    Default My 4 new babies!



    So all 4 of my watches including the Link remover came in all at the same day today and I bought them on different days! Can you believe that? There was a little bit of disappointment though. And here I'll explain.

    So What I opened first was my Invicta 5249. Wow! I thought, the box was very classy and the watch was quite heavy and big. It's a monster for the pricing. There was a small defect, and that's the lining of the bezel doesn't match up with the dial. But I guess that's the price I paid for, I need to find a way to fix it now if I don't want to return it.











    Now next, I opened two more boxes and saw it was another Invicta box that didn't look like the last one. Now this one costed me 300 yet it was smaller than my Invicta 5249's box. I thought "How strange". Well Here goes my Invicta 9937OB and my Seiko SNZE97K1.




    What next? The pillow and the material inside the box was much lower in quality. It also didn't come with the microfiber cloth.










    I found out that the Seiko warranty card comes in cardboard, and the back was empty. Is this how Seiko warranty cards are supposed to be? Or did I get tricked!?




    Next I realized something, My Invicta 9937OB not only didn't come with no high-quality box. It was the most expensive one! It didn't come with a warranty card! OH NO!



    With some things still going on my head, I decided to cool down by opening my Bulova box. My beloved Bulova Marine Master. EDIT: lol, I don't know where I got the master from, but it's Marine Star. not Master. The 98C62.




    The first thing I realized was the links feel very flimsy and the watch was much lighter than expected. Don't mind the lightness of the watch, but the links feel like it could be much better.



    This was all I found in the box, Bulova watches doesn't come with a warranty card right?



    Well, this is all I have so far for you guys! I am feeling uncertainty on some of my watches, I really love both the automatics but one didn't come with a warranty card =/ but both of the quartz, I don't know about.

    So for the conclusion is I am very happy with my Seiko and happy with my Invicta, and a disappoint with the box and no warranty card. Now I bought both Invicta's and the Bulova from America's largest online retailer that opened up as a book store at first. No warranty card? Did they box my Invicta 9937OB wrong?

    EDIT: Here's some videos I've uploaded of my new Automatic babies.

    I don't know anything about Invicta's warranty card or packing, but I'm sure another member will be along shortly to help you with that. The Seiko card is not filled out because you most likely bought it from a non-authorized dealer. Your warranty is through the dealer, not Seiko so the card is not stamped or dated. That Bulova manual includes the warranty, doesn't it? If not, then the warranty card is absent for the same reason the Seiko card is not filled out.
    Can you help me fix my watch?..Where does this: go inside this?: I guess that's what I get for buying it on eBay!!!

    Aaah, no wonder, I bought all 3 from an authorized dealer except for the Seiko.

    Hmm the Bulova manual doesn't seeem to be stamped and the website says that all Bulova watches bought from them come with 1 year of warranty. Time to do some emailing.

    Also my Invicta 5249 card is also empty. Are you suppose to write the date and model on there yourself? Because I it says that it comes with 1 year warranty and I can upgrade to the 5 years warranty for free since I bought it from that website.

    Saw some red xs.

    Please check the warranty book in the back of the Invicta Watch Box for your plastic card.

    Congrats on your new watches.

    and Rawr! I've heard Invicta doesn't email back. I am better off calling them tomorrow =/

    I am truly very sorry to hear that the warranty card for the "Invicta Men's Pro Diver Collection Coin-Edge Swiss Automatic Watch #9937OB" you ordered is missing and I do understand your frustration in this regard.

    In this case, I kindly request you to contact the manufacturer first.

    Please note the manufacturer can send the warranty card to you.

    You can usually find contact information listed in the product manual that came with the item.

    For your convenience, I have included contact information below:

    Phone: 1-954-921-2444
    E-mail: repairs@invictawatch.com & sales@invictawatch.com
    Web Site: http://www.invictawatch.com
    Address: Invicta Watch Group, 3069 Taft Street, Hollywood, FL 33021
    Fax: 1-954-921-2444

    You may want to have the following information handy: the model number, serial number, and part numbers.

    Note: If the manufacturer cannot resolve this issue, please use the direct link below to e- mail our appropriate department and select a subject for your e-mail as "Other questions & comments" So we can investigate further:

    You don't need the invicta warranty card to get the warranty, you register the warranty online, with the yellow book, there should be a warranty number, you simply do it online, takes about 3 minutes.

    Hope that helps. And I also was looking at lots and lots and lots of little red X's
    Breitling Super Ocean,Invicta 3913, Invicta 7001, Invicta 7106, Invicta 3044, Invicta 9210, Invcita 0479, Seiko B.A.R. Honda Limited Edition

    Thanks you guys, that's good to hear. And don't you need the warranty card when you send it in to them to have it repaired?

    I uploaded some new videos by the way =)
