In my humble opinion: Invicta‘s homage watches are great for somebody, who loves the Rolex look, but simply doesnt want or cant afford the real deal. There is nothing to make up about it, its a homage/copy and done. I respect them for making young people able to try the looks and maybe when they can afford it, to buy the real thing.

Are the any bracelet style, black faced dive watches that don’t look like a Rolex Submariner? (If you look at similar Tag or Seiko or..? They all look the same 😂) Even if I could drop 5Large on a watch, I wouldn’t. That could get invested somewhere with fair returns…

i just bought the pro diver and was really impressed

Just to be clear, I don't wanna defend nor support Invicta, I just wanna put my opinions on the table: Invicta isn't doing things well as a brand and there's a lot of quality issues in many models indeed, but I own a Pro Diver and it's been an excellent watch for the price -no regrets at all-. I like a lot the Sub design, but I can't spend yet 6K (and I don't know if I ever will) on a pre-owned Rolex Sub from the 90s. So is it so terrible to wear an affordable watch with an expired design from other brand that I like and I cannot afford? I remember an interview with J. Claude Biver (a legend of the high level watch industry) where he was asked about what he thinks about "homages" and fashion watches. He answered something like this: the great manufacturers should be grateful with those watches, because those watches bring the people, at some point, closer to the high level brands and by being worn, they cause interest in getting pieces with more and more quality. It's easier to sell a watch to someone that already has worn one, than to someone who never did.

Yea this video was purposely made to shit on invicta when they’re affordable and look nice. Also there’s so many popular brands out there that rip off of other brand it’s nothing new

I own 3 Rolex's, 5 Omega's, and a host of other watches. I do own a few Invicta watches. If you are really into to time pieces the Invicta for all intents and purposes is a quality watch. It is very accurate and keeps time well; better than many high dollar timepieces. Besides, if your fashion game is tight, and your presentable, the brand of watch you wear is useless. It is the application of said watch to your outfit, and where you wear them. I used my first bonus to get my first Submariner and you know what? To this day, NO ONE, I mean NO ONE noticed or cared. In fact I have had more complements on my off brand watches than the expensive ones in my collection. So in essence, if you wear it well, no one will take notice. And when I do wear my Rolex's in public I usually am around others who have the same watch or better. Take away is this; wear what you like. We know Rolex is the holy grail for many of us collectors, however it is not as exclusive as it is once was...I mean everybody and their momma has them now.

I own a lot of watches but I never had an Invicta. I decided to buy a pro-diver about 6 months ago. The one with the higher-beat movement (I forget the exact name of the movement). For under $100 it has been an incredible watch! It looks great and does everything I need it to do. I wear it doing light construction almost every day and it’s held up perfectly. It runs about 3 seconds per day slow. So I usually reset it about every 20 days after it loses one minute. I take it off when I put on other watches to go out but have been finding myself just keeping it on almost 24 hours per day. The only thing wrong with this watch is that it look’s almost exactly like a Rolex Submariner..I’m not sure that’s a problem lol..I’m definitely going to get another pro-diver in a different color. I can’t afford to wear a Rolex everywhere but I can afford to wear a pro-diver. What else can I say? It’s a great watch. Whether or not “nobody takes Invicta seriously” lol.

And they keep great time for a long time. I've had my Invicta 0393 the longest at 11 years and it still looks great, still gets compliments on a regular and still works beautifully. I recently looked at every 43mm Speedway variant currently available, and it came down to two I liked so much I couldn't decide. So I bought them both, along with a separate $8 Invicta two watch box to keep them in. Total price for two drop dead beautiful Invicta Speedway variants side by side in a custom mint green two watch Invicta box, $155. Dude. Anyone on any budget can do that with Invicta's affordability. I'll probably do the exact same thing with the Pro Diver Scuba, loving that watch in a couple different variants too. My collecting passion is folding pocket knives, and some of the knives in my collection would definitely make someone else say, " you paid HOW much for that knife?" I'm that person when it comes to watches lol. I'd rather carry a premium folding pocket knife than wear a premium watch, to each their own. Really enjoyed your video, thank you!

