the3dgm,
I am glad to see more members have positive experience with their collection.
I got into purchasing Invictas because of the unique designs and cost efficient price (something I can afford), I specifically joined this forum because of the Invicta presence. As I scroll through many forums and different websites, I do see a large number of people who look down on this brand because it does not fall under "their" definition of a "good" watch. However I am learning very quickly that even in the watch world some individuals maintain an elitist attitude, if you did not spend a ton of money on a single watch with that "Brand name" they like, then your watch is crap in comparison. Does the simple fact that after a few weeks one watch tells a diff time by a few seconds than another watch, does this make it "not a watch"? If we were to truly compare apples to apples, we would find that even putting same models next to each other would yield a time difference after an extended length of time. At what point are we going to accept that different people like different things, and that IS ok? I thought that is part of why we all enjoy this hobby and or collection, is to enjoy and appreciate the different styles and types of watches we can find and obtain and also appreciate what others like as well.
I know everyone has an opinion, and thank you for reading mine, LOL, I would be more than happy to hear yours as well, as this is why we all joined the forums to begin with, IS to hear from others, and show others what we have, and bounce ideas and interests off of each other, and to communicate the good, the bad, and the normal.
