Well, this is my first Invicta. I really like the looks of it and have been wanting a mech. chrono. It is definitley a big, heavy watch. This is going to be a trial for Invicta for me after all the stuff I have been hearing here. If I have trouble I may not buy another. So, hopefully it was made on a wednesday cause I really like the looks of it. Wish me luck.    |

Looks great!. I really like the look of that one too! I had an Invicta (Ocean Ghost) for a while, loved it and had absolutely no problems. The only reason it was sold was for "watch box restructuring". I have seen that some people have had some problems with them but luckily (knock on wood) none were had here and I would consider another Invicta. I wish you luck! :D BTW doesn't Invicta mean "unbreakable" or something like that? |

More of the Ocean Ghost series of watches. Great looking movement but it is a Seagull movement I believe so the swiss thing is another Invicta myth..........great movement though, I hope it treats you well I really like that one |

Looks like a Seagull to me. Now has Invicta started cloning Seagulls in Switzerland?? This is the kind of misrepresentation that is unacceptable!!  |

Now my question is...I have read some reviews on this watch they have all been good but someone had made a comment that no where on the watch does it say swiss made or swiss movement. the discription says its a swiss movement. |

I just looked it over and it does not say swiss anywhere. I think you guys scared me into adding the 4 year warranty. I even got a "special" phone # for service since I bought it from nbc .Well I am going to keep it and let the chips fall where they may. If I have no trouble maybe I will get another. |

I have read all the posts about it and I hope I dont have any trouble. I had to send one of my other watches for warranty work. So far things are good. I will give a detailed account of what happens when the watch returns to me. |

It looks strangely like the Chinese Seagull movement to me...If there is anything "Swiss" in it, it may, at best be some kind of Chinese/Swiss ebauche. But, hey...no one ever accused Eyal Lalo or JS "Grifter" (aka Corona Gorda) of telling the truth!coyote2.gif |