The Rolex Sub is a great watch by itself. If we look at just the watch as a mechanical item, the Rolex Sub is pretty amazing in its construction. But the fact of the matter is, something else comes with buying an 8 000$ watch. You are not buying just 8000$ worth of watches, you are buying into a smaller group of people, a select group of people who own a Rolex. It's like people with motorcycle; they all wave to each other yet they don't wave to car drivers. Within that group of people with motorcycles, there's even a smaller group which is the guys with the Harley's. Having a Rolex means you're part of a special group of people, you're part of a club, you're the elite. 8000$ to spend on a watch not everyone can do that and right away you are a little more unique. That's what the people like: feeling unique. Feeling like you're not like the rest of the majority. That's the other thing you get when buying an 8000$ Rolex watch. This is also why it's so offensive when knockoff companies like Invicta make watches that look just like a Rolex Submariner for 100$ because essentially a dude with just 100$ can pretend to be part of the 8000$ elite group. To the guy that spent 8k$ to be part of that group it's offensive that a pretender comes in and cheats his way into this group and that person owning an Invicta will be instantly dealt with rejection. Your rant is about that. It is about people spending less to pretend to be part of a group that you spent a lot of money to be part of. It is perfectly understandable. You are proud of your watches and it's offensive that someone could be proud of a cheaper knockoff. The thing to understand is people who buy an Invicta don't buy it to pretend to have a Rolex; they buy it because it looks nice to them and they can afford it. The principle of instead of spending 100$ on a cheap watch you should wait, put money aside and buy an 8000$ watch doesn't apply. The gap is too big. The best way to explain this is that instead of buying an 8000$ Rolex you should wait and buy a 1.2mil Patek. Nobody is judging you because you have a Rolex instead of a Patek and in that same logic, I don't understand judging people because they have a watch you don't like. People buying an Invicta are at least buying a watch with a good movement and are not buying an overpriced fashion watch. An Invicta is a good stepping stone into the world of watch collecting that could maybe one day lead these people to buy a Rolex and all you're doing is pooping on them for getting into watch collecting in a way you don't like. See it like this; an Invicta is a gateway to eventually buy a Rolex and your video is trying to shut the door on that just because it affects your ego.

Wow, best summation ever, and absolutely spot on. Many of us began with Invicta, and it's likely one of the most significant brands in terms of advancing interest in watches. My Invicta buying led to well over 200 watches, from over 40 different brands, from Micro brands, to established Swiss icons (Breitling, Oris, Longines, etc.). Personally, I'd not spend eight grand on a watch, and if I did, Rolex would not be my choice anyway. Piling hate on a brand is pointless, and crapping on someone's happiness is obnoxious. Buy what you like, and you'll like what you buy.

I have watches made by Oris, Tissot, Omega and several microbrands - you get the picture. My Invicita Pro Driver 9937 was my first serious jump into the "watch" world as I had never spent that kind of money on a watch. Mine was made when at the bottom of the dial, it says Swiss Movement. I've had it about 18 years, serviced twice and still is my everyday go to beater when I work. The thing just keeps going. I got it before I know anything about sweeping second hands, hacking movements, etc. It is a great and affordable way to introduce yourself to quality watch collecting without spending a fortune. I have never once regretted purchasing the Invicta Pro Diver 9937.

He's not quite right

When I was first getting into watches, I went down the Invicta Pro-Diver route. First, I got a quartz, then an auto. I don't regret it, as I was just learning about watches. As a pool (billiards) player, I think of Invicta in the same terms as pulling a house cue off the wall. It'll do the job until you know what you really like and spend some real money on a custom or high-end production pool cue. Invicta is a like a "tester" watch company, IMO.

Honestly, I might just buy a pro diver because there’s no way I can afford a sub or anything similar. It’ll be a good Value watch u til I can purchase something I can be proud of. Haha

Technology in watchmaking has blurred the lines between costly watches and Invicta stile watches. I have a Tudor Black bay 58 and an Invicta 1953 which reminds me of my Tudor while doing some risky tasks at home...I have to tell you ...I love them both.

My dial on the side stripped on the Pro diver, can it be fixed at a watch repair shop?

While I agree with what was said regarding similarities between Invicta and other brands, dollar for dollar, Invicta makes a good product without the hefty price tag. I would never spend the money for a Rolex, not saying a Rolex is not a great piece... It is.. I just don't want to spend that much money on a timepiece!

