Encantado de comprar mi Invicta.

Mi reloj favorito, tiene buen precio y el envío estuvo más o menos, les faltó actualizar el estado de mi producto pero de lo contrario todo bien, encantado de haber comprado mi Invita.

Buy it, if you dont like it, sell it for about what you bought it for (try doing that with a rolex)

First and formost this is THE poor mans Rolex 2Tone 18K Gold/Stainless Steel Submariner Blue Diamond 16613 and yes, its a COPY with only the INVICTA branding and logo on the front to set them apart to look at. Turning the watch over you see its a standard case & clasp so its NOT going to fool anyone who takes even the closest interest in it as the open case back, displaying the seiko movement and looking at the words INVICTA engraved on the side make this a HOMAGE watch.

The seiko movement inside is a trouble free and very accurate time keeping movement that can be regulated but I cant see anyone bothering unless it was way off. The case is surprisingly solid enough and the right size at 40mm (same as a sub) and 12mm deep with viewing case back. The hands hold enough LOOM light that you can use for say an hour or so after going to bed, by which time you should be asleep and when you wake during the night it has enough residual glow to make out the time but like all non tritium ones it goes from ultra bright to dull in an hour or so.

The one way bezel clicks with some authority and has almost 0 wriggle and is easy to grip and move but its hard to do so accidentally and over all these Invicta's are amazing value as the same movement with the day/date combo in a seiko is x3-5 times the price! The gold plating hasnt moved, so im guessing its good for a decade or more of daily ware as i was worried it would tarnish and rub off and was relived when i found it hasnt. Being think coated also means it resists marks much better than a real ROLEX.

Now lets get to the 200m water resistant claim. It has a screw in crown, always a good start. Its has seals in all the right places, which is nice but i WOULD NEVER TAKE THIS DIVING! No way. I dive and this watch will only go as far as the beach for the day and a swim! Afterwards id rinse at the beach with fresh water and wash it in the shower with soap and rinse again. Not because I think it will rust, but the PINS are prone to it on all but the best watches that use much higher quality pins. They are easy to replace and cheap, no its a no brainer and it wont hurt the watch or band but watch pins dont like salt water, you have been warned and thats not just this watch, but ANY from my experience!

So looks are amazing, at normal distances in company i bet no one can tell at a glance its not a genuine rolex, sorry it looks that good and it DOES draw attention. People are amazed when they look and see its not and except for ArchieLuxary on youtube, almost everyone wants one after looking at this! thats credit to the quality of the homage is it is the credit due to the rolex original too. Lastly, you can get this as a QUARTZ (about 20 cheaper than the auto) with an standard back, steel case with engraving. Perfectly accurate I got one for my dads 70th and he loves it, never takes it off (almost wish, knowing this id gotten him the auto too as the smooth sweep of the hands is mezmizing!)

He has alwsy's wanted luxury things, so a used v8 BMW and this watch, he feels like a king!

I highly recommend these watches, Id prefer to ware this than the real thing, except for the few times i dress up and then its out with a genuine rolex or omega. Otherwise this is 1/4 the price of say a quality Steinhart watch which is the next level up in Homarge IMO. Personally, id buy this and i have both.

You can disagree, you can google Invicta haters all over youtube but if you believe them and you need to spend good money that will really hurt then just go pay retail on a real Rolex, I think the 2tone is about >US$20,000 and good day to you too! Read full review
