| My mentor and business partner has a 16613 TT rolex sub just like mine, we (he) bought two at the same time for the two of us! When the sickness came on and i went crazy with invicta and had the rollie serviced and polished and put away, he got the bug too! I gave him a seiko orange monster and about 5 other pieces (let him pick out of my box because he bought two philip admirale's when they first came out, same deal one for him and one for me! Since he wears that friggin OM everyday i called him up at home in Bend Oregon and told him i want two watches back, he sent them out to me on ups on wednesday and i got them today! the Oniss is already torn apart,got busy with it and gone is the cyclops and just finished brushing the case and bracelet, just waiting for some hands from jay since everything i have is seiko and dont want to put the hands on and tear it back apart to put the swiss second hand on! This is the Yacht master style bezel and i will still drill a hole in it and put a lume pip at 12, got some cool hands ordered and it will be a fun one when complete! 43/44mm swiss eta 2824 with a diver clasp, just a great watch that oniss just doesnt make anymore! Here are some before pics, have to wait for the after shots.. Watch #2.. never say never is all i'm sayin'! Always liked it and kind of missed it but dont be suprised to see a mod or two later on! Back up to two invicta's and it sure taste good!! |

| Definitely one of invictas 5 best divers ever made. Modded or no, that is awesome!
I'm interested to see the finished Oniss, it's just like my Audsie that I need to mod or get rid of! |

| Congratulations on getting these watches back Trevor ! I like the looks of both of them. The Oniss has a smooth aggressiveness to it. Great bezel, cool dial, and tough bracelet. I can only imagine how much tougher you are going to make it look ! ..Same goes for the Invicta ! It's an eye-catching watch all the way around. Looks like a SOLID build on that one ! Enjoy them both, and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens with the Oniss ! ____________________________________ | |

The bracelet on the Oniss looks solid, is it a 4mm hey ron, the center link is a little thicker, almost 4.5mm and the outer links are in the 4.2mm range. solid bracelet with screws! had three of these at one time , black dial with silver bezel, black dial with black bezel and i very different blue dial with blue bezel! you will see them with the yacht master style bezel like this one every once in awhile but the painted bezels are few and far in between! Such a great little diver i'm shocked that Alon quit making them and oniss is all about ceramic now! |