Ugh, I was starting to come around to this channel then saw this. This is exactly why I disliked this channel a long time ago. You're like 27 yrs old and have probably been collecting watches for maybe 5 yrs and have such strong opinions and snap judgments on brands and watches. Kind of just drinking the coolaid of popular culture. Citizen had watches that look almost identical to Breitlings. Are they and homage watch company that "everyone knows that"? Invicta has TONS of watches not just the pro diver or some other homages. Can we just eliminate the pro diver for a minute? Invicta is more than the pro diver. And they have more regular sizes, not just the gigantic watches. I had to see what all the disgust was about so I bought a couple giant 52 mm watches. I can't wear them but people with bigger wrists can and they're actually built really well and are not homages. I can't fault one thing on the finishing. Not one thing. Also, they make so many new things so frequently I have to admire all the tooling changes probably needed and the creativity they're forced to utilize to constantly offer new product. You have to admire them for expanding their empire as well by acquiring Glycine. I can't really hate on any brand. I don't like Omega much but I like some models and think they make a great watch. The MOTFM is an old 60's watch. If the design were so great everybody would be making it now. People love it because they hear people say they love it. It's the snobbish Omega owners I don't like and they drag down the brand for me. You're like them. So dismissive. I remember you were all about vintage Rolex and you had your Cartier and thought you knew stuff and looked down on microbrands. Well what do you know you became a micro brand shill to carve out your niche. Just look at your titles. Top 10 this, I HATE that...... Just chill. I will personally send you my giant ugly Zeus Bolt and Venom for you to look at just for the build quality standpoint (they're like watch art, I'd make them a desk clock but not wear them). We're talking build quality here. Look at Boldr which you like or the giant 45.5mm Omega Planet Ocean or Proploff. Put Invicta on the dial and people would hate them. There's no difference between the Boldr Odyssey and a giant Invicta. Invicta makes 200.00 watches. Did you forget that? Doesn't matter what the msrp is. Everybody does that same thing, maybe not to that extreme but you'd have to be an absolute moron not to figure it out. Watch snobs bother the heck out of me. I don't do videos so have to type it out so sorry your channel gets this rant but it's for any blind brand watch hate.

Please reply me shoulg I buy Invicta pro diver gold watch for party or special occasion if no then please suggest me other best one affordable option

You say that Invicta made a business of copying other brands' watches. Looks like you are trying to make a business out of loudly ranting, spewing unfair statements. Invicta may not design unique watches (so very similar to a lot of inexpensive brands, such as Pagani Design e.o.) but I have a Pro Diver and their Speedmaster and I like them both. Had them for years, kept them on during swimming, fishing, DIY jobs and what nor and they have never let me down. Maybe not original, but affordable and dependable. .

I don't own an Invicta, or even a dive watch for that matter, but if a company can make an automatic watch that fuctions well (I assume it is water resistant), and has a decent movement, looks good and is very affordable......then why not? It costs about 1/3 of a service of the rolex it 's design is based on, and probably needs less service too (4r35/nh35a is a decent, reliable movement). If the invicta needs a service, just buy a new one. You can also ask the inverse question: why does a submariner have to cost 9k? when a similar watch costs 90(!) times less.... Obviously I'd rather have the subbie, but paying 90 times the invicta price....

THIS, is exactly why invicta is laughing all the way to the bank.... the fact they can make a watch SO CLOSE that your splitting hairs in showing the differences, is why invicta remains popular... maybe not to TRUE watch collectors, but to the average, “I will never afford a Rolex” collector, the invicta is one to have AND actually wear, and not feel bad to put a couple marks in it... if the Rolex prices weren’t in the clouds, I would knock invicta, but prices make it out like every Rolex is made of solid gold... there not... there’s NOTHING overly special to make a Rolex so expensive... nothing, and until they can get their prices in order, your going to have people copying them, and if they can make a profit at $100, they will... if a Rolex was $1000 even, I would think differently of the invicta, but your talking more like 10,000.... it’s like 1% of the price... there’s NO FUCKING WAY, that Rolex isn’t making a straight premium profit per watch...

