Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

That Omega Speedy is my 2nd choice.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

What's the movement on the Omega? Is that an acrylic lense?

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Omega c.861. Same one they've used for 30+ years after they switched from the c.321--though I don't think there's much difference between the two. And yeah, acrylic.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Oh, that's a new or currently made model? Pretty cool!

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Yeah. They haven't changed much, but this is new.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I lied to myself and convinced me that I was good. Got a heck of a discount on it. I shop around big time before buying and I got $189 off the normal retail market price not MSRP.

My favorite new watch. Only one I am currently wearing now. I just love the look of it.

Can someone give me their opinion on Swiss Legend? Saw one on sale, same price as an Invicta on sale. Debating on which one I want when I lose my initial 20 lbs as a reward.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I have both, the Swiss Legend has a more supple polyurethane strap...if the one you're looking for has a poly strap. Between the two, I bought on Swiss Legend and in most cases will not go back to them. That being said, for me, I like the heft and weight of Invicta, the Swill Legend are no where near as solid or heavy. So, it will depend on what YOU'RE looking for in your watch.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

When you lose a watch where do you usually find it? :gary

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

The last place I saw it.

But this is 20 pounds I am losing. Not planning on losing this watch.

Wade, I am looking for something....substantial. Good size and heft to it.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Jason, if you have a Sams club or Costco near you, you can look at one there. Invicta has twice the heft that Swiss Legend has. Don't get me wrong, I like a lot of the SL designs, but they just dont compare to the Invicta for feel. I think JC Penny carries Invicta too.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Last place I saw it was on my wrist.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I will definitely take a look at Sam's and at JCP, Wade. Thanks.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Wade, if you're still on that Invicta kick, Shop NBC is having their Invicta hour right now.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Sweet...see ya later!

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Did you find anything? I REALLY like that Leviathan.

I couldn't watch it all...one of my boys felt sick, had to take care of him.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Got clearance from my wife...

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Cant say I am a collector but I have a few watches. A Seiko pre-kinetic years watch, Guess water sport pro stainless, and an Invicta chronograph. These range from 16 yrs old down to 2 and all keep great time.
