Icon10 A bit of blue here and a bit of gold there...

Just got this in

I was a little unsure with having two subs initially but seeing it in the flesh totally rubbished that thought. If you think the black SS subc is classy wait till you hold this in your hands, its classy x 10 I love them both

btw I am on a mailing list for an online watch shop that sells common branded watches like casio, citizen etc. and Invicta is one of the brand it carries, guess what they sent in their mailing list today as their discounted watch of the day...Invicta Men's 200M WR Automatic Diver 8928OB for $69.99 Invicta really have no shame

BTW one more incoming and my watch box will be full (I was wearing one when the pic was taken)!

I have not taken it out for a test drive yet, only put it on for taking pics :D

There's a Rolex that seems to be cold! It's covering itself up with a little red blanket!
What happened?

That is the legendary red carpet treatment you hear about

Its a TT so I took extra precaution to minimise scratches, notice the TT blue sub has the same treatment but with a different coloured blanket LOL. Its temporary until the nanofibre cloth I ordered gets here so I can line up the slot with it.

Congrat to your new addition to a nice collection.

And you are right, Invicta has no shame!
