There are a lot of channels now .

That is perfectly understandable, enjoy it my friend. Thank you for sharing that, very much appreciated. Best regards, TGV

Alex Smith I am with you! I am wearing the pro diver because I'm young and it resembles a submariner!!!

Enjoy your watch Alex. Myself, if that's the money I had to spend I would probably buy a parnis. For the same price as an entry level invicta sub homage you'd gain 28,800 vph sweep, an *alleged* sapphire crystal and a ceramic bezel. Invicta may have legendary poor customer service, although I don't know if their QC is as bad as you'd get with a parnis. But for me the ceramic bezel and smooth sweep would be worth the chance.

I am in the same positon as you, and when you get to buy a Submariner, people will be "tricked" by the invicta. When you wear the sub, people will think it's still the invicta. You don't have to be afraid of the reactions or way people will look at you. This is something I am afraid of when I get to be in that position, the skx doesn't resemble a two tone sub sadly. The skx however is one of my best purchases. I play with the price a little, for every $/£/€ I spent, it is one day of wearing the watch... do that with a sub, and you'll be going for 20 years and more... still figuring out how that will work...

Alex Smith its better not to start with a rolex

H. I. McDunnough same here I live in Mexico so my income is crap so I can't afford the majority of watches

H. I. McDunnough Can’t agree more with you gentleman

dragomxsoldier , I know what you mean. Seriously. But, you/I can find a good quality watch that will last for little money. So, we keep learning and dreaming. All the best. ☆Jonathane

U right McDunnough

A very sensible and honourable view, my friend.

It's Hugo you have to watch out for.

You just nailed my problem with them.

I agree to this point. No further comments needed.

cheezy??? I totally disagree... Great quality watches and you have to be into different designs to be apart of the Invicta family. I currently own 12 and I couldn't be more happy with my investments.

All I can say is if people need to quit having unrealistic expectations on a watch brand that sells at a price point that is much better than the others and it doesn't matter if they use sticker shock techniques in sales because you guys are just whining to be whining about their sales tactics when this is a similar tactic and sales it's been done for years and years and not just with the watch game, but with reduced msrps of vehicle sales through the manufacturer rebates and various other ways of doing similar things with in different ecosystems. They actually have quite an effective business model and people need to remember that we are victims of what is being born into a society that Foster's fellure in much too many ways as well as giving us the ability to be of a pessimistic nature more than having an Outlook or approach of extracting the positive aspects first before we do the negative. More then what they have to or what they've agreed to do by way of contracting business in different countries and abiding by their laws rules and regulations pertaining to operating as a business with in that particular country and offering warranty and doing so in a way that meets those guidelines while providing a quality product that may not be premium shelf, but it gets the job done and it's recognizable and it does so in a respectable manner. Just don't be fucking stupid and buy your watches at a less reputable place. Be smart and buy it at a Sam's Club or whatever it has an awesome return policy as well as understanding that there are such things as warranties and you can get that taken care of worst case scenario. Do not expect and just go back and buy another one because they're cost-effective options that many people have had for at least 10 years and counting. They have a wide variety of options at a price point is very clever and indeed creates a name for themselves as a lot of people end up with Invicta being a Segway to there continued involvement in the watch game. It's a brilliant business model that has a watch history and that gives pops of quality by way of such simple things as adding color to the internal counterweight or the signature as well as the date designation for the birth of Invicta in 1835 and so on and so on. They make sure that it's a part of what is known to enhance that experience and create that ecosystem or culture around their brand that some watches aren't doing so don't hate on Invicta for being of what worse. There to the watch industry like T-Mobile was and still is to the mobile phone industry as well as being able to compare them to Kia and Hyundai. Why would I compare them to Kia and Hyundai? Easy! Kia and Hyundai dealerships work more off of volume and the bonuses that they received for the manufacturer of the acid or residuals or money's coming from selling third party shit to you when you're in the office at the end of your car buying experience signing all the paperwork. It is what it is and Hyundai and Kia by Deep, will give you much much more money to make sure the deal gets done when it comes to your trade and they will often times come off of the MSRP quite a bit on the vehicle being purchased as their whole game as volume and getting their vehicles on the road to enhance brand recognition and being able to turn instead of having Ace tell ecosystem because that brings continued business even if it's not a hellacious profit every time. They're different business models and some companies make a little by turning out a lot which makes him a lot over time and then other companies make all their money right up front. the light bulb that breaks the quickest cost the least and the one such as an LED bulb is the one that lasts longest and cost the most. Invicta creates watches that are bold and of a respectable build but there is a realistic understanding or acceptance of them giving you that value upfront for that lower price point that is a trade-off so don't expect to get big first class reclining seats, free alcohol, free meals, free movies and in-flight entertainment and lounges at the airport when you paid $49 for domestic nonstop flight on Spirit Airlines. Let's start being more realistic people. Sent mean that there are bad company? Hell no! Spirit Airlines, for example, gives a lot of people that would not otherwise be able to afford air travel or that have never experienced or travel because of how much it cost the ability to experience it because they, in a lot of ways, are cheaper than even a bus ticket sometimes so let's be more positive instead of so damn negative First and understand that there a lot of positive aspects and quit faulting them for an unrealistic expectation and for something that many many other companies do and have been doing for a long time. They know how to be a peeling in to create the sense of value and a good deal which is basically what a Kohl's does or any other store or manufacturer that's always got a damn sale or a bunch of clearance items. Things are marked up than the take 30 to 50 damn percent off of it. At least they're giving you something that has notable and respectable components that are of quality enough to greatly justify the price because there are plenty of crap Armitron watches at Walmart that you can get from 50 to $100 that can't even compare to an Invicta and yet they've been in business for a long time and people will buy those and yes the $80 Invicta watch or an Invicta watch similar to the price point of the low-to-mid tier watches is worth complaining about because they said that it was so much more expensive and yet it's really not when it comes down to it because they're taking something like 50 to 70% off of the price!? sounds like people need to take more responsibility for their dumbass Dennis and lack of knowledge and quit complaining about something that was totally their stupidity for thinking that they were getting a good deal because they're always make it seem like those watches are oh so expensive and they're on sale, but they're always on sale and at these lower price points so get a clue and quit living under a rock people and come out and actually pay attention sometimes instead of being stuck in your fucking electronic devices

