For those into homage Invicta watches, this one is pretty cool.

FeelingTheBlues · 24 March 2012, 06:17 AM

Where's Adam!?

GradyPhilpott · 24 March 2012, 06:29 AM

I saw these on Amazon recently and I must admit that I was tempted, but my Invicta days are behind me.

You gotta love the text on the dial.

Ah, all those great designers Lalo has and with all the R bashing they do, they still resort to this

I wonder what the "certified design" is referring to?.. Rolex design maybe

Exactly what I was thinking.

But that's okay! People have their own opinions on homage watches, and we've got to respect that.

psv · 24 March 2012, 07:10 AM

What a waste of life spent imitating others.

GradyPhilpott · 24 March 2012, 07:20 AM

If they'd put one of those new Seiko movements in it and make the 24hr hand independent of the hour hand, I think they might really have something.

I've got nothing against homages.

If it hadn't been for my interest in lesser watches, I'd never been led to boards like this one where I learned what Rolex was really all about.

I've still got an Invicta 8926OB around here with a broken movement.

I might even get it fixed someday.

zak98 · 24 March 2012, 07:25 AM

invictas pro diver is the most popular version they offer.. of all 1200 or so "executions" basically their submariner date. so fine with me. i have a couple swiss movement invictas. imitation is is the sincerest form of flattery.. so, it is what it is. maybe this one will be as popular?

david_ord · 24 March 2012, 07:31 AM

Beautiful watch, and I'm sure its quartz movement keeps even better time than most Rolexes. However, it reminds me of the Hyundai Equus. Beautiful car, comparable to a Mercedes S-Class. However, just not the same.

JakeH · 24 March 2012, 07:36 AM

Date-Master GMT?! That's so weaksauce! I'm not knocking Invicta--they tick just fine, but jeez, don't be quite so overt about the imitation... And at least try to come up with an original name.

Once again, Adam, I can only agree with you!

If anybody likes a hommage watch I can't see anything wrong with that!

capote · 24 March 2012, 08:41 AM

Homage watches are BS.

They just get rid of the cyclop and certified that design.

MoBe · 24 March 2012, 09:02 AM

Too obvious,,,,,,,,,,,,for wannabees only.

How can you have any respect for such a blatant design ripoff?

dalip · 24 March 2012, 09:08 AM

I know that you know that I know... It begins and ends there.

drockadam · 24 March 2012, 09:55 AM

I am a "wannabee" because I don't have the money that you people have. One day I will get the real 16610. It'll just take time.

Take you time Adam, waiting is da shit.

skypilot · 24 March 2012, 11:19 AM

I liked and enjoyed my Sub so much I bought 3 homages, an Invicta, an Alpha and an MQJ and I consider them to be an honor to the 16610. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Rollie2011 · 24 March 2012, 01:51 PM

Yikes, what a rip off.

I have no respect for stuff like that

It took me a long time to get my DJ & I bought it pre owned. I'm now saving for a 16610 just like you pal. All good things come to those who wait. Get yourself a Tag Aquaracer to pacify you until the sub comes through. Tag makes great watches just don't pay retail for them..
