I am sorry If the information I recieved was incorrect. I was only going by information that I was able to find. I did not mean to offend or upset, insult anyone. Also forgive me if I tried to give accurate information as I recieved it. I am still extremly new at watch collecting. I will in the future not post anything other than pic's. This is really what I like to do. and maybe just maybe I won't upset anyone in regards to Invicta.

You know what I love about the watch you have is the movement is high grade and COSC. Selitta can do a great movement if paid enough, but they can not match the quality for the price of a pure ETA. The thing that I believe is the most significant feature of your watch is the carborundum crystal. That is an an expensive chunk of sapphire, and hard to produce in a commercial quality. If it was not as thick as it is, I would tell you to never wear it, if you did crack it you and no one else would ever be able to afford to replace it. The router work on the dial is nice, but I still stand by the movement and crystal are the features that sell it.

Well guys I assumed that the review was written as an official fact. I am not familiar with all of the inner workings of the watch world. In fact I am just learning about the different types of movements employed by Swiss manufactures. I am sure I will get as wise as you guys but please be patient with me. I have only been collecting a little less than a year. Perhaps starting with Invicta was not a wise choice. I only started with Invicta watches because I read on more than one forum that Invicta was a great place to start. But now in Hind sight maybe it was not the best choice. it is tough to talk about the watches I own because many collectors who have been collecting for many years have moved on. As a result due to bad experiences CS, and QC they are turned off by Invicta watches. When I first ran into the harsh negativity I posted my thoughts in a rather blunt emotionally filled thread. I still love the watches I own but I will perhaps post on more well known and respected brands. I am currently in the hunt for a Tag and have been looking at a few Tissot's that have peaked my intrest. I will post pics when I have made my choice. Thanks for your comments I really did learn something. Shocking but I got it.

Williams Dont ever sweat anything, theyre only watches and were only people, its all good. You will find that your tastes will go all over the place in choices of watches especially as you get older. One mistake I made and I too a noobie, Is I went for Quantity, now Im learning to go or Quality, these men around here will teach ya well. Keep on keepin! Look on the Bright side, this has turned out to be a cool Thread, action all day. Hucky

Hay AM nothing wrong with starting were ya did I started out with Invicta and Stuhrling Original in the automatic arena myself. :) Before that I had done mostly Japan quartz and some manual wind. We all started some where and worked our way up. I am just getting to what I would call mid-stream and will likely sit in the middle for a good while when I make it there as watch collecting goes. ;)

Everyone starts walking the path from some where, the point is not so much where you start but where you finish. The truth is say what you think or believe, I will respect you allot more if you do. If I were you I would never take this personally it is a hobby. Listen to some of these guys, they have made watches more fun for me than they have been for years. If I can get past some of the statements that I took very personally over the past few years, because they grilled me, never having met, spoke to, or me even posted my one post trust me you have nothing to worry about. Have a good night, twenty years down the road of you are still in the same place after hanging around here, then the gloves will come off.:D

have owned an invicta for several years, 10 plus, and it still keeps good time, looks nice, no complaints. i do know that they do copy lots of designs. on other hand there are many others who do as well. if it runs well and looks good i'll wear it. happy watching.
