| 1) I DO like the CASE. Like it a lot actually. 2) I HATE the rubber/metal band. I just do. 3) It will be $199 - $299 in 30-45 days on the daily deal sites, ESPECIALLY with the rubber strap. | |

| HONEST opinion regardless of brand...
1. It's a chronograph...Strike 1 2. Dial is WAY too busy...Strike 2 3. WAY too big...Strike 3 ____________________________________ | |

Actual price not revealed yet (currently 498.25)- will definitely drop over time, this helps. 2. 52mm but I'm a BIG dude 300lbs. 6'0". Little watches make me look/feel bigger 3. Hmmm...never thought about this - just buy 'em when I want to.

He works with product development with the company. PM him and he should be able to send you some pictures. ____________________________________ M A R K

| Tough lookin' dude!
Ok, given your stature you can pull that size watch off...seriously.
Now my ONLY "reservation" would be:
1. Get a 3-hand... 2. WAIT for price drop...
I don't think I would ever drop more than $200 on a quartz these days... ____________________________________ | |

| Wait it out brother, let the hardcore geeks buy it until the price drops and it will with that rubber strap! I'm sorry but those straps with the steel bars have got to be one of invicta's cheesiest things ever and the old yellow block of cheese has done some silly things!! |

| Jaws.....
I have one of the original Leviathans with the 7750......it definitely is a big damn watch, and the heaviest one that I own. :ike you, I'm, ahh, "dense" enough to pull it off. But I don't care for the rubber strap on this one. Someone posted at that other place that a bracelet is available for it...but it's like another $100.......too much for the package. |

| I'm going to say if you really like it, then get it Jaw ! The only thing you might want to keep in mind, is that it will probably be coming down in price down the road like everyone is saying. So, it comes down to whether you want it NOW or LATER I guess ! In any case it's a cool looking watch, from those lumed dot markers,to the case and bezel ! Good luck with this !____________________________________ | |

| Thanks Guys - I think I'm good now. Knew I could count on you to talk me down.
I know it all to be true. Crazy stupid to buy now. Still can't quite say never to this one - you like what you like.
Now I just need to make it through this weekend's shows. | |

| It is a very cool watch. I still own a few Invicta's that I really enjoy wearing, however.... all the guys are right......wait it out and get a better price. No one here will tell you NOT to buy it because of the brand. We just don't want to see you pay a premium! |

| Whew - I made it. They just sold out @ $397 This watch is FREAKIN HUGE. Made a Venom look small (which too big even for me).
There will be more variations later. So, I did the right thing and didn't buy. Thanks again guys. | |

I couldn't pull the dreads off, but I could work Jaws shades. |

| Also remember this about these watches.if they are offered on bracelet and strap, you are good.If its only offered on a integrated strap, in 5 years you're screwed. As much as I like Invicta, they don't figure in future inventory for each model.movements? always a solution.integrated straps, bracelets, unique cases,screws,bezels, even the very large sized crystals? pray you don't need any of those parts. |

| Fessing up here - I'm a punk-ass. The Leviathan arrived today - I like it. Essentially paid the premium to make sure I have one...now. I know, I know...Maybe I'll do better next time. Ok, go ahead - let me have it. | |
