I always wondered why you would use Phillips-head screwdrivers as hands. HA!!!!! LMAO!!!!!! screwdrivers as hands... ;D ;D ;D too funny... Though I would stop short of calling it forgery.. There are many, many homages out there, and as long as they change something (no matter how small) and put their name on it, I'm OK with anything they want to sell.. I agree, and they do sort of look like screwdriver handles...

And Bos, I think those top 2 look like something Tiggercats cats would cough up in a fur-ball after a bad meal... ;D ;D ;D I suppose forgery is too strong, though the only reason the dreaded "I" company changed the case and bezel is because it would have been too expensive to produce. Someone once told me that their Invicta "homage" was better than my Oris because it had crown guards and mine didn't. The reason? Oris spent more time and money on the design, so that the crown actually seated inside the case, using the case itself as a crown guard. Invicta took the cheap route. I actually like -both- of these watches..... Similar, but not the same.

How about blatant forgery, designed by someone with no style? I always wondered why you would use Phillips-head screwdrivers as hands. This is very unsettling and , to say the least, I am aghast and not just a little appalled!!! To think that a company as well entrenched in the watch manufacture and design business as Seiko would even entertain the thought of blatantly stealing an original and innovative design from a leader in horological design such as Invicta borders on the insane!!! HOW DARE THEY!! ;D ;D ;D ;D

Well boscoe, there's no accounting for good taste. I have read elsewhere that collectors who have the Bell and Ross and the Corduba prefer the look and feel of the Corduba I've seen the Corduba in the flesh and it is a mighty big watch. Here are a couple more:
