Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

^ my friend has that invicta.. its very nice looking online, but rather cheap in person.. and as a person with 15+ invictas, that says alot.. lol.. just sayin

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

dude, that watch is SEX

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Thanks Ron. I have an invicta that my wife bought that I love and does not feel cheap so thanks for the pointer :tu Although I am looking for a cheaper watch to have for work.

Tachymeter
12 hours chronograph with 1/20 second increments

It was available on ebay.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I like to do it the other way around; buy watch with a bracelet and then buy a strap.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Well thats my point. I have many invictas and are all solid as a rock! This one however is delicate and chincy. I wouldnt use it for any work, just sayin. It WILL break

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I agree. My girlfriend's Invicta is heavy and well finished. Surface for surface, it is polished and brushed on par as any big name watch you can mention (at least on her watch); Brietling, Omega, Rolex... It's certainly not one of those watches, but the outside is pretty darn close.

Someone in the watch industry said (for Stainless Steel), that the case, dial and bracelet is about 10% the watch's value. With Invicta, they put in a cheap movement and keep the outside pretty nice.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Do they use the same movement in all their watches or do they have better and worse moevements available? The reason I ask is because they have so many different watches with prices that vary a ton.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I love my Seiko's and Citizen's. I think dollar for dollar, you cannot get a better watch.

Nice watch by the way...

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

i agree. However the aformentioned watch is not one of those. I rarely come across an invict that is light in weight and Doesnt have a sturdy feel to it. But this is one of them. And it looks like its going to fall apart. And weighs about 2 ounces lol

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Here is the watch I just picked up. It has an auto dive mode that turns on when I get below 1 meter. It records the depth, temp and dive time. Picked it up used

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

That is a cool feature Chappy!

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?

Hamilton does make some nice watches and they aren't expensive either. They tend to be discounted heavily. Another Swatch Group brand.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Only thing I dislike is that the case is only 37mm

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I saw that but I have girl wrists so it would prolly look normal

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

They make a different model that is 41.5mm but it runs $125 on amazon

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

What size do you think is best for a case? Around 40-42?
Do they count the crown when they talk about that measurement?

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Depends. If you look on Amazon, if its sold by amazon alot of the waches they show a face next to ruler. They also show some of them on a fake wrist for size comparison. Yeh I like 40-42mm range. It's manly but not huge.

I want this

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

That is gorgeous

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

38-42 is the most classic size for chrono or military. Any larger and it becomes more trendy in styling. The crown is not measured in case diameter.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Good info!

Oh. My. God...

This thing is incredible. Gears upon gears upon gears upon gears.

Check out the Harry Winston Opus Watch videos in the suggestions box, too. Truly amazing.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

No kidding on amazing. Can only imagine how much that one cost. Talk about making special tooling!

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

42mm is a good size for smaller wrists, not too small, but not overwhelming :tu

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Found my pics of previous watches.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I like them all Mike!

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Nice looking watch Justin, not a big fan of the metal insert on the band though.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Yeh. I'll see. I can always replace the band though. I think they make the same watch with a metal bracelet instead

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Found my old watch I used to wear:

Here is a bad pic of the new Redline that just came in:
http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8281/7...a2266603_n.jpg
Happy with the size and quality so far, and it has kept perfect time for several days.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I had a fossil once, the band came apart but i wore the heck out of it to work and the like.

The redline looks pretty nice

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

FYI: The Redline says water resistant up to 330 feet!

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Sweet. Yeh I just ordered an Android Divemaster Predator quartz

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Nice, looking forward to the pics.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I cancelled the order on the Android. We're going to Ft Lauderdale this weekend so I might need that $ :r
If I have spare $ when we get home I'll order another

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I snagged a couple super cheap chinese watches just to check out.
Reviews say the Soki is not good and doesn't even have an o-ring or seal.
The Darch is a small face but better made than the Soki.
If the Darch isn't too small for my wrist I may buy a few different colors.

I love the look of this watch :xxx but I don't have big enough arms/wrists to pull it off. :sad

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Shane, I like the look of those chinese watches. Where are you finding them?

Second, I have never been able to get into the Invicta watches. They all just look to huge....

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

They are all over ebay, I will post pics and info when they arrive!

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I love the look of the blue face Invicta. Unfortunately I have wrists that rival a single spaghetti noodle in size.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

You just like that one cause of the case :D

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

a decent looking one to! from the cases I deal with it looks fairly sturdy

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Its supposed to be water proof and it holds 3 watches.


Shane I like this one better than the one you posted and it comes with an 8-slot case vs 3-slot like the one u posted
