Just the plastic Speedmaster ... I think that's about it. Oh, we have a Seiko sub-forum now.

  • You still can’t buy a SS Rolex.
  • Tudor is slowly morphing into Rolex (I was put on a 3-month waitlist for a BB GMT, for example).
  • Omega is moving upwards in terms of quality/price; in house movements and better build quality with higher MSRP and reduced discounts.
  • Hublot watches still miraculously exist.

ahem - yawn yesterday by a buddy

Hey- at least they are trying something …interesting. More than I can say for adding a 0 and a green GMT hand and expecting applause.

I think those Invictas are upside down. The crown is on the wrong side.

Could be wrong as it's hard to see which is the crown.

(Hope we don't lose the OP for another 4 years after that pic.)

You gotta love Invicta marketing… those monstrosities must be like $1,200 a pop at MSRP, but then following a 80% discount, make it yours for only $240!!

I am still waiting for all these deadbeat OFers to tell me how much my gramp’s watch is worth.

Your gramps sure had a nifty black dial submariner.

Off topic, but those pictures remind me of a listing I saw recently. Rumor has it this is an Omega. Here's the best pic of the watch:



The lot got multiple bids and ended over 400 USD 😲 Congrats to the buyer, I guess...

Omega has celebrated a few 50ths. Something to do with the moon.

So if I’ve got this correct, if I buy two Invicta watches for $500 I get a free dive case with cleaning kit, a free puzzle, plus four extra watches for free? Even these marketing ploys can’t cover up how horrible they look.

I'm still tempted to buy one and rock it at the next GTG just to see the reactions!

Is the Rolex puzzle “Guess how many days it will be before you can purchase a simple stainless steel sports watch at MSRP - all guesses need to be at least four figure numbers”?

Latest news flash, Invicta shops empty, no watches on the shelves as huge demand overwhelms supply. Prices skyrocket. Puzzle makers are puzzled as to the demand spike.
Trailer parks empty as cruise ship report no more spaces available.