@@Synic08 Here's the thing though, I love cheap mechanical watches that punch above their weight. They're a great thing. I own a Breitling Hercules and know what an upper mid price quality watch is like. The difference between a Rolex and this cheap but good watch in the vid is utterly ridiculous. Every aspect of the Rolex is in another league - from the movement to the in house mainspring on many models. The bracelet to the clasp, the way everything is perfect but understated. Is the Rolex worth it? Well probably not and Rolex's in some ways make Breitlings comparative bargains for no good reason. If you're not a collector a ~$6kish new watch or a $6kish secondhand watch is a once in a lifetime purchase. A nice thing to have. Rolex watches are pretty special although some models do have stupid useless gimmicks. I would say the Rolex's I've handled are special in every way whether they're to my taste or not but the cost is enormous. More reasonably, I got my Hercules secondhand, damaged for $2500 from a Breitling dealer (I told them I wanted a Hercules and they found one for me. At the time they were out of production for at least 5 years). Anyway I paid them and on the same day they sent it Breitling for a full service and repair and I got them to polish it back to a new watch, change the dial, put a new crystal in it and fix all the damaged parts on the bracelet of which there were many. It came back with a certificate and it all cost $1500 (poss $2k) or so to have it like new - so a $4kish watch 10 years ago. New they were $6k but as mentioned they were well out of production so I was considering a Rolex Milgauss but I couldn't justify the price - even then IIRC the Milgauss was 7 or 9k or something; so double! In a Rolex the quality is absolutely there but as you point out it certainly is out of proportion to the cost. Breitlings seem to be about proportional to cost which to my mind makes them a less desirable but more obtainable. IMO your comparison would hold more weight if you were comparing say a $1500 Tissot and a Rolex but I certainly take your point. The reason I say that is I bought my son a Tissot for his 21st and he adores it. It is a very stylish watch with this stainless bracelet with holes in it and the automatic weight has spokes that has holes in it like a Moto-Lita steering wheel. It's an bloody nice watch. The way it has carried wear and tear over the years gives it even more character. My Hercules not so much because it isn't the type of watch that looks good with dings in it as it's a typical somewhat 'overstated' Breitling. I think Rolex's look good with wear and tear because they're understated and have a timeless utilitarian appearence. Some Breitlings like mine just don't age well but still look good I guess - it's a bit showy with all these stupid features I'll never ever use LOL. The watch in this vid is a nothing watch - neither overstated or understated but it is still great fun for the money. I'm going to buy one and wear it to work.

I understand the rant. But strangely it makes me want to buy an Invicta all the more! Yes really! Why? Because I can't afford 90% of the watches that they are homages of. Quite simple. And Invicta make their money because, by and large, their homages are better than other makes of homages.

Watches are bought for the look regardless of brand. If we want a super expensive brand then we still buy because if its look or styling. Those of us who cannot afford super expensive brands will shop a brand that we can afford and still purchase according to a particular look or styling. Invicta doesn't pretend to make rolex clones by any means hence the giant invicta logo on the face and minute hand among other major differences but its styling is similar. Those of us who could never afford any rolex in any styling can enjoy a similar styling in a watch that is totally affordable and looks just as good as any rolex. I was not an Invicta fan until a friend showed me some of his. I liked a couple of them and have since purchased two of my own. I like them as much as I like my Seiko and for the same reason.

I have hoarded 100+ watches over the years lol but Rolex is still way way out of my financial league, not even mentioning the waiting list for a submariner, so I have bought a handful of 'different flavours' of the Invicta Pro Diver 40&42mm, and then some different Speedway 39mm too since the pandemic started, I enjoy wearing them just as much as I enjoy wearing one of my Glycine Combat Sub/Seiko Prospex/G-Shock Gravity Defier/whatever. Hell, I even enjoy wearing a 15 euro Chinese homage occasionally hahaha!

It's the same with fragrances sometimes the cheaper scents get more compliments than the expensive ones. Armaf has made me a believer I was thinking of getting a Invicta watch and I probably will just curious about the brand

I appreciate watch vids and know good hosts can make decent money. But why the vitriol for a brand known to make homages. Including a model the host reviewed positively literally 1 week before this vid. Quote: -- "Guys, wear what you want, and this is a pretty good watch for under $100." Good, simple advice. But, wait my viewers, now I want to bash Invicta again. Sheesh......get a grip man. In my collection is an Invicta 1002 that looks great (to me) and has been flawless for 5 years now. Yea, I know it's an homage and inexpensive. So what? I'm following the advice you offered last week. How this can be SUCH A BIG DEAL to anyone is mind boggling. SMH.....................

