I was comparing two of my watches today and surprised at the similarities even though one cost 65 times(yes that's right) more than the other.
Both are fine looking watches..keep accurate time...and are pure workhorses.
The first....

my Rolex 16610

the second....

my Invicta 5017 which cost all of $100 !
Dont be angry... its just an observation I will never sell my Rolex I absolutely love it..its just kind of funny that a watch costing $100 can look and perform so well.

Comments??? (sans abuse!)

The invicta looks more like a hybrid of sub and Fifty Fathom especially the bezel. I personally will never get an Invicta not because of its price as I own a few different low price watches that I like but just don't like how most of Invicta's watches seem to be homage of almost any luxury watch possible. I feel embarassed for them.

Well, let me firstly say, you're definitely not a watch snob

The Invictor is good bang for buck without a doubt. I can see a few influences from other brands poking out at me.

Would I stop and strike up a conversation with you about your Invictor, probably not......

But if I see that gorgeous familiar bezel/case/crown and bracelet on your wrist, well......I might just introduce myself
