The watch does nothing for me as it reminds me of the King Cuda whish I'm not a fan of.....just because it's big and thick doesn't make it a good watch....but by seeing all the selling going on I think it will sell out....I prefer the original.... |

No matter what movement is put in an Invicta it is still assembled by the Invicta Chimps My COSC had to be taken in for repair for a inproperly seated winding stem I refuesed to send to Invictas non/CS dept. and Slop couldn't exchange it cause' there were no more in SS....and a refund would result in me losing the $185. credit I used towards purchase....another fine experience with Invicta and Slop |

Too big. Too heavy. Dial too busy and appears hard to read. Strap is like the ones that are on the new series - don't like them. Crown guard is not to my liking. Invicta logo too large and too prominent. Bezel odd and too complicated.  |

Oh c'mon guys...........are you trying to tell me that you don't think the new Invict Sub Standard is worth as much as a Breitling or Omega........obviously you are missing your daily dose of Big & Dumb face4.gifKool-Aid! And I cannot believe that you would even begin to question the integrity of JS, the premier con-artist of TV talk.......oh, sorry, that goes back to the Big & Dumb face4.gif Kool-Aid thing again! |

Are they using reject toy designers now? My 6 year old would think it was cool for about a minute. What kind of life experience do you have to have to come up with that kind of design, watching cartoons and playing video games. |

Hey what's wrong with watching cartoons and playing video games?? These are the problem(s):  "Nowhepnmd elega style in swiis mad mvid t" I was quoting him phonetically...  "This incorporates many of the key design elements I've invented over the last 1000 years..." |

Hey, I like it. If it I wait for 6 months it will be 299.00 on the bay.And I'll buy it to add to my subaqua collection of way to big watches. The largest watch I can wear is the Vixa at 48mm. anything larger with bracelet kinks around the wrist. |

I see zenith, beuchat crowns. not very original. Why a crown lock on a screw down crown? Why not just do a 43mm swiss diver chronograph with a 7750 movement? Some watches they do well, but cheese out on the bracelets. if they added screwed links and screwed lugs they would have a winner. |

At least I know where they got the "inspiration" for the bracelet. Got to say that the Zenith is one Fugly watch. Is the paint peeling from the hands?face4.gif |

Are you going to get another ocean? I cancelled on the lm1 because the lug holes are to close to the end. If it breaks, scratch one watch. I have seen them on every strap combo and there so far out on the end they look like a after thought. I may get the one offered this month with the bracelet, but no lm1. Nobody has posted up a negative post on the watches yet. Theres no timing info other than a comparison to some other low end eta's. I would like to know how accurate they really are, not just what Mitch says. Time yours and post the results. |

Sean... actually I passed on the LM1 myself, lugs being one issue, and went for an ORSA Lume Sea Angler instead. I have the LM-2 preordered (below) and will prob get the LM3 (see avatar) as well.  Apparently the LM1 owners are concerned about the lugs as well - most seem to be getting some 2.5mm springbars to make it more secure. Steve Last edited on Sun Feb 4th, 2007 03:20 pm by srh_pres |

I really like srh-prez avitar .... it will come equipped with the 200 movement I expect ....I noticed on the web-site that it says available in April and it might come with a 2824 OR a 200 movement ...big difference for me ....I have a 200 movement in a Zodiac diver I bought and it seems to be doing okay ( +5 or6 sec day) but it winds funny |

According to Mitch, it looks like the first production run of the LM-3 will have the 2824 in it. Future runs will probably be the SW200 due to availability issues of the ETA movements. Delivery may slip to May I believe... Last edited on Sun Feb 4th, 2007 06:16 pm by srh_pres |

Orders will be done thru the website only - setup an account, then get on waiting list for it (go to catalog, click on the LM series, LM-3, then click 'waiting list'). |

I admit it - I'm new here. So, "trade bait" - let me get this straight. You bought Invicta watches in order to trade them to "Invictaphiles" for real watches in trades? The depravity! The shear Machiavellian thought that goes into such an endeavour just boggles the mind!:shock: |

Most of us still have a secret stash of invictas, some are really rare. We just don't talk about them in the open. You have to be on oscars secret forum to find out. Go ahead and pm him...... really:dude: |
