Indyzed Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Anyone here on this site a fan of Invicta watches? I just picked up a 26 jewel (Sellita SW 200) swiss made Invicta Pro Diver with blue MOP dial and solid end links. This is my 5th Invicta. I'm very satisfied with their quality and cost. We have a shopping network here in the states that is the largest vendor of Invicta watches and they have some unbelievable prices. I'm wondering what kind of reputation Invicta has in Europe.

ir_fuel Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I never heard of them. I only buy CASIO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indyzed Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 I never heard of them. I only buy CASIO I hear that all the time over here. Invicta sold 1.7 million watches last year yet they are not available thru the normal outlets such as jewelry stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3FIDDYZ Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Not that well known in the UK, they get sold on QVC and the like over here and some shops. I think most people think they are Rolex Copies and as they are not sold in jewellers they arnt that good. Movements are good for the money though.

The Pro Diver is a direct copy of the Submariner but I don't want to spend $5,000 for a watch. I agree wholeheartedly that at least it has a good movement.

Chesterfield Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I was hanging my nose over a Movado while on holiday in the states over new year. The new year sale prices on them in the states made them about half the UK price. I didnt bother in the end as although I'd like one, I cant really justify an expensive watch, as Im a bugger for scratching them or forgetting to take them off when doing any sort of DIY and damaging them - so I stick with Fossil, and as per usual when I go to Vegas, bought another one of those (which although only £35 in the US, are still half UK price) They ar waterproof so I can swim in them and dont cost the earth so dont cause great upset if I damage them.

Zedrush Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I dont wear watches, my brother loves his breitling watches but I think the face is too huge, it reminds me of Flava flava when he wore that clock around his neck My dad got me a watch when I was 16 I still have it today in its boxed, only wore it twice, here is what it looks like, ancient now Omega Seamaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Chesterfield, If you scratch watches get one of the ceramic Rado's waterresistant to 50m (perhaps more...) and scratch proof case and braclet... Fortunatly I used to be in the jewellery trade so am currently sporting a lovely Panerai. Got a fair collection of other watches too...

Most expensive ONE i Sold was just short of 100k and there wasnt a diamond on it!! Suppose its subjective, after all we could all buy 2nd hand saxos or 205's but we buy a nicer car and then spend cash on them to make them nicer...

3FIDDYZ Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Some of the watches that some in at that cost take about the same amount of time and effort just that there more hand made and alot smaller !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H5 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 £16k is hardly the lower end of anything except houses! Most people never spend that on a car let alone a watch! I have a Tag or two, but my boss has half a dozen limited edition Rolex's / Breitlings etc. that he buys with his bonus each year. Some of them just look silly though IMO.
