. . . that watch is on Shop as I type this. Better than alot of the stuff they have offered in a while no doubt. . . . but I just cannot see paying a grand for it. Regardless of the usual reasoning why not to . . . I voted with my wallet some time back, and will not put a nickel in the pockets of the people selling them. My two-bits for what it's worth . . . which is about two bits!

I actually DO LIKE the look of this watch, the movement, etc.

But I wonder how low it will be on ChronoShark or WOW in about 3-5 weeks?

Firt off, I HATE Invicta....

WIth that said, this is a nice watch and a departure from their usual monstrosities....Too bad they put such a good movt into a watch with FLAME FUZION Crap.....No matter how nice it may be, I wont touch it with Trevors ten foot pole.....Wow that sounded wrong in sooo many ways..

Nice movement, and a real departure for Invicta, with blue hands makes for a good watch in several ways. Flame Fusion? Are they still trying to sell that shit? Why ruin a perfectly nice combination of features with that and all the excess logo BS?

Thanks for the post Bro. The movement is great. As for Invicta.........NEVER AGAIN FOR ME! The few I have left are great but I refuse to line the pockets of The Lalo anymore and will no longer buy anything that Jim Skelton has anything to do with. And that's all I have to say.

its a shame as id drop 1k on that watch in a heartbeat if i didnt have such a shit sandwich from invicta over the years.....SHAME SHAME SHAME

Yeah they almost got me on this one - but I was strong.
Really wanted that movement and don't have a Speedway.
The case back of the 2 tone was awesome.
Credit disappointment in Invicta/JS/MD for not buying.
Plenty of other watches out there lookin for work.

This is very interesting LC ! 53 jewels sounds pretty impressive !
After looking into this movement, and more from Dubois Depraz.
It seems like they are used in some REALLY high end watches out
there ! Thanks for the info !

$140.00 for a replacement module doesn't sound that bad..........wonder what the replacement cost would be?

No thanks...

damn i love you guys from the old place and i haven't bought anything from shop in a year ok i did get a android but this movement in any other watch starts at 3000 and up some i find 20,000 i really really don't understand all the hate i really don't i love watches all kinds and all companys and most of the crap invicta makes now is just that but not here i did buy this watch,support, lined pockets , i guest but i don't have atless 3000 for this kind of rare movement.I guest i don't let things bother me the way all you have,so i don't know if i even belong here it's a watch.

It's a nice looking watch, but when you buy a watch you buy the name too, beyond the TV shows Invicta doesn't have much of a reputation to stand on in the real world of watches, by the way they run their business. they make some really nice watches but they don't hold value long, buy one in a six months from those that will sell them at half because they were sold a watch.

Cannon...all that matters is that YOU like the watch and no one here is going to give YOU PERSONALLY any grief for getting something that YOU like!

Enjoy dude!

If everyone owned the same watches, or even liked the same watches, things would be BORING. Enjoy your new watch

I think its a gorgeous piece and I'm jealous as heck, Bill! That one could be the crown jewel in your collection. Its got that kind of potential. Enjoy!!

Over 500 remaining in black!! I'm sure they wished they made more TT and silver!

I think they are overdoing the blac IP offerings. Last night Renato had a show and nearly all the watches were black IP.

Regardless of brand, MOVEMENT (other than being automatic) is waaaaaaaaaaay down the list of things that initially attracts me to a watch...

Its a nice module.Theres two types.A piggyback which the 2021 is when mated to the 2892-a2 and an integrated dd module.
I like the 2023 module used in the tag heuer aquagraph.Dead on reliable. This configuration that Invicta bought has the exact same
dial layout as the Hublot. Just from looking at the photos on shop,you can see they attached the hands correctly on this one.
you'll notice that the pinion? looks shroomed on top of the hands.their other models that don't attach the hands that way end up
falling off.That seems to be the big issue with invictas today.Shoddy assembly and parts.
Rarely is it ever the movement manufacturers problems.They can't know what will happen to a movement once its sold.
I think invicta used a better company to produce this one so most likely their won't be any hand or movement issues.Then
again,the price is pretty low which leads me to believe that again,corners were cut to make this watch.
If you've followed invictas track record for repairs,you find out that invicta can't repair any swiss movements.They don't have
the parts inventory.So while this is really a nice watch,in 5 years,whos going to service it? no service center in the states will
work on the dd module.They can service the base caliber,but thats it.These movements normally go back to Dubois-Dupraz
who installs a new module then rebuilds the old one.companies with long service history like omega and breitling who do use
dd modules on some models have inventory and can do the service.If invicta would buy parts when a model line is done,they're after sales
service would be much better.But because they don't have a factory and sell watches made by contractors,none of them will be
more than paperweights in the future.
I think invicta is the biggest throwaway watch company on the planet.only the older models can really be serviced by an independant watchmaker
if its just a movement service and seals.If they actually need case parts,then its history.

well i cancelled my order it seems some watches are coming in with hands that need recalib same old same old

+1! anoter invicta failure brought to market without enough real world testing! sound familiar?

. . . another file in the department of redundancy department . . .

And the sad part about the thing that people are still being ripped off. They use a very in demand movement, farm out the work and rake in peoples money. No, it isn't going for $4000/up, but I work pretty damn hard for my money and don't want $900+ dollars just thrown away! I'm glad you were able to cancel your order before you got stuck Bill.

i haven't bought a new invicta for awhile and with this so called rare and great movement i really wanted this one and take a chance,i'm not a movement snab but this was very differnt than anything i had well the watches for still coming in were are up to 8 with the same hand recali problem....i guest all i can have and love is all my v7750 SAIII sorry i just love the watch.

My Gawd this is really awful. I really feel for those that heard the music from this watch.
I actually heard a few notes from the movement alone myself but backed off.

You gotta take the company and history into consideration when making such a purchase.
Much to the omission of MD who emphatically stated only 3 things matter (paraphrased)
1. Do I like it?
2. Can I afford it?
3. Do I think the price is fair/reasonable?

Hope he isn't choking on that post now.

So sorry LC I know it was singin to ya.

The real pisser is that JS first went online at WG and posted that 7 watches with known problems "out of 1,800" wasn't exactly a big problem.........then it was pointed out that it was 7 known problems out of the hundred or so that were purchased by WG members.......

Sorry, but Invicta will never get any of my watch money...

...just saying.
