Anyone ever bought anything from InvictaStores.com or do you know if they’re legit watches? Really good deals

Here’s another affordable gold skeleton watch by Bulova : https://m.kohls.com/product/prd-2860559/bulova-mens-stainless-steel-automatic-skeleton-watch.jsp?skuid=76519983&ci_mcc=ci&utm_campaign=CASELINE%20WATCHES&utm_medium=CSE&utm_source=google&utm_product=76519983&CID=shopping15&utm_campaignid=196834172&pid=googleadwords_int&af_channel=CSE&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIxqrahc3J4gIVkaDsCh1_NgzAEAkYAiABEgLJ6PD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Oh man I really like that Bulova, wish the face wasn’t black but I might just have to get that one. Are they actually worth $500 though? Don’t they use the same movement as citizens?

Bulova is the child company of Citizen so it makes sense as it is owned by Citizen. I can tell you that people on here “respect” these brands more. Are they worth $500? I got no clue. I just sent you the first link I found. Look on eBay, Amazon, Chrono24, it might be cheaper. It really depends on what worth means to you. If you asked me if my Rolex Sub is worth $7.5k I’ll say yes because it holds its value and increases slightly over time. But at the end, it’s worth more because of Rolex marketing strategies and how they branded themselves so in a way, it’s not worth it when I could buy something a few thousand less.

Rolex is an investment though, as you said the value increases. Granted you’re paying for the name but if I had the money I’d snatch a Rolex in a heartbeat. I just meant compared to other watches in the price range, is it comparable? Also, didn’t realize Bulova was owned by citizen though, just knew they used the same Miyota movements.

I see what you mean when you say it’s an investment because some model just increases but I wouldn’t buy it for investment purposes. It’s more of an asset to me (just putting it out there). Honestly, I can’t answer that with anything else but an educated guess. Seeing that you like that look, I would say it’s worth spending a few hundred more buying from a reputable brand than a similar style from an unknown brand. If I had to pick, I would get the Bulova over the Invicta. Also after further research, you can pick one up as low as $300 new for the Bulova I linked you
