Bought an INVICTA on Ebay from the States. $98.00.

When I opened the package I couldn't believe it. The packaging should cost more than that.

That's right, Eddie.....so you can just imagine what the watch is worth!!

But is your old blue sub really worth $9000 more.

Hi Eddie
I bought the same model with blue face in December, if it gets a bump or two at work - no problem. Yes, the packaging is very good and the watch looks good and feels solid. Accuracy is not bad either, about +20secs/day, good enough for a work watch.
When I get home I put on my AKD!

Nice .

I've had this 9937 version for a while. Swiss ETA movement, sapphire crystal, coin edge bezel, same Gawdawful yellow colour box. It's taken a lot of bashing and still chugs along quite nicely.

Nice one, Al - and Eddie!

But Al, don't you think it would have been nicer (more harmonious) if it had said just "SWISS MADE" instead of the short word "SWISS" and then the longer word "MOVEMENT"?

You're right Bo, but I don't think they can do that. The movements are Swiss ETA, but I think the watches are assembled elsewhere with parts from who knows where.
