I can hear it now. The "I told you so's" from Oscar, Ken, etc. I just received this really nice looking Invicta from Overstock.com (took nine days to get here via UPS - jeez they are slow) and it was DOA right out of the box. It ran for 5 seconds and stopped. I wound it up and it ran for about 10 seconds and stopped. Now it won't run at all. coyote2.gif FWIW, I also received a ladies Jacques Lemans to give as gift. It came from Amazon.com. DOA. Runs 6-8 hours slow. Most likely a bad battery, but it is going back too. I had a JL last year I thought was just a bad battery and I had to send it in three times before they replaced it. coyote2.gif Attachment: dud.jpg (Downloaded 64 times) |

Sorry to hear Mike...but any Invicta is a crap shoot these days and haven't heard much better from JL/SWI as well...it's how they are willing to handle the CS end now!I bought a Seiko from Overstock that was DOA and that ended my Overstock experience.. I have been very Happy with TT and his shows as I have yet to have one problem in 20 Watches so far!hand6.gif |

The Invicta is actually a pretty watch. But, I won't exchange it for another. Overstock is charging me shipping both ways and a restocking fee. I emailed them to complain, but I haven't heard back. Online, they don't give you an option for defective. So, you have to select another reason for sending it back. Overstock is much harder to deal with if you want to return something. I tried the watch again a few times and it runs for a few seconds and stops. Yeah, SWI has a lot of old stock out in the market place. Some of these watches are probably a year or two old sitting there with dead or dying batteries. |

As for the JL, they used to be a very good watch before Lior started to "Invictimize" the brand.As far as Overstock, send it back and challenge the charge on you card. They sent you defective merchandise. They cannot charge you shipping and restocking on that! |

>>>1st of all, the Invicta wasn't DOA.........it ran for a total of 15 seconds! How dare you malign Invicta like that! <<< Ya know, you're right. It did run for 30 seconds just a bit ago. I guess that's not bad. 30 seconds is a lifetime in Invicta terms. coyote2.gif |

Got to come to Overstocks defence.Ordered two Accutrons several Pragues and three Crotons that all were BNIB and absolutely happy with all my purchases.I just wish they would use Fedex or DHL instead of UPS.Of course never have ordered Invicta or JL`s. |

Overstock is, as the name suggests, Overstock. If, as a vendor you've got extras of something, they will buy it from you. Over the years though it has just become another selling platform; sometimes with good deals; other times not so. I'd just be fuming that they are charging you shipping EACH way and a restock fee.

FWIW, I received a Seiko Black Monster a year or so ago. It was defective. I sent it back a couple of times before they fixed. I also got a Croton for someone as a gift about six months ago. The crown was stripped out of the box. I couldn't screw it back in. I got an Invicta diver. It had a very stiff crown. Not stripped, but very hard to operate. Got rid of it too. Got another one and it works fine. I also got a Corum Romulus from Overstock. It is one of the nicest watches I own. Super high quality. So, I guess its a crap shoot. I do know that Overstock is having a lot of Ozone watches returned. They were selling them for $30 to $80. The last I saw they had them all down to $7.99 with free shipping. Now, those are truly crap. |
