This is my first Invicta watch--it will not be the last.  I researched my purchase quite a bit and gravitated toward the Russian Diver as my first of the collection.  Here are my inital impressions: very solid, big, well-made and eye-catching.  This is a big watch--not "cartoon big" like some of the bling watches at the mall but if you are shopping in the Invicta section you are probably ok with the big-ness.

I paid under $100 on Amazon special, but the MSRP tag said $599.00!  This watch is definitely a steal at $100 and I could see myself paying comfortably around $200 - $300 for hardware like this.  Paying $600 would be way too much.  I guess I am spoiled / too informed to pay sticker.

My only complaint is with the luminosity: the outside dial stays super bright at night but the hands and numbers are a bit too faint.  I had to look hard to see the time at night.

Modifications / Hacks:
  I read some reviews of people that had trouble loosing the small screws that hold the decorative metal weights in the watchband.  I decided to head off that problem by putting some threadlocker (glue-like stuff from the auto parts store) on the threads of those tiny stainless steel screws.  I really don't think it was necessary as each of the 16 screws were in there pretty tight, but now I have some invisible insurance.  Amazon does sell replacement bands and hardware to fit these watches if you ever need replacements.
