InvictaMen's 8927 Pro Diver Collection Automatic Watch

Most buyers will know that this watch mimics the Rolex Sumbariner and is widely known as a ''hommage'' piece.While others may buy it just because of its classic looks.This watch is not a rolex, but it's not a folex either. Its construction is solid and movement has worked fine for me.While I did have a defective crown on the first one I received, it was replaced promptly thanks to Amazon's excellent customer service. I do think the crown is a minor weak spot on the piece, it doesn't feel very solid, be careful not to pull it out too hard.The open caseback for you to view the automatic movement is cool and although any watch connoisseur will not be impressed by this, most of your non-watch-buff friends will think its a cool feature to check out.Time will tell as to how the gold plating wears and if it fades and rubs off - hopefully not. I haven't seen others complain of it so I'm assuming I will be okay. I had an ESQ watch once and the gold plating rubbed off quite easily.Anyways, it doesn't have sapphire crystal, isn't a swiss movement and does have the ''Invicta'' stamp on the side of the piece which I personally could go without. However, it isn't bad in the sense that at least when I wear it because it says invicta in so many places I don't feel like I'm trying to say it's a Rolex. That's what held me off of buying this watch for years, always telling myself I'd buy the real thing and unfortunatley as the years go on, it's not appropriate for me to buy a rolex. As such, I broke down and picked up this Invicta as an excellent value piece. At least now I do have the submariner style I love in my collection.Unlike most other Invicta's which I do have a few, this is a smaller sized watch, more comparable to the size of the actual Rolex Submariner although a little small for my tastes. I also have a 'pro diver'' and another model submariner style made by Invicta and those pieces are much bigger which I appreciate. Most people will be satisfied with this watches size.Overall, for the money, this is a great watch and one that most people will think cost hundreds more at the low end, some will think its a Rolex though not that people that actually know what a Rolex is!I recommend it entirely, don't hesitate to buy it, plus you know Amazon has a great return policy, you can't go wrong here - Enjoy!

Obviously, you are looking for a watch either as a present or for yourself. I did some research on watches a few months ago when I bought this one. Invicta provided very high quality at an exceptionally reasonable price (I bought mine at sub-$100 but I would pay more for this watch now that I know more about it). Now, that I have owned this watch for almost four months, I am writing a review of it. If you don't want to read this, just buy the watch. It is what you are looking for at anything near this price point.The Good:-Great Price - This is an absolute steal at less than $100. It has the looks of a watch that is at least five to ten times as expensive.-Automatic Movement - This means the watch does not use batteries. It charges itself by the natural motion you engage in while you are wearing it (you can also manually wind it).-It does an exceptional Rolex imitation while having excellent independent quality backing it up. Looking up the Rolex Submariner if you doubt the looks.-It has a dive counter - I thought I broke my watch by knocking the face out of alignment but the reality is you can turn the numbers around the face counter-clockwise to set a counter of sorts (it does not move as time passes - feel free to read up on this via the internet).-The size of the case and band are excellent and I have a slim frame.-The watch hands glow in the dark. They could be a bit brighter but the effect is visible.The Bad:-It is heavy if you are not a fan of weight.-I have found it to be a tad flashy if I am wearing short sleeves, however that might be why you like the watch.-Setting the date is difficult at first as it is unintuitive (and I had to look it up). The crown of the watch has multiple steps where the middle one is very difficult to catch and you can only turn it one direction. Once you get the hang of it, it is easy though.-I spent about $15-20 resizing the band as it was much to big when I received it. This brought my grand total up to $105 or so. Still a steal. Just be aware this is something that will need to happen to wear it (or you might be able to do it yourself).-The storage time of the watch is about 35 hours so it will stop if you don't wear it for that amount of time.The Ugly:-Nothing has gone terribly wrong. The watch will naturally pick up small nicks on the casing. These are not noticeable unless you are very close to the watch. You will also have to wipe off the face every so often (I am low tech and simply breathe on it and then wipe it off with a soft cloth or piece of clothing - yes, this is terrible from an etiquette perspective).Overall, I love this watch for its price, elegance, and quality. It is a fantastic deal for a classy watch if you do not want to spend hundreds, if not thousands, on a good watch. Be aware that Invicta sells normal watches that run off of conventional batteries so look carefully if you are searching for an Automatic watch.P.S. Automatic watches are great conversation pieces as most ordinary people don't know what they are.
