got an invicta 4554 yesterday

Guest

Did a partial trade to aquire this subaqua.I do still collect them.Since they seem to be going large, I thought it was time to get one of each model to compare the older Invitas build quality to the new ones.I bought the sas, then a sanIII. the problem with that one is I snapped both lug tubes and screws so waiting for new parts from invicta.maybe see them in 2011.This new one is the 3 hand auto,sw200. the bracelet and case is different from the quartz versions.much larger and the bracelet is more complicated and really not that good after I had time to take it apart.

I have to admit, the watch has a GREAT looking dial.

Definitely Invicta's best line!

Congrats and enjoy!

Great pics Sean! had the same model but Stainless/black, i liked the watch but got bored with it in a hurry and it didnt wear well on my wrist! Hope you enjoy it but i've got a feeling you will be tearing it apart to see what it's all about!

It looks nice enough but I am just not in love with the newer (big assed) Invictas...I'll stick with the Pro-Divers and such that I already have.

. . . I've read and seen and heard the clatter about these for some time, yet the watch never drew me in.

Good looking no doubt, I love silver and black, but just not me . . . got an invicta 4554 yesterday Icon_scratch

Of all the SANlll the three-hand is the only one I like. I have an all silver as well, heavy beast, but fairly comfy.

Super Sub Aqua III Sean ! got an invicta 4554 yesterday Icon_smile

This watch looks awesome !
The gold and black make the watch look VERY rich. The BIG
case as well as heavy bracelet seem most impressive. I really
like the dial and that outer ring which is lumed too ! In fact
all of the lume looks great on the SAIII. That case back and
movement are extra cool also. Congratulations to you..Enjoy !

I have the all black version, sub aqua is a cool watch. congrats and enjoy it!

Guest

Nice watch, big in size, but good. I don't know why but I gold tones are growing on me, wait there's something growning on me.

Guest

It's a beast of a watch, very good looking but after owning 2 of them the sheer weight of the watch made it difficult to wear.
