ALBA< ALBA< ALBA!

I love the look of those, and you won't have anyone mixing it up w/ another brand! I've heard they're rock solid also.

Always fun making these choices, eh? toon1.gif

I vote for the Alba.  The other one is a SUB clone, and while its cool for a while, it gets tired over time.

Thanks for the input guys.


If found one more option for me . . . what say the group about Invicta?

I think you will still be happier with the Alba...  Invicta has some quality control and customer service issues that haunt them... :shock:

My vote goes for the Alba as well. Nice looking timepiece. Haven't heard any complaints about them.

Don't have a clue about the sub clone so I reject it outright.

The Alba is a sporty Seiko and that is righteous in and of itself...

I like the Grand Diver with the green bezel although I might sing a different tune if that dial is MOP. I would say Invicta can put togehter a solid Miyota powered watch in this price range but I still feel Invicta = crapshoot...

Seiko/Alba = Quality and good looks and performance.

GRAB THE ALBA!!!
