        Ive just treated myself to an Invicta Reserve speciality scuba 18kgold plated case will post some pics up later its chuffing huge and weighs a ton
        Welcome to the club! I have 7 Invictas now, 3 of which are reserves...

        Lovely watches, and the service centre in the Netherlands provide an excellent service, brand on the rise IMO.

        You should get one of the Peli cases for it!

          The Breitling for Bentley in the background is a recent purchase too.
          Got it for peanuts cos it's borked. Keeps good time but there's something up with the date wheel.
          I'm going to have a go at fixing it. Time to burst a few blood vessels in my eyes

            Your need one of them huge magnifying glass lights

            I was looking at a tag heuer that was on ebay, someone had managed to knock the time adjuster on the side off, they had it still but apparently didn't have time to go and get it fixed so it ended up on there.

            edit - still think the worst thing i've ever seen someone do to a expensive watch is iirc a guy called lambchop on passionford damaged his rolex falling over, ended up scraping the strap and face of the watch. They was quoting him around 2k to fix it in the end. He went thru another member on that site and got it done for a better price.

              I've ordered a good toolkit from an Aussie company that should arrive this week. Not the usual ebay tat.
              Looking forward to getting a look at an automatic watch movement. Should be fun.

                Have you thought about sending it back to Breitling for a service and to fix the date wheel?

                I've always loved the Navitimer range and have a Navitimer 'Calibre' 01 Limited Edition (721/2000).

                    I was looking at the C700 GRANDE RAPIDE



                    there was another one that was cheaper as just a daily watch but I can't find that now.

                          I saw quite a few invicta watches when I was looking at mine but some of them was truly huge.

                          Same as twsteel watches, I tried a few on and they was massive.

                            That's their appeal, but I'm a big guy so I they don't feel OTT to me, I just really appreciate how well they are made and how different they are to other brands out there. I have a Bell & Ross and I don't think the build is any better than my invicta reserves
