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

http://www.shopnbc.com/Invicta_Men_s...-ProductPage_1

I love the case, but I despise that shinny metal on the face. Wish it was black or flat silver.

i have that invicta 3 watch case, and i use it on my boat for cell phones, etc.. it is stronger than my traveldor

Infact, ive taken that case (with 5 iPhones in it) and threw it in the ocean at 30mph, held up fine, not a drop of water :)

Nice, I was considering it but held off. Post some pics when it arrives please.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 
Thanks to the USPS it didn't arrive until today. I'll post pics in a little over a week (give or take). It is pretty small. I don't have that large of wrists or hands, so it doesn't look bad. It'd look better if I lost some weight.

My wife thinks the watch looks about the right size.

It's comfy, that's for sure. I generally don't like wearing watches.

Shop NBC has some really good deals if you watch. I want to buy so bad but I am on a freeze until Christmas when Santa might bring me a new one.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 
:r they were running an invicta special for the week. most watches are 5 interest free payments. It's going on for another 22 minutes actually.

emopunker2004 07-20-2012 11:56 PM

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 
Well i cancelled that invicta a got a case instead. Good news, until Sun 1159pm almost everything on their site is 6 flex pays....just saying

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 
Back home form South FL. Picked up my package containing my Invicta Grand Diver. Looks really nice. Pretty hefty watch. I'll take some pictures later today or tomorrow when I break out the light box.

This is my first automatic and I'm loving the exhibition case back.

Blak Smyth 07-24-2012 01:30 PM

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 
Nice, look forward to the pics Justin. I received my cheapy Darch yesterday. It is super cheap and small but it works for a work watch. I think the date is screwed up, it was off a day half way through the day and I can't change it now. It also has chinese characters mixed in with the days of the week, wierd.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 
I'm sure there's a way to make the date right bro, but I bet directions are in chinese? :r

On a side note, this Grand Diver is water resistant up to 300m/1000ft :ft
not like I dive, maybe one day I will though.

Thanks. I think they did turn out great. I think the B&W makes it look kinda classy. I love B&W photos in general.

My latest obsession. I will own one some day! Only preventing reason is that its a 1-man show... and he does very limited runs. All hand made. Love the look of them.

Brand is Kaventsmann

Bronzo

So far so good. It is a heavy watch though. ShopNBC has some good prices on some of these. I think that one was $104+tax and shipping and they have it with flexpays

Looking to buy my girlfriend an watch for her 40th in Nov, here are a couple of my picks for her. What do you think? I was kind of thinking it should be a watch that she may let me borrow. She like bigger watches, but something under 40mm would be best. Also considering a Rado, there are a few I thought would work for her.

1. Tonneau Retrograde Seconds - I like the look and I think she'll appreciate the jumping second hand.
http://static.bernardwatch.com/image/PIC126.JPG

2. Chopard : Mille Miglia Chronograph - Women love Chopard and it's a classy looking watch

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 
I really like the Chopard, but the second hand on the first one is pretty unique.

I wonder how reliable it is? I don't want to have bring to Switzerland every other year for an adjustment. I showed her both watches and she like the Chopard more. They are both used, and could possibly sell before I am ready to buy (also considering non-watch jewelry), but there are plenty Chopards around if this one gets away. Not that many have a bracelet which is real nice.

Just ordered one of these this morning; Steinhart Nav B-Chrono 47mm on brown leather strap with polished Pre-V as were as a second black leather strap with polished Pre-V. Now the waiting begins.... I have a feeling this will feel similar to when I ordered my Aristocrat from Bob.

GORGEOUS STEINHART!!!! I have been eyeballing these hard lately. Pretty damned good value for what you get.

mithrilG60 08-15-2012 07:39 PM

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 
Ya, I'm pretty chuffed with it. With the weak euro it's definitely good value. Watch plus the extra band shipped for less than the cost of 2 boxes of 1966's :D
