Invicta Men's Pro Diver 40mm Steel & Gold Tone SS Automatic Watch Expired

Invicta is like the Axe spray of watches yeah it's good and gets the job done, some people may like it at a glance but it's going to be a watch you grow/phase out of quickly and there's no resale value.
Vaer D5 autos are where i landed. I wear them more then my Rolex

These are craps, go for something you can enjoy. Spend couple of hundred more and get a good watches. Say iconic seiko skx009j or seiko sport 5 srpe53 or hamilton khaki field or if u wanna save more orient meastro. Go for automatic not quartz its like Samsung phone vs apple resale values retains.

First, when did I dismiss any of your criticism? You replied to my post, not the other way around. I gave my personal insight and you are the one dismissing my opinions.

So exactly how much is a Casio quartz? I suspect it's about this price if not a little more. So if every dollar count, why are you dismissing spending about the same amount as your casio and never have to worry about getting a battery replacement or doing it them self?

I have no problem with sd post offering alternative. But honestly, sometimes the alternative is a little too apples and oranges and it leads to unnecessary lengthy discussions such as this. This is a post about an automatic watch. Most people coming into this post knows that and are interested in getting an automatic watch. If they were looking into a quartz watch they probably wouldn't be in this thread.

No it doesnt! I own two of these watches for 6 years, wear them daily and they both look brand new. The color has not rubbed off one bit. Quit spreading this nonsense.....lol.

Since you obviously feel the need to address everyones comment I expect you will mine as well. I know they way my Invictas have aged and nothing you can say will sway that fact.

I'm responding and pointing out issues that you seem to be trying to *dismissing* as non-issues. Conversely my response to you is in no way dismissing of the support you've provided for this, but since you aren't paying attention, here it is YET AGAIN. This *is* a solid watch from a price-for-quality perspective - the Seiko movement, the case, the waterproofing, and the aesthetics are all great for a $50 watch. It is NOT necessarily the best for the price though, and I've presented the case for that. My stance isn't dismissive; yours is.



Batteries are crazy cheap, and as is case back tool (if you even really want to buy one) that will outlast several generations of people. The cost to replace batteries vs the cost to service a auto movement isn't even close.




This isn't even close to true of the SD crowd. Most people are NOT watch enthusiasts. Most people do NOT want to have to worry about keeping an auto wound and / or set it after not using for a few days. Heck I wouldn't be surprised if half the people saw this, saw the thumbs, and snap order and then are baffled when they receive a watch that doesn't have a battery in it. This discussion absolutely is helping people figure out what this product is, and what the alternatives are. Again, your tone is "we don't need to have this discussion" but it's predicated on faulty assumptions, and so I'll repeat - there's no good reason to try and dismiss what I'm saying.







Oh so you experience invalidates that of those of thousands of people who've left reviews and experiences all over the internet from forums to the reviews of these watches? Got it. I'll bet your DeLorean is in mint condition too.


I'm glad you like your Invictas. I like mine too... the ones that don't have the gold coloring that is.

Lol, the NH35A is a Seiko movement so how can it be better than what's in a Seiko watch.

And anyone that laughs at someone for something they wear like clothes or a watch deserves no respect.

Buy what you like, wear what you like, because it's your money and your life. Let the haters hate.

You're sounding like a know-it-all idiot. I'm sure you will feel the need again to retort as you continuously do. You are not worth my wasting any additional time with.

I do see you mentioned you're planning to compare it to your boss's watch, which sounds to me like you'll be wearing it at work. If you're in a profession where you type a lot, or even if you rest your hands on a desk and kinda slide your hands around, I would recommend saving it for non-work wear. Anything that rubs against it with even light pressure is going to abrade it, and will take it off rather quickly -- this is true of any gold toned jewelry, not just these watches. I'm not giving out new information here, this is a general truth of this type of jewelry. If you're kind to your watch and don't to much to abrade it, and keep it clean from substances that will speed abrading, then sure you might minimize the wear for a good period of time like some of the commenters. Do be prepared for the chance that your wear patterns may make you less fortunate than those screaming that it'll last for year and years though.


Anyway, I hope you enjoy your new watch. As others have mentioned they do make a good modding watch base, and there are some pretty great looking mods out there.

Can someone comment on the quality difference , if any, with a similar Seiko or Citizen? Is the Eco the best way to go? Good choice? Any suggestions on another brand at the roughly $150-$200. level?

It is a lot crazier than that. Yeah, their cost on the movement might have been $20.

But with the current shortage of NH35s, the movement itself can sell for as much as this watch costs to the end user. Honestly it is insane, the sad part I see in all this is the fact that very respectable movement could have been used in a watch that gets more respect.

If the trend continues on, I'll likely kick myself in a few years for not picking up one of these just to have the movement that I could replace one of my many other watches that use the same one in, but look better.
