I like how they make a lot of larger models, though they can get pretty weighty

X1. I was just thinking that. Invicta makes a few nice models but IMO for the most part they are huge and the material looks cheap. If they were to scale down to make a few models and upgrade the materials I think they would be much better.

I'm a lover of simplicity. That watch hurts my eyes! Way too much going on there....I'd forget to look at the time

Nope, they're cheap crap. They literally have 100,000 different models and their shop-at-home marketing channel segments almost make me want to puke.

I like their boxes and the watches make great doorstops.

I have a Noma III Sunray dial. It's a very hefty nice looking watch but I don't think I will ever actually pull off wearing it.

I think they make great watches for people who like the Rolex look but cannot yet afford a Rolex.
I always bought the best watch I could afford there was a time when I could only afford a Swiss Army watch when I could finally afford a Rolex I bought one.

Haha! DeRocco is in the house. Nice looking watch! I love my Invicta! It is the only watch by Invicta I like. The 8926C or as some people call it the 8926OB. It's a Submariner homage, with a oyster looking bracelet with PCL's. I recommend this Invicta to anyone. I respect everyone's thoughts on Invicta for ripping off other brands, To each has their own, and you have to leave it at that. I have my Invicta because it's prepping me for my dream watch (Rolex Submariner 16610) Here's a picture or two of my 8926.

One reason why I like my Invicta Diver beater is I can wear it while doing the yard, etc., and if it becomes unreliable (which it hasn't so far - thanks Miyota), I can just throw it in the trash bin and spend a few minutes on the 'net (probably Amazon) looking for another beater. When I go to Home Depot for more yard-cleaning supplies, the people there could care less what kind of watch I'm wearing. LOL.

Hi Everyone,
I used to have an Invicta 8926C. I wore it on a Bond NATO strap. Till next time... The Laird
