Invicta Diver Automatic Watch

I see Invicta watches everywhere! And they always have an MSRP of like $100's of dollars (I've seen ones up to $1,400) yet are selling for $99.99.... Example - Invite Men's 17203 Aviator on Amazon, list price $895 but you can get yours now for the low low price of only $93... that's a savings of 99%... I'm not even making this up, go search for this watch on Amazon... I can't take a company seriously when it doesn't take it's own products seriously. They aren't worth $900 and they know that, yet they use artificially inflated pricing systems to make you think you're getting a huge deal... It's not just Invicta that does this anymore either, there are a slew of these BS watch brands that do it now. Stuhrling is another example.
By the way, all their pro divers look to be on Amazon for less than $100.... If this is the 8932, you can get it for $53.
Caveat Emptor.

Ashapiro75JLCs, Blancpains, Omegas all sell for 50, 60, even 70% off retail on Grey market. Swiss charge too much too. Caveat Emptor

Ashapiro75That's factually inaccurate. The Invicta Pro Divers selling for <$100 sport NH-35 movements with flimsier bracelets (folded end links and pressed steel clasps). I have yet to see an Invicta Pro Diver sporting a Sellita SW-200 selling for under $200 on Amazon.
As for Invicta being a "BS watch brand", well that's subjective. I am not a huge Invicta fan. I only have 3 of their watches. All 3 are Grand Divers with Seiko NH-35 movements, and I bought all of them for < $150. I am very happy with them. They have a great fit and finish and the movements are well regulated. To be honest I have had no issue with misaligned hands, bezels or dates with my Invictas which, if you are a Seiko fan like I am, you'll be familiar with.
I won't be joining this drop as I have blown my watch budget this month, but I don't see anything wrong with it. In fact I'd rather have more drops like this than the usual Panzera, Spinnaker, Harding nonsense we've seen so much of lately.

hyperchord24That they do. With these companies you pay for intangibles like brand and status. In my opinion paying for stuff like this is ridiculous. Plenty of others disagree (or there wouldn't be a Swiss luxury watch industry). People should just get the watches they like whether they are Invicta or JLC. Who cares what other people think of the brand.
