It's by far my most fancy Invicta watch. And it is, absolutely gigantic. Don't go small here.

Very thick, very heavy, and surprisingly durable. The one day that I wore it (had a loose bezel and got a replacement) I knocked into one or two things casually, and checked, there's very little space to damage it. Damaged Invicta's usually means metal with visible scratches. Their metals are so nice, but nylon could scratch them, they need extra care.

That said, this thing is absolutely gorgeous. I wasn't so sure about the metal rope adornment thing, and I'm still not really, but it's very beautiful nonetheless. It will absolutely get you attention. As for the face and the pearl, honestly, for such a thick watch, the actual face could be a little wider. There's a pretty thick downward piece that makes the actual dial a little small for this watch's overall size. It's not important, it's still very beautiful and unique, all Invicta. Rage.

Something handy to know about Invicta, they will sell you any watchband for almost any watch, just have the correct number of the watch with the band you want, it's usually 50 bucks and you may wait until next year, but eventually you will get it. I ordered a bunch recently, we will see. They're nice for the Coalitions and Venom's especially (they look fantastic with rubber..(?)) So, it's from Cairo, the biggest sheet-hole on our poor earth. I've been there, it's really gross. There's no public sanitation, that's all you need to know.

Anyway, take it to a good jewler if something goes wrong (unless first 30 days -rETURN!) instead of sending it to them (they take forever), jewler would probably be able to fix most problems.

Problems are:

Loose bezel, if you have one, the first time you go in the water? Kaput. Tap on it, it it's loose, replace it immediately (16.5% of my 40 Invictas have this problem and will never see water). The timer, I've had two that start at 58 seconds instead of zero. I can live with it but woulda returned if I'd known.

I've heard horror stories of hands falling off, bands crumbling into powder, weird stuff that I've never had a problem like that before. Probably angry people, who knows.

So, they're not perfect, but if your smart, follow up your orders with an email saying send me a new watch WRAPPED in Invicta plastic, return immediately if something's wrong, you'll have great watches for years.

You can have one or two Baum Mercier's, or 40 Invicta's. Up to you. cheers
