QUESTION FROM A NEWBIE... I AM LOOKING FOR AN INSTRUMENT WATCH FOR UNDER 500, MUST HAVE A SQUARE CASE. I PREFER A MANUAL WOUND. I CURRENTLY OWN AN I.W.I. MARINE DIVER, PVD CUSHION CASE. I HAVE LOOKED AT THE DEBAUFRES AND THEY LOOK GREAT, A LITTLE PRICEY THOUGH, KINDA LOOKING FOR A BELL&ROSS CLONE. ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD HELP  THANX SIDESHOW |

The lume is average, not near as good as the Nav-B... see Oscar's link above for some other ideas too... sideshow wrote: THANKYOU, HOWS THE LUME? |

Man, I swore off Invicta AND SlopNBC a while ago, but I was "window shopping" over there and found the Instrumental in Black IP with both straps on clearance for $159. Pretty good deal. Add in a 15% off coupon and free shipping for using Paypal and it comes to my door for $135.99. SMOKIN' deal! My fingers are crossed that it'll show up new and unused (around the middle of January), but if not Slop's liberal return policy will come in handy. Not much risk for a watch I always kinda liked... |

Same as yours, buddy! C'mon, that combo looks too sweet!! (Besides, orange was sold out... not that I would have chosen it over the green!) It was your pics and endorsement of this watch that made me decide to pull the trigger. Soooo... thanks! :) |

I ended up getting the same one as you did tony. I liked the one with the gold front but there was just something about the green one all in black and 2 straps to go with it. Last edited on Fri Dec 28th, 2007 10:33 pm by slinky469 |

Me thinks ya' did the right thing....the leather strap is more B&R'sh than the Carbon but both are very well made. Congratsyourock.gif |

My Paypal order was cancelled by SNBC yesterday because "despite their best efforts" they could not authorize my credit card. I reordered using Paypal again (hey, I want free shipping!). Let's see what happens this time... |
