Not a loaner, but not bad for 66 bucks. I would get this over the timex. Hell its cheaper than a seiko monster.

If I saw someone in a $1,200.00 dollar suit, and in $600.00 shoes, and a nice plain timex on their wrist. I would raise an eyebrow, but it would probably make me smile.

Most US president wears a Timex when they are presidents.

I have seen Clinton wearing a Panerai a few times, but when he was president, he wore a timex.

My friend just bought one of those Timex watches. I think it would be a great watch when traveling into areas that may not be overly safe... I've been contemplating getting one as a beater.

I've seen the invictas. I'm not a fan of the magnifier as it doesn't actually magnify. Plus their build quality never looked that great to me.

Well, I am glad I didn't order before. Its 50 bucks now.
Its got to worth 50 bucks!

edit: on second thought, I probably won't wear it anyway, so guess I am not going to buy it afterall.

Where did you find the 50 dollar invicta? That is probably worth it...

I do not like the invicta 8926 since the maginifier is just to imitate the Sub. A guy wearing a Timex probably doesn't care about owning a Rolex and would not rationalize spending $1500 on a watch with any famous name.

How about clothes that look like thrift shop rejects and a real SS Daytona on the wrist?

That sounds like me. Old Navy T-shirt and tattered jeans and a Hillfiger pullover, wearing a $5,000 GMT master. Sometimes I get looks when I'm at the checkout counter.

Well in my book never judge any man by what clothes or watches he
wears, always judge the person inside the man,to me thats the most important.

Wise words, however, I doubt the checker at Home Depot really had time to get to know the inner me.
