LMAO, wautersjr. Thanks.
A tribute to my keyboarding prowess. . . 35 words per minute with 33 errors. There's a long story as to why that is the case that goes back to my days in high school typing class.

I've got a suggestion. Don't buy an Invicta over $500. But if you do (Original Russian Diver), only spend a little more (like $699) and make sure it's got a real movement in it (Unitas 6497), unless you fancy that COSC Automatic ProDiver Chronograph 7750 for $899 or the Automatic Lupah with the Valjoux 7750 for $1149, but once you're in that ball park you might want to stretch it a bit more onto the fantastic world of the Reserve Collection for $1500 plus, but that would make it difficult not to go for the ultimate Invicta Watch, the Sub Aqua Noma III quartz for $1200 unless you're a WIS which I suspect you'd prefer an automatic or mechanical which brings us to the Automatic version of the Sub Aqua Noma III for around $2200. Yeah, that's it. $2200 for an Invicta. That's the ticket. Unless it comes in defective and you have to send it back to have it replaced. Wait! For $2200 I could have bought an Omega or several other prestigious watches. Hmmm... Maybe I just should have spent no more than $500 on an Invicta. But if you do (Original Russian Diver), only spend a little more....

It's a viscious cycle.
That's what we get for loving watches.

koimaster, Good idea. That has been suggested, koi. The reason why nothing has happened has to do with sponsorship issues=$$.

Esp. when the 2 main networks seem to be branching into a few non "TV Brands" (oops-I just read Rustys previous thread) Dumb Rooster!!!

Has anyone from this Forum ever tried to contact EL or JS and have an interview with them?
I'm not talking about a CS bashing per say, maybe have everyone submit a question they'd like answered and have EL or JS answer them. Say 20 questions.
I'm sure that EL would be asked about the QC issues, but I'm also sure he can defend his record of production just as well.
I think it could be very educational depending on the questions. Design, production, etc.
We get a lot of complaints here, but we also are BIG supporters and fans of Invicta and want to see the company do its best and continue bringing cool watches to us lovers.

Just want to hello to all; I'm a new member to the forum but have been collecting invicta's for about 5 year's. All it took was one purchase from shopnbc. I then started a small business "sold at flea market in Wa state which included invicta as well as fantasy knive's,sword's...any way it didn't take long for me to find that people didn't have the same passion I had or have for the Invicta. It was also better for me to get out of the business of selling watches,knives and sword's at the local fleamarket and just collect what I could.. Beside's buying off the TV was cheaper than what I was paying to resell the Invicta's and now here I sit the proud owner 15 invicta's & 5 more that were given to my wife. Who now is a Invicta collector along with her 2 daughter's who are invicta owner's of the Babylupha limited edition's....I have not had any problem's with any of these watches other than Ireciently bought the new watch care set and tried to remove the screw's from the back's of 2 of my lupha's for battery replacement. I couldn't remove the screw's, couldn't see what I was doing but a jewler took care of them for me and said that you shouldn't be messing around with such expensive watches.....and with that he charged me $40.00 for the 2 batteries. Oh the suggestion after a newbe finish's becoming a member they should be poped to let me introduce myself posting. The Bottle Top Kid

hi chaibill. Thanks for the suggestion but I am not sure what you are suggesting? What do you mean by a "show?"
