Buying Invicta in a store?

[phantasm]

So I checked a few jewelry stores and they only sell Invicta online. I called Invicta and they gave me a number of a retailer in Orlando FL. I called the number it was some guys house who never heard of Invicta. Does anyone know of a retail shoppe you can buy these watches at? I won't buy online because I have small wrists and would like to see the watch first. Thanks.

the main problem with BM retailers trying to carry invicta watches is invicta has way too many models and the retailers can only carry few well slling models at time.

good luck finding a model your looking for..

Sorry about your troubles trying to find a invicta store, your best at this point, unfortuntley is a online retailer. I don't think Invicta will do a store front for some time. Although they can be purchased at my local JCpenny's

I have a few dealers where I live. Precision Time, a national chain, has a good variety if you are near a store. Tourneau carries them. TJ Max seems to have some grey market pieces.

Invicta's relationship with their authorized dealers is unconventional at best and ridiculous at worst. I have seen MSRP at 500usd for a 125usd watch at a brick and mortar dealer, and actually purchased from an online dealer (both official Invicta ADs) for the latter price. I'm assuming that the price was indeed "M"srp, so why the huge difference? Most manufactures are very parsimonious with their allowed discounts for a reason. Invicta seems not to care that they sabotage their B&M dealers by allowing the online ones to sell at below wholsale prices (or is the MSRP just absurd to comic proportions?).

I guess the bottom line is that the gap between MSRP and what you can actually buy them for, is so large that it damages the credibility of the B&M dealers and the manufacture.

It sounds mercenary, (but they've done it to themselves) try it on at the B&M place for 800usd and then pick it up for 79.99 online. Do throw the poor AD a bone or two though, with an inexpensive non-Invicta purchase from time to time.

Invicta is essentially an internet brand. I love the watches, the variety, the designs and the reliability and I have several of them and one more on the way this week... just don't buy retail.

One more thing. (sorry about the rant) The sponsors here have some of the best customer service that I've encountered. Many are very accomodating and have liberal exchange policies, so if you find one that you like, you can test drive it as long as you don't hurt it or change it in any way. The percieved inconvenience of buying sight unseen IMO is offset by the variety and price available online.

BJs wholesale and I think Costco both sell Invictas.

Thanks for the info guys. I measured my wrist at about 7" and 2.25" wide from Radius to Ulna. Not sure what size bezel I should be looking for but that's my concern, I don't want to get anything too big.

You bring up some really good point, I don't think Invicta cares if they sell watches to a brick and mortar AD, or if they sell them to some online AD. They just want to see watches...........regardless.
