solowgregg, I Got Back Into Watches

[Volusianator]

Gregg, just thought I'd stop by here and touch base, I kinda got back into watches here recently, we had some good conversations a couple years back and just thought I'd keep in touch. I got hooked on Invicta a while back. Here's what I've added in the last six months:

Casio Edifice: This is the one that got me back into wristwatches

Invicta Reserve Venom Viper: This is one beast of a watch, just under a half pound

Invicta Pro Diver 6984: I'm a packer fan, what can I say, I like the green!

Invicta Reserve Subaqua Leather: LOVE this one.

And this one should land on my doorstep tomorrow. Orange & black were my high school colors, guess I'm just trying to regain my youth!

Haha you know I love my watches! I'm really diggin those last two invictas (hell, I might have to pick that last one up) and if I'm not mistaken you've been looking at the Casio for quite a while haven't you?

I bought that Casio quite a while ago, it's the one that got me back into watches. But I'll never buy one of theirs again, the black started wearing off the band. I called in, it's not a functional defect so it's not covered, but the agent I spoke with said she's never heard of that happening before. So I asked, "if it's never happened, isn't it safe to say this shouldn't happen and be covered"? Reply, "no, its not a functional defect"...


I'm hooked on Invicta right now, love the weight of them, that orange one is soooo comfy.

That Casio is very nice looking. I might have to look for one of those. That Invicta Venom is amazing. I bought 3 Invicta watches this year and hope to get a couple more for Christmas. I think the Venom is on my wish list now. Some of the newer models are pretty cool if you have been keeping an eye on them.

Oh yeah, like the new yellow Sea Hunter!

A watch to me is the single most piece of jewelry a man can wear that stands out and expresses who you are. I have a good collection myself.
You should read the link I just put up about my son's new watch he got over the weekend...A real comeback I guess.

big fan of the Casio’s look. but since you said the customer service is garbage, probably wont order from them again. I loved the Casio G-shocks growing up, those things were bullet proof!

Get that invicta yet?

 

[Volusianator]

All the ones in my original post I've already gotten. I ordered a Swiss Legend, got that in last week and ordered the Invicta 6994 from ShopNBC today, very cool watch, very cool price!

Get that invicta yet?

 

[Volusianator]

Gregg, this should be on my doorstep on Monday morning!

 

[Volusianator]

Hmmmm, actually it came in early!

My two latest additions to my Invicta collection:

Model 1195 Special Ops Siberian Tiger, 899/5000

Model 6177 Reserve Collection GMT:

Agreed. Most if these Invictas don't appeal to me. I tend to lean more toward Tissot, Luminox, or even a nice Citizen Eco-drive is $$$ is short.

 

[solowgregg]

Those are simply bad ass!!!

Very nice.

Loving that Edifice! Watched a little review on it just now, and I must say that thing is a modern marvel of a watch! And the green and gold is a great color combo on watches just as well as it is on the jerseys. Go Pack Go!!! (My dad from WI and owns 2 shares of GBP stock and I am a die hard Packer fan)

 

[Volusianator]

That's cool, that's why they make different models, same as cigars!

I love that one as well, but the bands color is wearing off at a quick pace. I called customer service and they said it was not covered under warranty as it was not a function issue. I asked if she'd had many complaints of this issue and she said she's never heard of it happening. I then asked, "if you've never heard of this happening, wouldn't you think this was a defect and should be covered"? Reply:, "I do see it as a defect, but it doesn't effect functionality so it's not covered." That will be my last Casio.
