Just unwrapped my first watch purchase in 7+ years (long-time for a 25 year old). I told myself I wouldn't wear a watch until I could afford one I liked (after running through many fakes when I was young and ignorant).

So I caved when I saw many wealthy clients wearing their Invicta's proud, so I picked one up (with a set of cufflinks, on Rue La La last week. Here it is (with clashing bronze 'links).

Apparently the advice you asked for and received in 2008 wasn't followed...

Yes many wealthy people buy Invictas from SlopNBC...NOT!!

Mark, you crack me up!!

Congrats on the new purchase , but IMO as well as most you should've saved more for a quality piece ,but then again every1 has to start somewhere & ALOT of WIS started w/ INVICTER

...Hope you enjoy your new piece

William...I'm really liking that Isofrane on the Nimo D-Date!!!

(I've been considering it for quite a while...)

With the short lugs on this case, how's the fit getting it mounted up? (I'm assuming the relatively soft and compressive qualities of the Isofrane rubber make it a breeze to get on the watch...as opposed to leather straps which require a fair amount of thinning at the lugs to successfully mount on these cases).

Great summertime combo IMO!!!

It was a breeze strapin' her up on the Iso. I originally purchased it for the Doxa 5000T BUT FOR THE LIFE OF ME I CANNOT GET THE DOXA SCREWS TO BUDGE, I'M GOING TO E.D. Marshals 2day to see if they can help me, they have an awesome jeweler there that said he would steam it for me...fingers crossed
