My new Invicta 8926

[MiguelCadiz]

Been strolling to some watch forums and came across this beauty. In the mean time I'm modding a noob case to fit a 14060 dial and crystal I found a special offer at ebay and couldn't resist buying it.

It arrived yesterday and I wanted to introduce it to you: My new invicta 8926

I haven't been able to make some more photos but I have to tell you that it carries a Miyota 8215. The main flaw of this movement's that it hasn't a hack feature.

What do you think about the watch? I think it's a stunner and once on the wrist it feels heavy and has a presence.

Invicta makes some impressive watches for the price. Their Submariner homages are changing as well and are a good deal for the price. I especially like their variations of the Submariner homages, such as the "chocolate" brown bezel with a black mother-of-pearl dial. I try to stay away from their non-Swiss made watches, but even those are OK. My biggest criticism of Invicta is their Quality Control and their Customer Service Department. I own several Invicta watches, to include one limited edition COSC certified Chronograph. To be honest, they get as much wear as my reps and gens. Strangely, my best performing watch to date is not one of my Rolex or Omega gens, nor an Invicta, but my Rolex Yachtmaster rep (three years and running COSC accurate so far - I acquired it for only $220).

I like Invicta a lot (my wife loves them). If they fixed up their QC and CS as well as stayed away from those ugly diamond encrusted offerings, they would be dearer to my heart. Around this board, Invicta is given less respect than replicas (LOL). I'm not sure why that is. Saying "I like Invictas" is like saying "I'm a Trekkie".
