I saw this watch a while back on TV when watching a shopping program involving Invicta watches.  It looked nice on TV, so I opted to treat myself to a present and purchased it through Amazon.  It arrived a day late due to a shipping error, but that's no big deal.  When I opened the box, I was amazed at how large this watch really is.  It's definitely an eye catcher.  The center appears black, but when turned at an angle in bright light, the carbon fiber really stands out.  It's  a nice man's watch that I would recommend  to anyone wanting to add a stunning watch to their collection.  To change the appearance from formal to casual, I later contacted Invicta and purchased a black polyurethane wristband.  With the black band, it seems more suitable as an everyday type watch.