Ohh Invicta...they used to make good watches, they have history etc... Then something went wrong. But i'll say this. The ProDiver is a good watch..no it's NOT a submariner by any means but it's a decent stainless diver. Rolex stainless sports watches have hit a RIDICULOUS price level. I mean seriously.. 7K for a used no papers, no box 14060 no date is just crazy. So yes there are TONS of stainless divers at every price point. So Invicta jumped in, put a decent reliable movement in and here we are. They make some of the UGLIEST (look like Richard Mile homages) watches but... I think they serve a purpose. It gets people interested in watch collecting. Someone might pickup a Prodiver or whatever and start looking at higher end watches and start working towards their collection goals. So I think they do serve a niche.. it's better than a Daniel Wellington at least LOL

see the thing is i have an invicta pro diver that was $60 for an homage with A SEIKO MOVEMENT and im on a budget so this was the best way to get a Seiko that can be $200+ for a decent one on top of all this if i bang it around or get rough with it it doesn’t matter i payed $60 for it and do you have any idea how many brands have used the submariner design including seiko?

Invicta watches has style and as well as class with the common person can afford nearly best prices. Not throwing shade but I will always buy Invicta.

Jory, I fully understand your sentiments and I must say, they are well made. The problem is, Invicta makes money, lots of it. So they won't change.

I own a Pro Diver 200m Submariner homage. I love it, 75 bucks for a nice watch with a Seiko movement, you can’t go wrong. I find most of their watches atrocious. A lot of them are ridiculously big.

I'll always love my Pro Diver. First watch I saved up for, my most expensive watch and my first automatic to boot. Currently saving up to get my second one (I'll probably go for the pepsi) so, whilst you are right about the Seiko Jory, and that is completely unacceptable, even you must admit that, for the price you pay for the quality of the watch you get, it is good value. Those large flashy ones that Invicta make, now those are ghastly

When I was after a cheap auto diver, I looked at the Invicta watches but after finding too many quality issues I went for the Orient mako MK1 and I am happy I did.

Am having invicta watch and am in search of someone who can buy it

I'm not an Invicta fanboy, but it was the first automatic watch I bought like 10 years ago (submariner clone nh35a movement ) I've never bought another Invicta but I don't regret buying it for my first automatic. I still own it and wear it swimming and for rough jobs, I've learn't watch maintenance with it. Did I mention it's 10 years old and it works like a champ (well it's accuracy isn't the best but hey it was an $80 stainless steel automatic). I get why your not a fan, I share some of your thoughts, your point with the Seiko clone makes complete sense and I have no idea what their quality is like now. but I have a soft spot for my particular Invicta and I am just defending my personal watches honour not the companies :) Keep up the good work.

There was a time in the past where they made some excellent watches, a great example was the Invicta Reserve Pro Diver 6894 47mm with a Valjous 7750 movement. Now I agree they have gone to the dogs over the last 10 year. But again in the early 2000’s they made some killer homages with great movement and finishing.

Wow. The only model I was aware they made was the Subby homage. Thanks for providing a bit more clarity and understanding. 🤙

Oh, my Pro Diver is still $60 of fun.

It’s how I got started with Invicta watches. I still have a pro diver and an explorer II homage white dial and it keeps great time. It is a beater. It is in the mix with my Omega, Seiko’s, Tudors and many micro brands.

I have an Invicta pro diver and it re-started me on my watch journey back in 2006. I wore it for years and it quenched my lust for a real sub, but as a dad with kids in college I couldn’t allow myself to spend that needed dough on a watch. Finally got my Sub in 2022 and even though I don’t wear my Invicta anymore it has many fond memories and stays in my collection.

1. I get lots of positive comments on my Invicta. 2. For $58 its a super nice watch for the price.... 3. I don't expect it to be a rolex 4. If it breaks it costs less the A tank of gas to replace.. 5. Its a really fun watch to wear.

Not long now before Invicta start homaging their own "designs"....

Maybe just enjoy your watches and don't worry about brands like Invicta so much? Many of us started their watch hobby with these watches and developed their own taste afterwards.

I totally agree with you, but I just like the diversity of style and design the Invicta brand has to offer. I have 6 watches and as long as they don't rust and work; I'm happy.

Great vid, one irritating thing, there is an H in the word homage. Its not Omage, its Homage, with an H.

The internal movements have become so durable, accurate and inexpensive, is why, in my opinion, Invicta would never think about an in house movement. So, with invicta I see some truly original case details such as the Invicta transatlantic reserve 29750 and 25928, these watches are made for eye appeal and have an original rotation of the dials to display 2 time zones and 2 types of watches. Chronograph and analog with a unique hand set that is not a copy of any other watch we have been talking about. Definitely made for the WW2 aviation buff, with rivets on the dial adds to the history of aircraft construction.

