I own an Invicta LE Pro Diver with a carbon fiber dial. I like it a lot. I just ordered the Prowler in sstl also with a RAW carbon fiber dial and I got to wondering. . . is carbon fiber, whether dyed or raw, such a big draw in purchasing a watch? If you own CF dial watches, provide your opinion (and a pic if you like).

I personally love the look of carbon fiber. I have several CF bits on my black '94 Miata, and someday plan to add several more as part of a major update & restoration.
On watches, I fear that CF will become this decade's avacado green. But even in that case, it will be something to remind us of these years and where we were during them. My first CF watch is on order: the Prowler Chronograph with blue CF and rose tones.

Hey Rusty, I love the CF dials. I looked for the one you have - no luck.. I do have one CF watch (won't post a pic, its a Tudor & don't want my hand slapped ), and I did buy it because of the dial. I probably wouldn't have bought it without the CF dial. Personally, I think a well done CF dial will be around awhile. And even if they go out of style, I think they'll become the 'classics' of the time...

Us, slap your hand Scotty? Not us. Maybe we would "borrow" your Breitlings for a few days. . .

I own one CF, a Renato. I like different dials be it MOP, CF or other. I really, really like that Prowler with the CF may have to try that one in blue!

I own two CF's one a Swiss Legend in White really disappointed in the look of it. And a Renato OTV Hunter Green CF. The Renato is AWESOME!! Vibrant very 3D looking just stunning I know their not Invicta's but I think two is enough for me for now.

I had the Blue CF dial owned by our friend Mr. Wauters. I gave it away - off my wrist - to a pal about five months ago. I miss it - but my pals wears it more than her Rolex Sub. She loves it - and, get this, left me a message today (no kidding) that she'd stumbled across the Invicta shows on SNBC and they make beautiful watches. Then she said, and I'm not making this up: I saw a diamond and meteorite dial watch that looked like something you'd love. It would go great with your business suits. You should buy it. LMAO!
