Invicta's New Adjustable Buckle Beats The Pants Off of Rolex
This is part of Invictas new 100% Swiss made line. The buckle features two pushers to expand the bracelet without having to remove the watch.

Great entry level watches. To compare them to Rolex in ANY way is, well

What an absurd reception to a completely valid opinion from someone who's been a member here for years and appears to actually own the watches to which he is making the comparison. Well played, guys.

It's a movie isn't it? Maybe w Russell Crowe or Keanu reeves
That invicta clasp looks miserable. I'll take my glidelock any day everyday And FYI the rolex DSSD glidelock is adjustable without removing the watch. So not sure what your point is

Prometheus has a similar setup on their clasps ... Very useful on those (few) occasions when I wear my Manta Ray.

More convenient when you need an extension? Sure. However, you can't honestly think it looks better though, right? I mean, if it were made to fit your sea dweller, can you actually see yourself switching to that clasp?

As much as we want to snob out and bash Invicta, they play a very large role in keeping people worldwide wearing wristwatches instead of abandoning them altogether.
When I walk past an Invicta company store, it is ALWAYS packed with buyers. |

Its not about the Brand its not about the build quality its not about what it cost its about the general design its not about wrecking your nose in the air snob status appeal, Its about how well it works and how convenient it is vs Rolex design. I hope this clarifies things.

Invictas are fun to take apart and rebuild when I'm bored.

I'm not sure you meant that as a stab in the back or were posting a real question. That is my bracelet from my blnr as I had just placed my Everest band on. The invicta was opened up to enjoy taking apart a mechanical movement. By the way to the original post, I'm glad more companies are coming out with adjustable clasps these days as I often fall in the in between sizes throughout the day during season changes. The invicta was found on a trip a few years back and I decided to open it up for a peak inside.
