I decided I liked the look of the Rolex Submariner, but not the price. I didn't want to buy a replica/fake Rolex, but I recently discovered there are some nice "homage" subs (I also realize this is a potentially controversial subject). I'm frankly not interested in any "religious" discussions about it, although I know some have strong feelings on this topic. I like the sub look but I'm simply not close to being able to afford the real thing (or wanting to invest that much in a watch, anyway - I'm a single Dad with 3 kids). I don't mean to offend anyone but there it is.
Anyway, I actually ordered an Invicta 9937ob with the coin edge bezel because it seemed my research had turned that up as probably the leading sub homage. It hasn't even arrived yet and I'm already having second thoughts, partially based on Invicta's apparent (lack of) reputation for customer service and quality control, although I also have found many satisfied customers. Then last night I discovered Debaufre...
Long story somewhat shorter, I am now considering sending back the Invicta, ponying up an extra $100, and buying a Debaufre Ocean-1 instead. I particularly like the Red Red variation (pic below) although I know that color may seem too gaudy to some. I love it, personally.
What think thee, my new brethren (and sisters): should I send the Invicta back when it arrives and buy the Ocean-1 instead, or should I keep the Invicta and give it a try (I have 31 days to send it back)?
Cheers,
Clark
