Not that I would buy it, but I thought it was REALLY cool until I saw this...
First, not a huge fan of PRINTING on the side of a case...
Second, if you are going to do it, at least align it right!
Not really a slam on the manufacturer, but more an example of where "less would be MORE..."

That's what makes it limited...it is worth a fortune BECAUSE of the misaligned printing....sort of like a baseball card, the error edtion is always worth more because less of them were made. (Did that sound believable? )

Probably should have left the limited edition on the case back only. Putting it on the side, seems to take your eyes away from the watch itself. There are some nice details on the watch, like the coin edge theme on both the bezel, and pushers. However, you do find yourself going back and staring at the LE there !

nice case to mod, i hate that invicta has got to put crap all over the place! If it didnt have the up LE on the side of the case, i could have done some machine work on the caseback and dropped another dial in and had a nice watch!

Some of the Invicta Geeks really believe this to be the gospel. I can't tell you how many times a flawed watch is described as a "collectors item". Yikes!

That piece should be "scrap item" and not a "collectors item." Yet "one man's trash..."
