I have a Tag Heuer Sea Racer, Rolex white face Daytona, and Doxa Sub 600T. I use the Doxa for diving along with my Citizen Hyper Aqualand NX (my only digital watch other than my Garmin Fenix which I use for hiking, cycling, running, swimming, etc).

You might notice Invicta uses a hodge podge of movements and parts. It’s whatever is the cheapest at the time they make a particular model. They might use Miyota movements if they get a good deal on them. Also they use Asian made “Swiss” parts. There simply is no consistency at all. They cobble together watches from the cheapest sources they can find and that’s why they are so hit and miss. Aside from that, they are copycats and not much better than some fakes out there... Look at some of their dive watches. They are direct copies of Rolex and other well known brands. Do they have an original idea? Nope.

In the mid '80s I bought one of the first good fakes of the Rolex Oyster President day/date; an exact clone except it didn't have a swept second hand (was stepped, and a battery operated movement).
It was a little too gold toned though (the pic is of the real thing). I sold it - as a knockoff - about 20 years later for the $150'ish I originally bought it for. |

What I believe he meant was that your watch is a nice watch. And he was saying that the Invicta watches are crap, which has basically been pointed out repeatedly in this thread. In other words, I'm pretty sure he was pointing out the disparity of the two, and in your watch's favor. Welcome to the Vette Barn! |
