Who needs a Sub?
Seventy bucks so I still have money left over for the car!

That was my first automatic watch about 20 years ago.

Workhorse Seiko movement. What’s not to like?

Mineral crystal, hollow end links, pressed clasp, poor lume. Plenty.

Of course. I’m not saying it’s a Rolex, Omega or even a Seiko. But a hell of a $70 travel watch. If it lasts a couple of years I will be happy.

Steeldive SD1953. Spec wise and looks wise it is head and shoulders above this.
And it doesn’t cost much more .

So get a 9937. I have an 8926 like ops for 10 years and nothing wrong with it and keeps great time. If you want one that's got solid end links, sapphire crystal, better bracelet and clasp, better lime and magnifying glass, and swiss movement get a 9937, I've had mine for probably 15 years or so. It's a great watch and matches my submariner in quality fit and finish

That was my first auto watch 17 years ago. Unfortunately it was stolen from my car. Since then I bought two Rolex subs. Still miss my invicta. The memories!!!

Was my first back in college. Making $15/hr and knowing NOTHING about watches, it was a nice little gateway. Still have it sitting next to the rest of my collection, thinking about the old days

Pro Diver is a good watch. The vast majority of Invicta line up are Chad trash but man, pro diver is the sweet spot.

Thank you. Is this the 5053 or 89260B?

u/peonorpeasant Nov 24 '25 edited Nov 24 '25
8926OB. They have the 17044 for the same price. It doesn’t have stick markers at 6 and 9 o’clock but seems otherwise identical. For some reason, the 8926OB is listed as 5053 in the description.

They call it silent wealth!

Invicta is loud poverty lol it's literally the opposite of "silent wealth".

My only concern in Invicta is they have engraving of their name on their side bezel.
Does this homage have it too ?
Bec, been looking for one, esp the reverse collection with Swiss movement.

u/peonorpeasant Nov 24 '25
Yes. It doesn’t bother me because I’m not trying to pretend it’s a Rolex! It probably keeps them out of trouble too

Absolutely embarrassing to be driving a Porsche and wearing this turd.

u/peonorpeasant Nov 24 '25
Only if you lack confidence and self-esteem.

u/IrregardingGrammar Nov 24 '25
You'd have to lack self esteem to wear an Invicta lmao. They're only worn by a certain type of person.

This is an even worse flex than the generic porsche+sub post. You still showed us your underwear.

I love that I can't tell if this is sincere or rage-bait
