I just recieved my "9937"Invicta watch back from Invicta in hollywood florida. This is the third time this watch has been serviced by them for the same thing! Bezel keeps popping off. Anyways- last time I recieved the watch back, it came back in a different box then i sent it in. I know because I keep all my stuff CLEAN. The box was dirty with scuff marks. So this time I sent it, I marked the box in two different places to make sure That it was mine not someone else's. Well I recieved the watch with NO BOX!!!!!! It was wrapped between two yellow pieces of foam in a CARDBOARD BOX!!! What happened to customer service? Wher the he!! is my box? I will never, I mean never buy an INVICTA WATCH again!!! That is it Im done with them. I am seriously thinking about selling my 9937 with wood box it came in to fund for a orsa!!! Thanks for letting me vent.

Does Invicta require you to send the watch in using their (you're box)? I can't remember. I too have had a watch come back from Invicta quite dirty. It also had to go back as they didn't fix it. It was one of my wife's Angel's.

I don't believe they require it. It just makes it easy for me to pack/ship it that way. I wouldn't want it shipped just in a small box with plastic/paper wrapped around it. I am just surprised that they kept it. When I originally purchased this watch it came in a nice big rose wood box with a glass dome. Thats why I am surprised they shipped it back to me the way they did.

For future shipping to service (Invicta or otherwise), I don't recommend using your supplied box unless the manufacturer requires it. The chance of you not getting it back are pretty high. I was in the home electronics business for many years and walk-in repair departments would usually request that you keep your box or take it back with you. They simply couldn't (or wouldn't) keep track of all the boxes. Once it is out-of-box and waiting for parts, they now have to store the box somewhere. When you send in most electronic gear to a manufacturer's department, they will usually send it back in a plain brown box and not the original. They often pitch your box right away. Again, it is a storage issue in many cases. Obviously, watch boxes are smaller. But, then so are the service areas for watches. So to keep your nice Yellow Invicta box, I suggest never sending it to them. Use something else. I also take the strap and the bracelet off any watch I send in. I just send the head and nothing else.

Sorry to hear that, especially if it were the big wooden box. Ive contacted them before on sending a watch in for service, they told me in big letters "DO NOT send in the original box". They should probably put that somewhere on the warranty card/manual, but it is on the website: Also note the following:

>>I'm not saying a Thing .... O., I have sent watches back to a number of places for repair such as Overstock.com, SWI, Croton, Invicta, Seiko, etc. They almost always tell you not include to the box. I have no love for Invicta's crappy service. So, just send what is required for the repair. Nothing else. Last edited on Sat Aug 26th, 2006 01:22 am by mcwright |

I haven't bought a new Invicta for over 1 1/2 years and will not do so no matter what movement or pricepoint. It is simply not worth the risk. Plus, who want to deal with an outfit fronted by a known con artist? I have, in that time frame, bought 2 of their old classics, an Executive and a 2015, but those were preowned from guys I know and respect, Oscar and TonyD!