But, is anybody really "suckered"? If someone buys an Invicta 8926 for $80, they still have an incredible value watch, even if the MSRP is fanciful.

LOL, excellent comment! Thank you my friend, hope you are well. Lets catch up soon, Best regards, TGV

lol that happened to lee. Kids in his class were making fun him for wearing his ingersol.

oh yeah we will, sometime in the next few weeks.

Akuma Studies yeah but they used to go to war with IWC's

Fact, I'm wearing my Timex as I type this from Afghanistan.

Thank you Trevor, I find that massively inspirational and I am deeply honoured. Best regards, TGV

Love them

LOL ;-) Thank you, Best regards, TGV

I lost patience 12 minutes into the vid, when I realized I couldn't remember one thing this yutz had said.

You can't really come to a channel about watches and have attention span of a goldfish. Quick is a relative term.

He meant the wrist watch check... Not the whole video.

It is said the latest Invicta diver is a homage to Rolex submariner. I say this. Buy it. Take it through its paces. Go swimming and scuba diving with it. If it does its job and you like the looks, enjoy it. My guilty pleasure is going to be a Neymar automatic rated at 1000m with japan movement. Though Neymar is said to also selll variants with Swiss movement. That one may cost you about as much as Hamilton khaki king price wise.

That’s really special, congrats!

Sergio Delgado I think you own an invicta

@@adamprutsok128 what?

You just wish,pervert

same i also like fossil i like simple watches but for the same price i got a invicta pro diver beautiful watch beside the invicta logo everywhere i want to see if someone can machine the side of the case and engrave my own logo

My first was a fossil but It led me to the world of watch’s

Same here.

not me

Lots of English people have always said stuff like that!

Tired of everybody grabbing your wrist and drooling all over it are you?

You laugh, but I've seen countless posts on watch forums saying that Invicta's almost always get the most compliments. They're shiny, loud, big, and bold. They get the attention of others and appear to look fancy to someone that doesn't know better. I'm sure you could wear a Speedmaster for a week and not have a single person notice, while I'm almost certain someone will mention an Invicta. So people really do love to look at them, but not a major watch enthusiast.

You'll be getting attention from the wrong crowd lol. It's all based on perspective.. and as you said.. "appear to look fancy" you can do the same by buying a fake watch and have the same result wouldn't you say?

