That's a very cool piece!
Yes they do have control of other brands such as TechnoMarine, S. Coifman, and Glycine. They also have the license to manufacture Disney and Marvel comic characters. Invicta has been around since 1837, so they've been in the watch game longer than Rolex, lol.

But my point wasn't so much to compare Rolex to Invicta watch to watch, that truly CANNOT be done. Because of Invicta's completely different approach to the watch business I was wondering how they compared financially at the end of the day.

But the current company isn't the same as the original, clearly!!!

Definitely not, the new owner took it in a very different direction. But got to admit he did it pretty successfully, like the watches or not.
