Really Big But Not Big Enough!, March 31, 2008
This watch is one of the biggest watches you can buy although I do believe there are actually bigger watches. Check out U-boat watches but be warn, they are pretty pricey. Since the manufacturer is Invicta, you know this is cheap and it is fairly priced given it is a skeleton mechanical watch. Since it is a mechanical watch, you would have to wind the crown clockwise everyday - not too big of a deal given that you will want to play with this baby all day if you're not already staring at it every minute. At first, I balked at the chain which connects a waterproof cap over the crown - UGLY. But if you get this model, the skeleton model, it actually complements the chain in a sort of elegant, mid-century theme. The Quinotaur is also available with a titanium bracelet but I do not find that bracelet to match the style of the watch and titanium will give it a cheap, light feel. There is no substitute for hefty stainless steel which you would want in a monster of a watch like this one. I never thought I would buy a Invicta, but the sheer size has caught my fancy. I did dread that it be too ridiculously large that it would not fit on my wrist or rather protrude over it, but there are no problems and the watch is almost perfect, mind you I have a smaller than normal wrist. I did say almost perfect because it is possible to get overboard once you get used to this baby. By this I mean, I really do not think it is big enough! It can still be bigger! A great buy and well worth every penny. But if you ever compare this with your fine collection you will notice the obvious differences in the subtle details.