Wow that’s a nice looking invicta! It was actually an invicta diver that first got me interested in collecting automatic dive watches about fifteen years ago. I am probably going to have to add this one to my collection because it looks great and without knowing the price I’m sure it will be easily affordable. I’m truly lucky in that I have never given a damn about anybody who judges my watch, guitar, or speaker collections. Get what you enjoy and have fun with it. In fact I know I’m in the minority hear but, it’s actually rolex that I don’t take seriously. I have 5000 dollar guitars that aren’t 4500 dollars better than the 500 ones. And a ten or fifteen thousand guitar even less so. Thanks for the video about the new model looking forward to picking one of these up👍

This reminds me of the story of Lee Iacocca telling his designers to put a Rolls Royce grill on a Thunderbird. That car was the 1969 Continental Mark III. That grill became a trademark for Lincoln. Some said that Lincoln copied Rolls Royce with the grill. There were differences. The design idea was an homage to Rolls Royce and it worked well for Lincoln. The upright grill was used widely on all cars from the 1910's through the 1930's. So, in effect, Invicta is doing what Lincoln did. And, it works. People like good looking stylush things. The Pro Diver gives homage to the Submariner. But, all classic dive watches share a common design element.

To begin with, Invicta actually produces over 4,000 different models of watches each year. Some of which featuring Sellita movements, Seagull tourbillon movements, ect. Homage time piece reproductions are a standard practice throughout the watch making industry, practiced by most all reputable name brands. I guess most Invicta enthusiasts problem would lie with the fact that you only ever critique Invicta's entry level time pieces simply because you don't like the dimensions, or the style of other Invicta models. Every single example you just gave was an entry level invicta time piece that can be purchased for under $100. Comparing a $90 Invicta pro-diver with a $10,000 Rolex sub-mariner is absurd. I would hope for the significant price difference there would be a difference in quality. Realistically is it an even $5000 difference....????? Not even close!!!! You're paying for the name period.

Most Invicta models are just Tianjin Watch company models with different dials. They are Aliexpress specials.

Most of the invicta watch’s I own are Swiss made. The equivalent watch in most other brands would be thousands more to purchase a watch as good. I think my invicta is actually better than your Rolex , for many reasons. It certainly looks better. All of them look better than a Rolex , the one with the Sellita movement is better than a Rolex ,

@@max420thc😂😂 what else can a person that can’t afford a Rolex say lol. If Rolex wasn’t that expensive all you invicta lovers would be wearing Rolex. It’s like saying Kia has a better lineup then Mercedes. Come on guys get your head out your a#% and recognize quality and invicta will never be at Rolex level.

I’m new to hearing about this company. Thank you for the information

I can afford Invicta and still look cool without eating Ramen for months on end... I love my pro diver and you bring out some good points😊

The price of an Invicta Seiko Samurai? One’s dignity!

It's really not this deep bro, Invictas just look good for a reasonable price

@@Kman. You're making it deeper than it is again man. It feels good to look good, and people like to feel good. People do not, however, like spending $9,000 on a watch. Not most of us, anyway.

The Pro Diver is a great gift for my high school friends (who are not watch snobs) coming back from college. 👍🏼

I have 3 invictas, love all of them, not bad watches for $70 but I only buy automatics. Comparing invicta to rolex is absurd, its a sub $100 watch, anyone paying more than $85 for an invicta is getting ripped off. We actually have an invicta store in our local mall, they sell alot of watches. These are the lower end watches I have, one was a gift but I still like them.

I ain't mad at em'. They make watches for non watch people. At least they aren't charging 500+. Or are they?

That's what Mr Old money "standards" here doesn't get. Coz he's a serious collector. The REST of us are guys with a few extra dollars to sling and want to get a nice looking, maybe even over the top looking, cool watch. I can honestly afford a Tag Heuer with the word LINK on the face and say I got it because my name is on it..... but I have better things to spend a few grand on.... I can however justify $300 because I earn like $500 after taxes working a Saturday night in my industrial job.

