If you buy a new Invicta, especially from SNBC, don't shoot the watch.......have somebody shoot you!!!    At this point, I am seriously considering getting rid of my 8926ob, black dial Military Automatic #2276 and my black dial S1 ProDiver LE #2310!

 

I've got my green dial military, which I still really like, a coin-edge 8928, which is a little beat up, not worth much, this POS S-1 (remember how excited we were to be getting an LE for $50), my OGII Silver face which sees alot of wrist time, an OGII black face which I'll probably just hold to for parts, as it's got the stripped out crown, and my 1948 champagne dial I bought from Tony. It's my favorite watch, although the winding thing is very difficult, and I'm afraid there's something wrong w/ it too. My watch buying days are on hold for a while, but I'll certainly never buy another Invicta. Too many interesting, comparitively prices alternatives out there.

 

I have my 2014, my 2015, silver dialed Executive #2104 and my Lume (green) dial Military #2275....the others I mentioned.... can go, except for my Classic Lupah which I wouldn't wish on anybody.  The Black Dial Military #2276 is a great watch, but my TRIAS Backgammon w/ Unitas 6497 has a very similar case in a much finer piece.

The never worn 8926ob is nice (as is my very seldom worn S1 ProDiver), but I have no use for either................my Seikos take so much more precedence for wrist time.  I do have a Date Master GMT Quartz beater wich is excellent for cleaning the pool............'cause, who cares what happens to it! :D:D:D
