OK, don't SCREAM....

As this might not be the appropriate forum. Just a quick question. Ready to buy a Datejust within days -- Yeah!! -- But just saw this 100 buck Invicta, looks like a copy of the TT Blue Sub. Anyone know the correct model number? Is it 8928OB? Wanna snag it just for the hell of it. Watch frenzy moment I guess....Thanks in advance. Chuck

I don't know what it is, but it appears that like 10 of us have seen the 16613 copy Invicta and almost mistook it for a real sub...

I think Gaby has one, so he might know where to obtain one.

Might be the model 9938 runs around $300 or so. I had bad luck with the one I had. Sent it in for service 3 times and they never got it right. Also takes about 2 months each time they service it at Invicta. I have the 9937 also and it had problems. Had to send it in and seems to work ok now but service time sucks. LOL.

They're all over the 'bay and jomashop.......If you want to REALLY look like the Sub the coin-edge bezel its the Mako 8928C..the Scalloped edge is the 8928

Invicta 9938 photos

Attached are photos of the 9938C I referenced earlier - photos are from the e-bay listing where I found mine.

From a distance the Invicta's looks better then my 16613, because they have the deep cobalt blue. My "Z" serial has the paler blue, I had the 9938 a few years ago but it died on me

I paid around $300 for this 9937 if I remember correctly. Swiss movement, sapphire crystal, pretty good build quality. Not nearly as new looking now though, its been bashed around a bit.

Some of their watches use ETA 2824 movements. They get close, but are their own brand that display "Invicta". I have recommended Invicta to people who don't want to pay over a $100 for a watch, and ask me for a watch recommendation. One thing I did notice is on a watch I bought for someone, is the stem threads are too fine and can be stripped, and the stem fitment is such that it can be easily cocked when threading.

I see some comments on the watch not lasting. For less than the cost of a service you can throw it away and buy a couple new ones.

Make sure its the Swiss Movement and not their Japan movement line. The Swiss holds up a lot better. Usally its those with the jpn mvt. that run around 100, I believe its a little more than double for the Swiss Movements

I will tell you this.... I have both an Invicta "sub" and a Rolex Datejust.... BELIEVE ME, you will be much more satisfied with the Rolex. Its been over two months since I bought the Invicta and its seen my wrist about 7 times, and thats just because as tattooedGQ calles it acting girley and color coordinating with my blue shoes and cap.


just my 2 pennies
