4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and Unusual Watch, September 18, 2007

By 

Charles R. Carroll - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Invicta Men's 9329 Speedway Collection Chronograph S Watch (Watch)

I own over a dozen timepieces that include Seiko, Bulova, Citizen, and Invicta. I own no less than 5 Invictas and they all have performed flawlessly. While I agree with the common thought that the manufactured suggested retail price of Invictas is someone inflated the prices found on Amazon for these watches are well below this and the timepieces are well worth the greatly reduced price. One thing for sure, Invicta watches look like they would cost well above the MSRP and therefore you you get one and wear it you will be well pleased. The Invicta Speedway Collection and specifically this watch, the 9329 compares in looks with the Rolex Daytona that goes for 8K to 11K.

One of the other reviewers stated he could not pull out the stem to set the watch. The stem and the pushers on these speedway additions are of a screw down type. In short, the stem and pushers are screwed down into the bezel for water proofing. To operate the stem and pushers you must first un-screw (turn counter clockwise) the stem or pusher away from the bezel and then you may pull the stem for setting the time or push the pushers to operate the other dials (called complications). This may sound complicated, but it is not.

This watch is made with solid stainless steel with a combination of brushed and highly polished parts. The contrast between the two looks great. On this watch the face is a very unusual and very handsome tone of blue. The best way for me to describe it is to say it is very close to the blue tone of police emergency lights. The looks of the watch design, bracelet, and the wonderful blue is what made this watch one of my favorites right out of the box. Please see the picture I posted on the product page under customer image.

The watch has a sweep second hand but it also has a small dial (complication) that is also a second hand and therefore this is redundant. The other two complication dials are minute and hour. Using the pushers you could use this watch as a stop watch but only to the second. The Rolex Daytona however does not have a redundant dial and you can use this watch as a true stop watch. But again, you will be paying thousands of dollars for that watch and less than $130 for the invicta. Basically, the extra complications on the invicta do function correctly but they are for looks. And again, looks this watch has!

The face is covered by a sapphire crystal that is very clear and stands up to wear being very scratch resistant. The product Invicta uses to illuminate the hands in the dark is very good but not the quality you find on watches like Seiko.

The only reason I do not give this watch 5 stars is the redundancy of the second complication and the hands do not illuminate as long as I would prefer. However, the scale here does not allow me to pick 4.5 stars which I would if I could.

I get compliments on this watch every time I put it on. I have been asked by more than one if it is a Rolex. I highly recommend this watch for oneself or as a gift. Again, the picture of it on the page including the image I posted falls short in giving this watch justice. At this writing amazon sells this watch with free shipping for less than ?130 and this watch at that price is a bargain! If you do elect the free shipping be prepared for it to take about two weeks to get to you. Amazon did not even ship my watch for about 4 days after I ordered it but for free shipping I could not complain.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stock Pic doesnt' do Justice, December 14, 2009

This review is from: Invicta Men's 9329 Speedway Collection Chronograph S Watch (Watch)

Just got this watch in the mail. For a $100 plus dollar watch, the UPS guy just left it dead center in front of my Apt door. hmmmm. Good thing i have decent neihbors. Anyways, theres plenty other reviews on the longitivity and durability of this and other Invictas so I'll not comment on that since I just got it. First off, this watch is WAAAYYY nicer looking in person than in the pic. In fact, I think mine might be a little different. The only thing different on mine is that unlike the stock pic and the user's pic where the ring around the chronographs are blue, mine are a brushed chrome. I like that ALOT better, it adds a very classy touch. I looked on the inner band that connects to the watch case, it says 07/06. So i'm guessing my watch was manufactured July of 06'. Hmmm. Something to keep in mind.

Anyways, I was worried that everything would blend into each other and be ilegible according to the stock pics. I was dead wrong. Everything is very clearly decernable and the chorm rings around the chrono's definetly add another lair of clairty.

The texture of the blue and the intensity of it is perfectly balanced. Mine doesn't shine ridiculously like the user pictures on here. It's more a nice brushed chrome type sheene. Not blinding. The bezel and center part of the band are solid chrome. The pictures don't show it well, but it is very easy to distinguish the chrome from the brushed chrome. There's a very dicernable difference.

The bezel is locked in place and does not rotate. The numbers in the bezel are lightly engraved, most likely by laser. They are not just painted on. The crown and buttons are all screw down. They don't screw down like a finely oiled gear, but they don't make you feel like your stripping the threads. It's just a little rough twisting. Everything works as stated so far. The big second had is actually stationary and only moves for the stop watch feature. The little circle at the bottom center is your second hand. It continues to move independently of the big second had when the stop watch is engaged as well.

I adjusted the band myself with a tool kit I got from Amazon as well. A little tip I recommend. Tap the pin out in the direction of the arrow as you normally would with anyother watch. If you lie the pin parallel to the watch band, the big expanded end should be on the side with the arrow and the round end should be on the other side. When putting the pin back, I found it astoundingly easier if you put the pin back opposit the arrow (i.e. going back in the same side it came out). So basically just put the round non-expanded end through the band in the opposite direction of the arrown, then gentally tap the expanded end in. If you try to put the expanded end in first and put it in the direction of the arrow, you'll most likley bend the pin. I did, but it wasn't too bad and i was able to straigten it out. So be careful. Overall, this is a very beautiful watch. It's shiny, the face is detailed but not to busy looking. It's sharp, sophisticated and not tacky. If your tossing about getting this watch, just buy it. When you open the box and see it for yourself, you'll be sold.

4.0 out of 5 stars screw down crown explained, April 15, 2006

This review is from: Invicta Men's 9329 Speedway Collection Chronograph S Watch (Watch)

I do not own this version, but another Invicta, as well as other watches with screw down crowns. What this means is you cannot pull out the crown without unscrewing it, which is done counter clockwise. It will then pop out. Then you push the crown in and screw it clockwise with gentle inward pressure to screw it down.
There is some discussion of the proper care while using the crown on the web. Apparently this is the area where you have the greatest potential to do damage to your watch, any watch. So be gentle, especially when setting the time, date, etc. With most watches you shouldn't do this near midnight. And perhaps do a search on the Web.
The Invicta instruction booklets are completely generic, so it is not surprising that some people might be confused.
