invicta

hmm, bright yellow box... wonder whats in it??

another yellow box!

its a WATCH!

yes my friends, this is my new daily "beater" watch. Its an Invicta 8926c. It is a clone of the Rolex Submariner. I didnt want an actual fake rolex since i dont accept fake things anymore. This watch is more of an "homage" to the real thing... kind of a placeholder until I get the real thing because the real rolex submariner is the top of my list of watches to get. this one is a really good quality but still decently priced watch. It features an automatic movement inside which means no batteries, it winds with the movement of your wrist. The band on it is really high quality and there are stories on the internet watch message boards of people using links from this band as replacement links for their real rolexes.

compared to the omega seamaster (my weekend "classy/pricy" watch):

I decided to put it on the James Bond style strap (as seen on Sean Connerys Rolex Submariner in all of his movies as James Bond) as a tribute to my love of 007 and also the fact that I wil lbe wearing this at work in a warehouse...
