general rule : don't buy fashion watches

mainly due to poor resale and the fact they're usually licensed to other watch makers that use generic movements.

The reason why this doesn't apply to say watch makers that use generic movements like ETA is largely due to the watch makers' own stellar reputations and thus ability to hold and retrain value.

Invicta was a true Swiss brand a while ago. I imagine they died in the quartz crisis. The rights to the name were bought by an American entrepreneur, who is permitted to claim lineage to the original Invictas history. These days, they don't do any actual manufacturing and I somewhat doubt that they do any assembly. Like many companys, they have an OEM who does everything and slaps Invicta's name on their products while Invictas simply markets and sells.

The new Invicta is a mixed bag: their business model, their constant "sales" and overinflated "MSRP", poor customer service, sometimes poor quality control, over-branding of their product, and their claims to their past which are legally legitimate (regrettably) are detested by most watch collectors.

However, they do have some good offers from time to time and many watch collectors begin their hobby with Invicta. So long as you're not seeking repairs under warranty or contacting the company themselves, they can be ok watches.

Well no shit. No one could possibly claim that 40 hour power reserve via winding is better method of storing energy than 2$ battery that lasts 5 years, starts to warn you couple of months before running out of power, and costs about 5$ to change at jewellery if you can't do it yourself.

$815 AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA no. 80 bucks for that hunk of brass would be a rip off. You can put a $100000 price tag on a tata nano, but sl merc it does not make. Current Invicta is based on Florida, but even the old invicta that was rumored to be Swiss (there's no records of that in Geneva) was not a revered brand at all. Have anyone ever actually seen any vintage invicta? I sure haven't. Most of their watches have Chinese movements and the "hi-end" pieces use cheap Japanese movements. Other parts as well as assembly are made in China. So don't go waving that skin cancer factory around like some swagfagnigger saying it's some sort of luxury item (that you "happened" to get 80% off) when you have no clue what you're talking about.

Oh boy. You fell victim to Invictas marketing "scam", on which their whole business seems to be based on.

Invicta uses bullshit RRP's (retail prices). Literally every single Invicta watch is on massive "sale", 60% off, sometimes even 80% off. That's all just a bullshit though, they never cost the retail, they are designed to cost the retail. That's just a number they pulled from thin air.

They basically just scam people to impulse buy that shit because you think you are getting a good deal.

>No, but imo their prices for quartz watches are pretty outrageous

How is it different to charge say 400-600$ for a quartz watch with 20$ ESA quartz movement, than to charge 400-1000$ for a mechanical watch with 50$ ETA mechanical movement?

I often wonder this when people get all suprised when they see expensive quartz watches, but don't give a fuck about 2k$ Tudor with ETA2824-2.

Just make sure it isn't one of those bund straps (google if you don't get what I mean, basically that don't go under the watch). Also, does the strap really have to be an extension of your personality?

Your watch is rather chunky, and has that little bronze tint. If you want it to me more casual, Id definitely go with thick brown leather. Something like pic related. If you want more dressy look, I'd go with the thinner alligator style above.

If you like the watch buy it. Check price from Creationwatches.com first though, they usually have cheaper rates than Amazon, also they have free delivery.
