This Invicta Men's 1276 Chronograph Gold Dial 18k Gold Ion-Plated Stainless Steel Watch is almost a perfect watch.  I have reviewed one other Invicta watch (the Invicta 1429) that I love and in my opinion is the perfect watch (for me).  Why not this watch?  The band.  The 1429 has a leather strap band.  The 1276 has a metal band.  The band came ready to fit an 800 pound gorilla.  I looked for instructions in the box and saw nothing that gave me a clue as to how to make an adjustment.  So I went to a friend of mine named "Google"  and entered the words "Invicta", "metal", "band" and "adjustment".  I then came upon a video and a how to site that explained the procedure of making the band smaller. It wasn't easy as I do not have a jewelers tool to remove segments of the band.  So I found an ice pic and carefully applied a good deal of pressure on the small posts that connect each band segment, taking two of them out one at a time.  It is important that you do this carefully so as not to lose parts, damage the watch or worse still damage your hand.  Also it is important to push the post that hold the segment that you are trying to remove in the direction of the arrow found on the underside of that segment.  I only wish that Invicta provided that information.  I plan on getting from Amazon a Paylak TSLK3 Watch Band Pin Remover and Link Remover before I get another metal band watch.

NOTWITHSTANDING the hassle to make the band fit, once adjusted it is one fine looking watch.  It is elegant beyond words, great for wearing with a jacket and tie.  It is smaller than many of the other Invictas so as not to look like a divers watch or sports watch.  I'm sure I will enjoy wearing it for years to come.  Check it out.
