Yes, I posted this watch earlier. But, I finally sized it and put it on last night. I still maintain that this is quite a watch for what you can buy it for at Overstock with a 10% coupon. The case is quite impressive. At 42mm x 12mm it is solid and heavy. The solid end links on the bracelet add to the solid feel of this watch. The bracelet is huge too. It would easliy fit a 9 inch wrist. I normally take 3 links out of Invicta bracelets. This one needed four removed. And, it is a different design than the standard dive bracelet. Very nice for a watch at this price. The exhibition back is beefed up and the window is a tad bit smaller. The movement appears to have a brushed finish but otherwise it is pretty plain. No stupid cross-bar gizzmo like the Abyss models had. The bezel on mine works easily if you have dry fingers. I have moved it several times to loosen it up. There is a knack for getting these bezels to rotate vs. the coin-edge. The Crown is the one problem with this watch (for me). It is too small and hard to access. I can do it, it is just a pain. The design protects the crown to a fault. There isn't much lumn on the hands or dial. What is there does glow nicely for a reasonable amount of time. But, they should have put more on the dial or none at all. The bracelet clasp is the same type that is used on my Swiss Movement 9937. So, that is a nice upgrade for a watch selling currently for sub $100 prices. All-in-all, it feels more like a $300 to $400 on my wrist than the other Invicta Miyota divers I have owned. One other thing, If I knew how to do it, I ditch the date bubble. It actually works, but it is too small (IMHO). Attachment: gray.jpg (Downloaded 58 times)

That dial color is very sharp. I like it! Looks like a great watch for the price. Dan:)
