My wife hands me one of her Invicta Baby Lupah's this morning and says it stopped running. Probably needs a new battery or something.

Well dear, it is a little more than that...  subtlelaugh.gif  subtlelaugh.gif  subtlelaugh.gif

Yes, indeed. It is a new one for me. I have never seen that many numbers fall off a dial. And, they jammed the seconds hand. mistake.gif

I doubt trying to get this watch fixed under warranty would be worth it considering the reputation of Invicta service, shipping costs, etc. I will just keep it as a reminder not to buy another one for her.

Hey, I actually got it running again. I shook it until the numbers dislodged from the seconds hands and fell down to the side.

Good question! Nothing that I know of. But, we live in Scottsdale, Arizona. It is dry as  a bone here and hot as hell in the summer - 110 degrees F or so.

My guess is the glue used to apply the numbers wasn't tested in the dry AZ climate.

Yes, it reminds me of the watches that have the diamonds floating around in a sandwich crystal of sorts. Her's just has cheap applied numbers. subtlelaugh.gif

Mike, I agree with Oscar. You need to have thie dial design patented. It also gives the Franck Muller Crazy Hours a run for its moneysubtlelaugh.gif
