Hahaha! I have to laugh. Looks like I may have to return it. Does not pop out to wind mode, and upon screwing in...is very stubborn for first 1/4 turn??? Eyal Lalo...can your Co. Produce a watc/model with NO gliches? Or is that part of the Invicta charm? I am sensing a name change to Outvicta. smile8.gif

Sorry to here about both your issues, better luck next time. You both may be able to improve your odds if you chose another company to purchase from, its just an idea. I thought I would throw it out there. With the problem that Mike had with his, that is three in a row, it is not like I am keeping score on Inv. or any thing. Wish you both the best.

Thanks Eric.. I figured..."what are the odds" And I got my answer. Very high. Most likely will ship back tomorrow. Off Invicta for a second, I am really digging this "fashion brand" Diesel. I found this on Ebay for just $129. listed as "swiss made automatic." although I have seen pictures where it clearly similar models show 21 jewel "Miyota Co. Rotor...Not too shabby. I have always liked their retro cases etc. Thrown in the "automatic" feature and...for $129 I think I may have to buy this 43x50mm giant. What do you think? Either way, 2824 or Miyota 8215...not too shabby. Case is cool. Attachment: B000E2B1X4.01-A1YKB7U8F5OGND._AA280_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg (Downloaded 44 times) Last edited on Sat Dec 9th, 2006 12:01 am by |

The deisels are different and some of the styles are cool .... I never really thought about buying one..... because the were always quartz models sold for 60 bucks in the malls .... I had no idea that they were making swiss automatic models ?!?!? What movement ??? Any idea ???

This particular model is said to be "Swiss made" Maybe the case? The rotor reads: Miyota Co. 21 jewels. I have read that they are making them in "switzerland" I believe their parent company has a factory there and they recently begun their new automatic line from there?? Who knows...I just picked one up on Ebay for $129. I will let you guys knwo once it arrives. hand6.gif They have stunning designs...very 70s.

Hey Gaspar, hopefully it's nothing too serious with your COSC. Not a bad $ for that one. Maybe ShopNBC is their outlet for irregular Invictas? It seems as though this might be the case. They pass them off and hope for customer ignorance.
