I just purchased my third Invicta in three weeks after discovering them on Shop NBC and reading Mr. Holbrook's reviews.
The newest Speedway 2647 has the Roman Numeral for the "4" as IIII and not IV. Any ideas why this is?
Mr Holbrook....thanks for the excellent descriptive reviews.

You've actually asked a very good question, that deserves a very detailed answer. Check out the link below for an explaination as to why Romans used IIII instead of IV on clocks: www.ubr.com/clocks/faq/iiii.htmlJohn |
