No diving, just love the watches.

Thanks Wade, you too. Been looking for that "just right" Pan for a while. Did see a 360 someone had and that would be it for me but chances of finding one are slim. :sh

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Hey Larry, I really like that watch. Do you happen to know what model it is?

Thanx
Jim

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Spoke with the owner of the company a couple of years ago at the annual Vegas show, sounds like all Invictas are Swiss made.

Been buying them for a long time now, they take abuse like no other watch I had.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Well gentlemen, here is a photo of my awesomely fake watch....

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

thats actyally really awesome. do you have a source?

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

This looks good! Can you recall the model? I want to buy one for my husband too.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Those are some of my favorite watches that aren't in my collection, yet

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Yes. It's the Seiko SNQ097.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I forgot this one. I wear this one only when I'm not drinking beer and smoking cigars. Certainly not for everybody, but the workmanship is superb, especially the leather strap. My only complaint is the writing on the 8 and 4. Down the right side of the 4 looks like it's missing paint. Actually, the word automatic is written top to bottom in such small letters I need a loupe to read it.

My best friends girl picked it up for me in China, $30 I think. You cannot find repros online for less than $100.

PO ftw...nice watch. Gonna concentrate on Tags now

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Got a new Renegade for my birthday.

I saw a Lucien Piccard rose gold at Heartland America for like 89 bucks. Not for me, but if someone else likes them....

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

anybody want any of these boutique watches ? most of them are good everyday watches.. the right two invictas have never been worn, the Black Kenneth Cole is beautiful and in decent shape, and the left invicta is pretty weathered. The Ecko on the left was given to me in 2004 and i wore it like twice. lol...

CRACKHEAD PRICES, especially if anybody wants multiples

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

PM sent on Invictas!

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Very nice looking watch.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I wouldn't call Invicta a "boutique" watch.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

it appears my definition of boutique watch was a little askew, but thanks fo pointing that out :sl

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

what's everyone's opinion on the quality of the replica watches? I've always wondered how good the detail and movements were. I actually don't wear a watch anymore and have my dad's old '60s Seamaster in a drawer so I'm not in the market for a replica. Just curious.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Some are quite convincing, espeically Rolex. Stick to stainless with little complications.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

The homage watches are very good quality. They use pretty much the same materials and even movements as the originals.

Finally got my grandfather's watch back from servicing.. Didn't have the original band with it so I'm currently on the lookout for an omega band that doesnt cost a week's pay and that actually fit's my wrist

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Very nice. I use to have a nearly identical Seamaster. Look for a regular band and get an Omega clasp or deployment clasp. You won't be able to tell the difference.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Already have the omega clasp that I got from the jeweler that did the service. They had an omega band that fit the watch but didn't fit my wrist so I just bought the clasp... I was thinking about doing a deployant clasp but I would want to go with an omega clasp at the very least and if I remember correctly they go for $300-400 by themselves

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I just got two Invictas from BigRon who was selling a few off. Just need to get batteries installed and we'll be good to go!

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

glad they arrived man,, enjoy!

BTW, nice Omega Steve!

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Awesome. That's a beauty man. I did the same when my grandfather passed, except the watch I got wasn't nearly what you have there. Probably cost me three times what the watch is actually worth to fservice it. :D Nonetheless, I love putting it on. Brings back some awful good memories.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

No way... You must be able to get an Omega stainless deployment clasp for under $125. There's not much to it. Where have you been looking?

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Most of the places are the ones that I know are actually selling authentic ones... If you happen to know of a place or find one in your travels let me know I'm definitely interested!

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Put an ad on timezone.com

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I was gonna ask someone here to stop my madness, but before I could post this...the wife took care of it. Five Invictas since 8/28/11, the Mrs. said no more. Damn, I knew I should've kept a separate account just for my fun stuff.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

This one should be on my doorstep tomorrow!

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Nice watch wade Guess you'll have to pick up a ladies Invicta as a band aid. I guess this angel Invicta should do the trick.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Try not to laugh but I have 2 Crotons my old chronomaster in need of a battery and a skeleton automatic which I find fascinating to watch run.

This is the Metawatch by Texas Instruments. It is still in Developer release, but man it is sweeeeeet.

It connects to my Droid (Note: only droids right now. No software for Blackberrys, iPhones, etc) via bluetooth. Along the bottom you can see: Missed calls, missed texts, and missed e-mails. It vibrates whenever I receive any of these 3 along with showing me who is making the phone call, or showing me the text message, or showing me which account received an e-mail.

Plus I get the weather! Best. Purchase. Ever. (I've been using it for a week now - wanted to make sure it really worked. I work in a factory so I can't hear my phone ring and usually don't feel it vibrate...but the vibration on my wrist is hard to miss)

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I love watches, or as some say, timepieces. Plan on getting my first Ulysse Nardin by the end of the year. Love what they have.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I had the silver dial version of this watch a while back, but I sold it. I regretted this decision ever since. RGM has assembled a few more so I jumped at the chance. These are really nice manual wind watches.