Amc Corp yes they are! I agree ☝️

the Casio Duro, is also a look alike for one of the Seiko Dive Watches. Your fawning over Rolex is simply amazing, and makes you a Rolex fanboy.. I owned a Rolex back in 1989 when i was butling, I didn't like it .. it sat in a drawer until I sold it in late 1998 for a profit and bought a Tudor Prince Divewatch and a Tag Heur with the Money, which were far nicer looking watches, lighter, easier to wear and suited my Holiday use for scuba diving.

I love my Invicta... An automatic that survived a motorcycle crash and ended up in 4 pieces. Only the band broke, but it still keeps time 🤘🏼

How is the Invicta Venom, Lupah, Subaqua or others “knockoffs”. They’re actually pretty unique, and if you prefer smaller watches, that’s cool, so do I.

@@thetimeteller do you know how many different models Invicta has that are their own design's? Or do you just discount the larger watches just because you don't like them? I have heard for the last 15 years that large watches are a fad. Fad's don't last that long....Disco music was a fad, bell bottoms were a fad....80's big hair....a fad.... ladies jacket's and blouse's with shoulder pads, a fad. Hey...I wish my budget allowed me to purchase an IWC Big Pilot...the 48 mm version. I'd even love to own the IWC Top Gun watch...I think it's a 45 mm. But...I can't. I think a lot of Invicta haters just don't like someone else wearing a watch that looks like they are wearing, and their watch only cost them around $100. I didn't buy my watches to pass down...or as an investment...our money goes to buying food, paying rent, utilities etc....not dropping $8 grand or more on a watch just for the prestige.

Ive had great luck with my Pro Divers. Only one got the slightest bit of moisture in it. After abusing it for years, lots of beach days, pool days, and a few fishing trips. And the moisture is only noticeable to me.

Any thoughts on Case Durer?

will you be ranting at steinhart and many other brands who have copied the submariner as well? I'm not going to be labelled a fanboy for asking am I? I just want to know as lots of companies make homage watches but not all seem to inspire this kind of hate. Maybe it's just fashionable to hate on this particular company at the moment.

Because none of them are this popular 😂 Invicta is probably one of the top 10 watch sellers in the world. People only hate when a company threatens what they care about

Your comparisons were spot on, so I completely understand your rant. The crazy thing is when you place Invicta fans in a box of being stupid. Being disgusted with the company is one thing, but the comment section spell check comment is a bit much. Not every Invicta collector is as dumb as you make them seem. I mean, you even started collecting Invicta.

Trapvision 3D he will fall off that high horse one day

I have a speedway for like 5 years she’s the same , doesn’t look cheap i love my watch 🙂

Well , I have several Invicta’s . Bolt Zeus and some others . It’s seems to be of quality and I have no issues. The hydro max didn’t cost me 11k and I get compliments all the time. So what’s the deal? Some watches look cheap and agree but I don’t purchase those.

Check out the new invicta 1953 diver. Looks a lot like a vintage pre crown guard sub

What’s frenetic presentation,he sounds almost hysterical

I was given a invicta without knowing anything about them. I liked the pro, water resistant, automatic, weight and hefty not bulky or complicated. I thought it is neat that it was a Rolex for working class, but all the watches I found were knockoffs which was disappointing. I like my invicta however probably wouldn't buy another for myself, than again it has been working strong for 10+ years. My stepfather is the invicta fan, he has around a dozen. He also has some of the real deals like a boulevard amung several others. I never knew there were so many invicta haters out there. I like mine because it was a gift for fathers day and I always wanted a Rolex submariner. I wish invicta had a watch of thire own.

I have one that's been in heavy use for 13 yrs ..21j Seiko mvmt first 3 yrs in salt water..never been serviced..great value ..

I have many Invicta watches, most are the reserve collection. Why pick on Invicta? Most companies make similar ranges of watches. The pro diver is one of the cheaper Invicta watches just like the speedway. I find them to be great watches, if you are not a cheap skate and pay a bit more, you get a lot more.

I bought a Pro Diver to wear at work instead of some of my nicer watches. I work around electromagnetic sources and didn't t want to keep exposing my nicer pieces to it. The Invicta does the job at a cheaper price.

Personally I'm not watch savvy, just a regular person. With that said, I'm one to appreciate a nice watch and often times compliment people who are wearing nice looking watches. Do I ever ask what brand they are? no. Do I care what brand they are? no. Do I care what the built quality is like? nope. I just appreciate a nice looking watch. So to me, it makes no difference if they are wearing a Rolex or a knockoff, as long as it looks good on them - just my thoughts.
