For what they did change, seems to be a reasonable price. Not bad looking at all.

This seems well done, fair price for a SW-200.

Fair prices on their few Steinhart offerings.

Bookmarked them.

Those are the nicest Invicta watches I've seen in 10 years. However, my feelings are the same about this as they are about Glycine: If Eyal Lalo makes .0000000000001 of a penny from it, I wouldn't touch it with your d***.

Thanks for introducing Random Rob, too. Seems like a level headed guy, no comdy, no nonsense, just nuts-and-bolt stuff. For YouTube, it's pretty refreshing.

I bought the 1953 early last year right before the pandemic hit. I still have to do a good review on it, but it's probably the best offering that they've done in a very long time.

Had the Panamanian Parvenu stayed along these lines, sans the 63mm clown watches, then the brand might be taken more seriously. In fact, I recently had an argument with a Facebook fan boi who's sole contention that Invicta is a serious brand is because they sell a lot.

Ahh, Facebook - where people insisted Invicta was the #1 brand worldwide because "Lalo has his own plane."

T, You are not going to believe this but the idiot I was arguing with said the exact same thing except he mentioned the yacht instead of the plane!

Oh, I believe it. You don't need to twist my arm on THAT one. 8)
