Well, my father hinted that he's wanted a cheap/but big/ridiculous looking watch for fathers day.
So, we were browsing around on Amazon, and he was eyeing this watch, that he absolutely loves (the Invicta 3328) :

So, without telling him of course, I figured I'd surprise him and get him one for fathers day. I ended up buying the last one on Amazon for $131 including shipping. Not bad for a watch that retails for almost $500. But, then again on these Invictas, you can almost always find one on Amazon with a very hefty discount anyway.

So, what do you all think ?? I know it's no Rolex but I think he'll like it

Mike, looks good. Invicta watches are not bad, but the main thing here is: It is for your father and he will love it....good choice!

Thank you everyone !!
Yes, I've heard mixed reviews about Invictas (in fact, I even looked them up on Wikipedia, and they are rated as a D+ from the BBB, and they claim to receive over 100 complaint letters per week from customers.
Oh well, I'm sure it will be a great watch. I know my father will love it !!
I'll take a few pictures when it comes in. Delivery is expected from June 8-18, so it may arrive when we are in York lol My father is staying home due to work, so hopefully we won't open it :)
