That's a big un for sure!
That would look like a soup can lid on my wrist.

Dude... I found my previously owned (traded it in now) Seamaster Professional Chronograph too top heavy and uncomfortable to wear lane swimming. The thought of that above posted monstrosity on my wrist in open water makes me wonder how some could (or would) pull that off.

I've seen bigger on a guy's wrist. Definitely makes a statement.

The folks running Invicta should keep cranking this model out by the millions. From a distance, even a Rolex WIS might mistake it for a SS Daytona and the Invicta Speedway is probably the 99% reason why the brand is often confused with a Rolex.
At roughly $125.00 how can a buyer go wrong (if purchased at Costco)? Though it's got a quartz movement, how many non-watch aficionados are actually going to notice or differentiate between the two brands? This particular model is an Invicta 'cash-cow'. |

In the watch's defense 63mm includes the crown. It's probably really closer 60mm. Much more reasonable.

I think Invicta and Bamford should team up with each other.

Guys there is a huge proportion of the US population who are obese, and when I say obese it's really obese, 200-250 kilos, when I lived there it was crazy, I left 31 years ago, heard it got worse, so when you weigh 200-250 kilos, you are huge, so there is definitely a market for them, in Europe we have a very different definition of obese, it's people weighing 50-70 kilos more than they should, saw some fat people in Europe, but compared to the US it's a joke, thanks to MacDonalds and others for making the world a better place

Arnaud is right. I'm the weight of the average American woman, but in Korea people say I look like a nightclub bouncer

I ha got a watch made by Invicta and it's 63 mm. It's the biggest one but can't say same for the quality aspect. It's a conversation starter and attention magnet other than that it's just a cheap quartz watch

As a manly man's man who mans a manjob of manliness for a man living, this would look barely okay on my manwrist as I lift manweights composed of manonium.
In other words, it seems like a bizarre size which makes the wearer look like he is hiding behind his watch. |
