Watch arrived today and it looks and feels amazing. I was a little concerned about ordering an Invicta from Amazon based on customers reviews of other Invicta models available for purchase. At least 30% of the reviews I read from other models complained about broken parts, receiving different watches then what is pictured, and watches labeled "Swiss Movement or MVT"(Chinese rip-off) as apposed to the genuine "Swiss Made" movement. But in all honestly they could label it whatever they want and I wont know the difference until it breaks down. So far though the watch looks and functions perfectly.
The watch has a VERY LARGE face so please understand that before you order. It is also a VERY THICK watch, it raises 2 inches off my wrist. I knew all this before I ordered it so I am very pleased. But if you weigh less than 200lbs and have thin wrists you will look like a clown wearing it. This thing can also double as a self defense weapon, if you get in trouble just take it off and beat your assailant with it, its sure heavy enough.
The only negative aspect I can find is when I opened the box the watch was actually running! This is a huge mistake because I dont know how long it has been running so the battery might die in the next 15 minutes or 2 years from now. Most diving watches are pressurized to prevent water from seeping in, so when you replace the battery you need to send it off to be re-pressurized for a fee and its not cheap. It also makes me wonder if it was purchased and then returned for a reason I cant see.
Overall I am very pleased with my purchase and would do it again in a heartbeat. This watch retails for $995.99 and I got it at a fraction of the price. (The day after I ordered it, amazon raised the price by $50) I'm sure its worth much less than that, but the price I paid is on par for a genuine Swiss made movement. Throw in the fact that if you order the watch from Amazon you get upgraded to the Invicta Platinum 5 year warranty for FREE! ($40 value). Just make sure you register it on Invicta website within 30 days of purchase. The only thing that is left is to see how long the watch will function. I will update my review if it turns out to be a low-quality item that breaks down after a few months, but as of right now I feel fine recommending this time piece to my friends and family. I am a avid watch collector so this will fit nicely in my collection