Oozywolf - well said & I totally agree

Ive worn a 500 dollar bulova and only a few people noticed. The 50 dollar invicta people looked amazed.

Thank you so much, very kind of you to say :D Best regards, TGV

Thank you Simon, Congrats on the Alpinist!!! You will love it I am sure. Best regards, TGV

The Urban Gentry Any word on the Seiko Stargate review?

Check out the 8926OB of invicta's watches. Guaranteed satisfaction if you ask me. I've had mine for nearly 6 months now and it never disappoints. Especially if you replace the glass with sapphire, oh my... Also one of the best watches to modify if you ask me.

I own one myself for about a year now and I agree. Excelent quality for the money paid. Seiko movement, nice finishing, keeps time very accurate and about two days power reserve. I own it with black bezel and black dial.

I've had mine for 3 years and it's one of my favorite daily wear watches. Gotten compliments on it, went scuba diving in Mexico with it, wear it to work, working on the boat, etc.. Great watch. I'm thinking to buy another one since i found the forums where guys are modding them and changing the dials and hands and smoothing the cases to remove the INVICTA logo. You can't go wrong with the NH35A movement.

Quite agree, I love my Pro Divers 8927OB and 8928OB watches they are great value for money at a low price with a really good Seiko movement.

keith patterson no collection is complete without the cornerstone 007

Please remove me from your list.

How can I be removed from this annoying advertising?

My first watch was a Movado Meza silver dial back in 2007. It was the only watch I owned for 7 years. Of course, by 2014 the 36MM dial was way out-dated. But, it's a beautiful piece, and my mother now loves it :-)

Because they sell on TJ Maxx, Ross and Marshall's for $199...

👏

You're not much on punctuation, are you?

Maximilian Cooper same here. I have 3 Pro Divers, the classic blue face two tone. A blue face with a silver band that I took off, replaced with a NATO strap. And a blue face with the blue and red bevel, again, NATO strap. Though I’m pretty much set with a brown leather band with white stitching on that one. And I have an Invicta Reserve, blue face (spot the pattern?) rose gold and steel, with a brown leather band. Thing is massive, but I love it.

Same here. I had 9, sold 2 thus currently have 7. Mostly various diver watches with 1 Lupah...love Invicta.

I feel sorry for you

Thank you Tim, so glad you like the jacket. Would love to hear what you make of the Marathon. Best regards, TGV

Haha thank you my friend Poulo is a LEGEND!!!! Best regards, TGV

Too funny. Sometimes I think 16th century horologists invented snobbery. My 2 favorite examples are (A) when beginners compare a Pro Diver to a Rolex Submariner, and (B) when a non-WIS asks : "Why should I spend $6,000 on a Rolex when I can buy an Invicta for $75? I then sit back and watch the fur start to fly. I own vintage Hamiltons and Gruens out the wazoo. I own "several well-known Swiss brand-name" watches. What watch would I wear if I were marooned on a deserted island? A Citizen EcoDrive quartz watch. Either my radio-controlled model, or a regular quartz chronograph that's so accurate,it gains a mere 2 seconds every 3 months. Insane!

LOLOL truthhh but i can't just bring myself to buy those invicta watches they try to damn hard to be like a Sub. It's too tacky and goofy for me. It's like they're taunting guys like us like hey pal u can't buy a Rolex but you can get this shit that is SORTA like a Rolex! Honestly Seiko is my favorite brand and probably the best i can do is get my hands on a Seiko Prospex lol fucc the Rolex unless i become Tony Soprano 😂😂😂

The Marathon Navigator watch is a good all around watch. It is designed for aviation use so avoid water immersion ;-) -- Chris windycitywatchcollector.com/shop/wristwatch/marathon-watches/marathon-navigator-wristwatch/

Thank you Mike, duly noted on the prices and congrats on the Combat Sub, CLASSIC!!! :D Best regards, TGV

So glad you do, Thank you my friend :D Best regards, TGV

Love my pilot's version with the e6b bezel. I actually use the bezel alot. Fantastic piece of kit. My daily driver for the last 5 years.

Got myself one too for Christmas. Quite happy with it.

Haha, indeed. Thank Joao, always appreciated. Best regards, TGV

Ps. I hope you are well my friend.

Thank you Ricardo! Best regards, TGV

Rolex is way passed that price range you described.

@@levedia I was thinking that but he may have an old, bad condition one or chose to pay over a time period for it to spread the cost.
