Hi everyone. I'm new to this forum and to watches in general. I just purchased a new Grand Diver Pro from Invicta. I must say, I've heard some negative things about the watch but I've been pretty satisfied. I set the time along side with my seiko and it's been keeping time pretty darn accurate. I would say that the seconds might have sped up a few seconds over the past two days. Other than that I haven't found any extreme flaws with the watch. I got the two tone with blue dial and bezel. When I get a chance to sneak my wife's camara away from her I'll post a picture.

@soflcopper, What were the negative comments you have heard about the Grand Diver? I have one and it's a great watch!

I've heard of time keeping problems, the gold on the band wearing out, bad customer service, etc. I'll tell you, so far I love this watch. It's very stunning and is definitely a conversation starter. I wish I could wear it all the time! :biggrin: I actually feel like purchasing a couple of the other styles of the Grand Diver so that I could have a few choices. Only problem is that my wife would kill me. She doesn't even know that I have two new watches on the way :001_unsure:, hopefully her Chrismas gifts will keep her off my backside for a while. In case I don't post up again till after tomarrow, Merry Christmas everyone and please stay safe out there. Kevin

Hey Kevin,
The Grand Diver with the silver dial and blue bezel is the one I used to have. One of the things that bugs me about many watch manufactures including Invicta is the fact that quite often they do not have enough contrast between the dial and the hand colors. I have seen watches that have white dials and white hands. I think it's ridiculous but the Grand Diver I used to have (my co-worker begged me to sell it to him) the hands jumped off of the dial. It is a great looking watch. As far as problems with accurate time keeping goes I never had any. I had mine regulated by a watchmaker because it was gaining 16 seconds per day. he got it down to 1 second every 3 to 4 days. Anyway I just thought I would pass that along.

Thanks for the reply Falcon. I'm very pleased with my purchase and I will definetly buy Invicta again. I feel that it might be an underated company.
