AP for Invicta!!

On way into work this morning, a kind fellow caught a glimpse of my just recently acquired Diver. He comments, "nice Invicta!" To which I quickly reply, "thanks! $50 on QVC!!"

You can't imagine how happy he was to hear this...

Gotta love it!!

My only compliment was several months ago when a guy saw my Hulk and said "nice Invicta." I said thanks. What else can you do?

I would love to see him go crazy on the invicta site trying to find this exact watch for $50 bucks. Priceless. 😭😭. Although I must say I started out with an invicta almost 17 years ago. They are a good value.

Even at $50 I think we both know that they're not a good value!

I know! And I agree with you, in fact I was thinking that if his journey down Invicta lane leads to the making of a new WIS, then I did my good deed for the day!!

Lol, admire the patience of you guys to not bother correcting them. I'm still at the point where if someone engages me about watches, I start into a rambling history lesson.

I read a lot about Invicta on here but I don't think I've ever seen one.

congratulations on your wit. as others have said, i would have dived into a rebuttal/monologue for sure. i still haven't learnt that no one else cares as much as i do. i need to join a wis group locally so as to get it out of my system.

It's funny when I had SS watches if someone was to say that was fake I probably would have been offended but now I have a few gold pieces if someone was to ask if it was fake I would say damn right, it's gold plated, so don't follow me home!

This reminds me of a lunch with some old colleges, I was wearing a Rubberclad ROO instead of my normal sub. One of them asked why I wasn't wearing my "posh watch" today? I wasn't as quick with my reply as Joe and just smiled to my self.
