Not seen any of the Invicta stuff in the flesh, there are a lot of very nice watches out there in the thread budget, H.Samuel have some really good offers, I saw a very nice Bulova well within budget and as already pointed out the Acurist too!!!!
Bulova are decent watches. I have three and am very happy with all of them. One is an automatic and the other 2 are precisionists. The sweep of the second hand on a non-chrono precisionist is uncanny in its smoothness. My favourite Bulova (outside the budget for this thread) is the Lunar Pilot.

I have just received a 37mm Invicta Pro Diver Sub Homage and I am very impressed. Having worn Seiko's for a few years, I thought I would order one as could stomach buying a genuine sub.

Pictures please!!
Couple of quick pics, I do have very very thin wrists but the Invicta fits really well, without much adjustment needed on the bracelet
Next to my seiko 5 that is now my work watch
Edit to add, the watch was £80 delivered

That marine star is fantastic, how the hell did you get that so cheap?!?!? The Casio on the other hand is, um, different, what exactly does it do???
Just lucky I guess with the Bulova, right place, right time, nobody else wanted it. My FiL picked up another Bulova for £25 too.The Casio doesn't do anything I need, but its so stupid, I wanted it

Invicta seem to have two lines:- Ridiculously oversized watches that are... an acquired taste that I haven't yet acquired
- Blatant sub copies

I just went through 15 pages and did not find a single post for krug baumen, the petrol station forecourt special. I'm disappointed
Well if you have one please feel free to post a picture, we don't ridicule people for ANY watch they own, as the tile says it's the under £200 watch thread, I personally would love to see some Micky Mouse watches and maybe some old school Casio's, the ones with a calculator!!

The back of that is lovely isn't it??
I quite like the front too but it seems it scratches awfully easy!
that's a shame, one of the reasons I turned down Mrs Bobbers buying me an expensive watch, I'm not precious about my watches, they are there to be worn, but a £2500 watch getting scratched would have me sobbing like a slapped kid!!! Gassing Station | Watches | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
