS really the victim of a SLOPNBC screwup, and it was nice to see him squirm.

Oh yeah, I also bought the new Abyss Diver they had at $149.

Anyone else see this?

Jim
