Just arrived. An older, used Invicta Swiss quartz, slightly smaller then the one I recently purchased new. It's a little dinged up (adds character) but the face has fewer shiny appointments and that's fine with me. Good price too. I think that I won't be wearing the new one.
Lige and the like are cheap Chinese watches (Rolex knock offs) - some made better than others and go as low as 3 bucks. You can get Lige and a ton off other branded and unbranded watches from AliExpress. I'd get one but I don't like those big ass watches nowadays - some look like those Flavor Flav used to wear around his neck.
My problem with those cheap Chinese watches is that the ones that look like my Rolex watches are all quartz.. I prefer automatic/ perpetual movements...
You are entitled to buy what you like . I'm happy with my purchase knowing I was not buying a Rolex but a cheap watch. 42mm is not a big watch unless you have an awful tiny wrist.
Hmmm 35 bucks vs 3500. I didnt expect much for what I paid . Who would blow that much for something that does the same simple function. It tells you the time .
I wasn't saying anything negative , I just like automatics.. And.. in reply to what you said Well I have a few divers , a couple semi dress and a couple dress Rolex.. Plus a few Tag watches and a few Omegas and a few Breitling so... I guess I would !! My dad and I used to collect watches together as a hobby......I wear an Amazfit Bip mostly though right now..
Korea is a small country so I usually take a couple of international trips a year. Due to Covid, no trips for more than 15 months but on the bright side I saved a lot of money. Finally pulled the trigger on a day-date model, Tudor Prince Day Date. It has a retro feel given the style and size, but I think the size still works.
I think everybody does. There's been times I've considered cracking open my Invictas and removing the second hand entirely, just to fool myself into thinking it's an automatic. Stupid idea and I would just irreparably screw something up (though I can happily live without a second hand on any quartz watch).
Invicta has some nice automatics. I have one that if I find a couple more like it I'm getting one for my dad and for my sons too...
OOOH Candy !! I WANT One !!!! the watch is nice too... But seriously I am looking at getting a Hamilton Khaki King Automatic soon....
Thanks. The candy belongs to my Bride, but I sneak a handful or two after she goes to bed. I highly recommend the Hamilton. This one was a surprise gift from a dear friend, so it is a keeper. It wears comfortably, is easy to read, looks great, has solid lume, a display case back, and the movement has an 80-hour power reserve. Even the factory strap is well-made, and it has an engraved Hamilton strap buckle. It doesn't have a screw-down crown (wish it did), so you can quickly give it a few winds as you strap it on. It is just about the perfect everyday watch. I can't wait to see your Hamilton and candy bowl wrist shot.
The Invicta 8926 is worth a look. You can pick one up with a Seiko auto movement for less than $80. Very, very nice. I've been tempted lately by an Orient Mako II. Everyone needs a watch with a killer blue dial.
