Link to deal

Nice looking watch. Received an email from a new vendor wanting to get his site's name out there with this deal. I know nothing about this outfit. Cheapest price on Froogle appears to be $182.

I think we've pretty well beaten the "Invictas are definitely not as good as my Rolex/Tag/etc. " thing to death on previous Invicta deal postings here. We all know that you get what you pay for. Having said that, I have a dozen different Invictas, wear them daily, and none of them have ever failed. I buy for the looks and the affordability, not status or deep underwater performance. Your needs may be different.

Wow, senior member, and sending spam out. Way to go!!!

I'm usually not a fan of quartz, but I like the look of this one. It will go well with my other Invicta automatics. Thanks OP!

Tempting, although I would like a silver/black dial better.

But good deal, and it is 100m resistant and most importantly has a SAPPHIRE CRYSTAL

Maybe it's just my eyes getting old, but I find that design extremely difficult to read.

These watches are always ugly.

I'm never buying a watch without a sapphire crystal again. I'm one of those lucky guys who got a bunch of Victorinox watches for $39 from shopathometv.com, including the one I wear now the V7-22X Chrono Racer.

The sapphire is still crystal clear, and blemish free, yet the ring surround is scratched in many places. I've always been bad at hitting my arm against stuff, like when pulling my motorcycle out of tight spots and running the watch against the wall (better my wrist than the precious bar-ends!!)

FWIW

I agree 100%. My mineral crystal watches are scratched within days, but I'm rough on my sapphire crystal ones and they're still perfect. This is still pretty tempting...

Second2None said:All this talk about sapphire and mineral crystals, are these really made from sapphires, or is it glass coated with some form of sapphire compound?

It's ACTUALLY sapphire (albeit a synthetic one). It lacks minerals which make the natural sapphire have it's color.
