No offense taken, Timex. I have read about the negatives of Invicta, but I am a fan of low priced automatic watches, and if I destroy one while modifying, no big deal. I currently have Invicta 9110, 9937, 3044, 3048. I also have Orient Blue Ray and Orient Beast.
I have modified the GD 3044 by polishing the band to a mirror finish with a Dremel and some buffing compound. All other watches are stock. I don't intend on EVER sending one to Invicta for repair, I'll attempt it myself then use it for spare parts if I mess it up.
The only Invictas I like are the pro diver series, especially the Grand Divers. Seiko movt, high quality bands, decent water resisitance, decent lume. What more could you ask for in a $120 watch? IMHO if they came with Sellita movements they would be even better- I like the higher beat count and smoother travel of the second hands.
Thanks for the welcome!!!
