I decided to cancel the Bell and ross copy...for this watch. Sapphire, 2824 ETA 500m Water resistancy etc... Same price, more for the $. The Bell & Ross copy was mineral glass, miyota and 200 meter. Any thoughts on this scuba diver 3076 model? Looks chunky... Attachment: J170690_250.jpg (Downloaded 96 times) Last edited on Tue Nov 21st, 2006 07:10 pm by |

Pax has that model....and at first when I heard he ordered, I winced because he has a huge collection of dive watches and I thought it would not compare ...BUT...when I saw and looked and wore...IT EXCEEDED ALL EXPECTATIONS ...somebody on 3T said " even a broken watch gets it rights twice a day......This is a hugh chunker , well built for an Invicta ....but beware, it is heavy, very heavy

I think you'll like this better than the B&R clone, Eric. Very solid. As with any Invicta, caveat emptor... check the watch upon arrival. Many had loose screws in the caseback, stubborn crowns and mystery pins attaching the lugs to the bracelet. If you are bored and want to read more of my drivel specific to this watch I wrote my own review at: http://paxman-wasting.blogspot.com/2006/08/invicta-scuba-diver-500-3076.html You'll find I lost a screw on day one... The watch has settled in though nicely and I wore it today with mucho gusto!! Cheers, Pax

I had one Eric and thought it was well worth the $299. on bracelet..I traded it to Mike and he loves it!:) For $258. it is a great value just watch out for the link pins they use a single collar that if you lose them Invicta won't send you any which sux!... Wear it in good Health Buddy!hand6.gif I ordered the Invicta COSC in SS to have a look see and I also had a nice in store credit I needed to use...I'm curious to see this SW200 COSC movt.:D

Phew I feel better already. Unfortunately...It comes on a rubber strap...Any idea where to get a bracelet for this thing? Can I mod an oyster with a curved link by simply removing the curved link?

You mean the rubber strap is permanent??!? That would not be good.
