Absolutely incredible.

I cannot think of two better words to describe this watch. I was skeptical because a lot of people rambled on about how big these watches are, and I only own one other Invicta, which has performed flawlessly, but was considerably less than 200$.

I have been wearing a Casio PAG40-3V, which has a listed case size of 53mm. This watch has a case size of 52mm. The reason they appear so large is because of the band. The face of the watch is no larger than the Casio Pathfinder I wear to work everyday.

The build quality and fit and finish of this watch is unbelievable for the price. When I opened the box I literally missed a breath. I just sat and stared at it for several minutes before I dared to start removing the plastic. This watch is visually stunning.

I have watches of all caliber, from Omega and Breitling to Timex. No watch that I own has had the effect that this one did when I first opened the box. The sheer size of the dial and the chrome markings on the sky blue color is simply amazing.

I've only had the watch about a week or so, as such I am unable to comment on the longevity of the movement, however, Amazon gives a free 5 year extension of Invicta's warranty, and I am confident I won't need it. The watch is not nearly as heavy as you would think, actually, it's quite un-heavy for it's size.

PLEASE - I urge you - if you were like me and have been debating about buying one of these because you are afraid of the size, just go for it. You will not regret it. I have a 7" wrist, and it fits me fine. The face is large, yes, but it's not ridiculous. My Casio is still bigger on the face. Due to the length of the case though, the band of this watch does look large on my wrists, but by no means silly. It just looks like a big watch.

The band is the same resin/rubber stuff that all my Seiko Diver's are made of, and the buckle seems to be well made. The GMT hand (For those who are not inclined or unfamiliar) is the red hand. It is NOT a second hand. It will not move but 2-3 "seconds" on the dial every hour, thats because it's showing you the time on the 24 hour scale on the edge of the dial.

Several people in other reviews have stated they got their watch and that the "second hand moves slowly" or "not at all".

It's not a second hand.

Pure and simple - if this watch caught your eye like it did mine. Take the plunge, so to speak. This Russian Diver is worth every penny and I would pay it over again. (Which I now plan to do because there are several RD models that I have fallen in love with the pictures of.)

Perhaps I haven't been clear, I'll summarize.

I am the proud owner of Omega, Tag, Breitling and a Rolex, several Seiko's and Citizens, a couple Swiss Legends, some Zodiacs, and several Casio's and Timex's.

This watch just earned top spot on my wrist and it's time to bust out the automatic watch winder because some of my old go-to watches are about to see some closet time.
