You're not gonna get anyone to tell you a Pro Diver was a bad buy unless you paid full "retail value". Buy all the Invictas you desire, just don't look for affirmation from me... and I speak for only myself. You're hoping we'll hammer you so you can report back on what a bunch a a-holes we are. Well I am most certainly a 3T a-hole and damn proud of it. Enough games... I call you out. BTW, appropriating this post's content without credit for your own post on another forum is just plain goofy. I guess it is really all in the "Eye Of The Beholder". |

If you choose to bash or not is really you right. I have no need to report to this or any other forum about anything a individual says. Invicta watches are not the only brands that I collect. I have posted on more than one forum in regards to more than Invicta watches. I suspect that you think that I am on some covert mission or something however feel free to visit as many forums as you desire. You will note that I use the same user name and will state my feelings just the same as you. I have had some badly made Invicta watches in the past and will be the first to complain about them. But thank you for commenting on my post in the other forum. I appreciate that you did read it. And I hope that you have read my other post in other forums as well. I really learn alot when visiting and joining in conversation about watches not just Invicta's. I love my Bulova's, Citizens, and my Movado Museum, equally as much as my Invicta's and my Renato's. I am sorry that you think that this is a fishing expedition, it is not. However I do thank you for at least responding to my questions candidly. By the way I do really like the layout of your forum. and the OUTSTANDING pics your member's take. All the best. |

Actually I thought that I would simply make a neutral statement about your reply but the more I thought about the more disturbed I become. Why would you think that I am spying on this forum? That's just plain silly. I wrote a statement because I am passionate about watch collecting. But at the time I was new to collecting and it really sucks to do something that you have found a new love for and don't have alot of experience at it only to have people totally make you feel like you have done something wrong. Think about it you spend what you think is a tidy sum on something and then to have someone tell you it's junk come on man how would you feel? what would you think? I have only made what 7-8 post on this site and then you try to clown me? Now I think you should call your own self out kind sir. I have nothing to hide. |

Thank you very much. I am sorry that in the short time that I have been a member of this forum that things are going like this. I do apologies if any of my statements offended any who read them. It is not my intent. My hope is that I can be turned on to other brands that appeals to me and hopefully learn a thing or to in the process. Thanks again for your kind reply. |
