This gorgeous watch is being sold at Costco in Korea at a price of $750 in 2024, which is half of the original launch price . It's the cheapest price in the world, though.
I bought one watch on ebay. The watch was fake..very ugly. I complained to ebay. Ebay is shit and crap too. They dont really care...and make it hard to complaint.
Invicta dose make smaller conservative styles. It is part of their slim line and classic line. They have something for everyone. I own one, and i like it. It looks like the bolava, breitling surfboard. For the most part, im a seiko fan boy.
I don’t agree because the same size watch wears differently with certain brands. I could include 46 or 48mm, but they don’t work for me regardless of the brand or model. 44 is as big as it goes for me. 34 wasn’t a consideration, which is why this was a pleasant surprise.
I just can't get behind Invicta I feel like they are trying way to hard to be different. Instead of being innovative. Big watches appeal to a small market and limits their consumer base.
@@whatsonthewrist it only seems that way because their loyal customer base buy more than one watch on a regular basis, if 10 Seiko buyers buy 10 seikos, and 10 Invicta buyers buy 20 invictas it's going to look like they have more customers. I can understand your point as well.
it is not a fake seagull ... it is either a seagull movement that is made in tianjin (original seagull movement company) or made in one of its accredited watch factories ...
Really nice find Rich. I’ve never really considered a 34 mm case size… I have a fairly small wrist so I may give this one a shot. I tend to like 40 mm as my sweet spot. Keep up the good work. KDP
I'm a little insulted as I didn't get a note. lol I bought the Navy-Black version and I'm very happy with it. Quality seems good and Fit-Finish is good.
Whether or not I'm a fan lf the car that inspired it, I can easily appreciate the design features that relate to this and the era of car design it refers to. I can really get behind the concept and the execution. What lets it down is the size and price. While I appreciate what looks big will differ per person. To me the watch looks huge on you on the picture you showed. Not strange, because it's defintily an oversized watch. That kind of fits with the concept too, but it means I thankfully dont have to pause on the price to see if i'd really want one someday. At this size it's an immediate pass. Perhaps making it a dainty 36 would not suit, nut I'd be curious about pulling off a 40mm. That would also likely appeal to a wider audience in general.
They’re both timeless, but the Diastar is one of the most recognizable models even from across the room. That’s not an answer to your investment question, it’s more of what could be in demand.
@@whatsonthewrist Like most people, I've worn jeans all my life. It's just now, however, that I'm discovering selvedge denim--and Japanese Americana in particular. It's also telling that I'm considering a second Japanese watch.
Minase is also outstanding albeit on the more expensive side. KUOE represents a strong value. ONI Japanese jeans are pretty awesome and one of my favorite brand/jeans
@@whatsonthewrist I hadn't heard of Minase before, but they're definitely out of my price range. And I'm looking for a traditional dress watch. The Kuoe Royal Smith 90-006 is the one that has caught my attention. I've heard of Oni, but I only have a pair of Unbranded UB201 right now. I'm hunting around for a pair of black, sanforized, non-stretch selvedge. I want a somewhat slim straight cut and something mid-weight. Feel free to let me know if you come across anything that would fit this bill.
People hate out of jealousy or envy or the need to because it makes them feel good, Invicta is a good brand and I have 200 and I feel good when I look at them. Isn't that what artists want you to feel when you see their work
I researched this watch before purchasing it for myself and when it came I loved it. The crown is so unique! But, it was so beautiful I gave it to my wife instead of keeping if for myself. It was too delicate for my wardrobe. Now I appreciate it's beauty on her wrist while at dinner. I think it's a win/win.
These are quite nice, and I was surprised to see how affordable they are, considering they're mostly handcrafted, certainly assembled with great diligence.
I like it a lot. It's great for anyone with small wrists but I prefer it on leather. I wish you had the leather straps to show but they look good on the kuoe website. This has leaped its way onto my short list. Great review and love the dial.
