As an avid watch-a-holic, I ran across a ShopNBC Invicta Watch Info Hour. As a died in the wool, Citizen and Seiko lover, I had to admit that the designs for the Invicta watches were pretty impressive. But, I read some of the reviews and they were less than impressive, especially for their lower end watches and subsequent customer service. So, I saw a few watches that I liked and did some research, I really liked the the Invicta Reserve Grand Lume and the Grand Diver 3045. I called shopnbc and they really don't offer next day service. They did offer "expedited delivery" which would get it to me a week from 2013. So, shopnbc is not on my sellers list. But, I have always been VERY pleased with the service and warranty given by Amazon. That extra 30 days is outstanding and THEIR service is the best in the land! So, if I were to pull the Invicta trigger, that would be the best way to go forward.

I just received my new (1st)Invicta Grand Diver 3045 WITH the Seiko NH35A movement which is a really sound/stable movement. In fact, unlike the description shown here, it is a 24 jewel movement (not 21) that can be hacked and wound by hand. It would appear that Invicta has been reading these reviews because the face, the band and clasp are of a top notch quality and materials. This is a beautiful quality watch for the money. Now at present, my Citizen Blue Angels watch is my favorite time piece, we shall see if this really nice watch is more than just a hand bag for munchkins!?

UPDATE: I took the watch to my watch guy to have some links removed. I have used and trusted this man for 17 years. He has ALWAYS told me to stick with Seiko and/or Citizen and I will never go wrong. I told him for the money, I thought I would take a chance. He shocked me when HE told me this was the best watch on the market today FOR THE MONEY. I was a little surprised, since he always pushed Seiko/Citizen, he said that THIS IS WHAT I PURCHASED, it's basically a Seiko in the movement and a very well made watch. So far, so good...
