I don't like Invicta as a brand, and am not interested in a homage submariner, so will keep my hard earned money for better use. In example if MD threw a Seiko Flightmaster (quartz) for a similar price, I wouldn't hesitate one second (hint hint Massdrop!)
This being said, I just recently went in on the last drop on a Glycine, which is Invicta now. And I do find the price versus specs to be a good value, particularly with that movement. I doubt someone could find a homage sub with such specs for such a price. So I do understand the ones who went in. Am just not part of them :)

I agree on the bezel, which is a deception, it feels cheap. For the rest, I find "absolute garbage" to be a very harsh comment. Overall the watches case is very well finished, the display back well executed, the dial as pretty as the pics and the display movement very pretty. The NATO it came with is nice also, but that hardly counts.
I'm not sure if I'll keep it or flip it, more likely I'll flip it as there is something I don't manage to get used to with the case shape on my chicken wrist. But in my owner's opinion, it's definitely not absolute garbage. Below my expectations, particularly the bezel? Sure! But I can't fault it on other things so far. Just not sure it's my type of watch/case shape.

Can't judge Invicta owned Glycine production ("Armani" like logo??). I got one from the beginning of 2015 so pre-invicta. I was torn between Longines HC and Glycine Combat sub....gone for Glycine (read many comparison and then hands on comparison it was 70 to 30 for Glycine). So garbage is word I would avoid as much as it is possible as it definitely is(was) not true. Bezel is very susceptible to dents and scratches - but I am afraid it's normal as it is aluminium- Longines HC bezel fades out...so who is to blame for garbage. What is not normal is price for bezel and it's availabity- I got offer from AD to get new for about 1/5 price of watch at grey market.....compared to Steinharts price for ceramic bezel...it is insane. Even with such cosmetic issues I have never regretted my choice(last measuring period which is now about three weeks Iam no more than -1s/day!!!!)-quality corresponds with original pricetag (I know I can get for about 500$ new at Jomashop etc. but there is or was big problem with warranty and Glycine when bought online and not from authorised dealer - local AD did not accept warranty repairs from such purchase and was backed by Glycine dealer rules) Till the Invicta step up to Glycine ownership I was happy and proud owner...I know that Glycine is much less credible now and when I saw latest modern skeleton airman...I was just disappointed and started to believe that there will me much more influence from Invicta than it would be bearable (well Combat sub 48mm??? WTF??? ), such a shame to drown classy company (airman has definitely its place in watchmaking history ). But I still hope they maintain quality of pre-invicta production, if not then I hope there is a place in hell for those who are responsible for this. 😈
