Ouch!!!

SNBC price today is over $600! Hope you didn't pay that much.........UGH!

What's up with these watches that just fall apart. I read one the other day where the guy

said the bezel just plopped on the floor in a business meeting. Kind of embarrassing.

See ya

So, you guys......what's the deal with these failed watches???

I don't know what each of your individual watches & problems were but, of all the watches I

have ever had (of various other brands in my life) I can say that none of them "broke" and

had to be repaired. Had to replace batteries and one the battery leaked and screwed up the

watch, band broke & were replaced, etc. but nothing like what Matt mentioned about "a

crown falling off"!

I have purchased a bunch of Invictas lately, albeit I didn't pay much per watch.....in fact,

through the various deals, et. al., I think the most was about $140....all quartz of various

Invicta models.

What do I have to look forward to here???? That's why I am shocked about the cost of the

cool Venom he was talking about. If my $60 purchase died, I would be ticked, but not the

same as if a many-hundred dollar Reserve piece failed (or "broke")! Ugh.......

See ya.

Hi there. I have a invicta venom with the blue dial. So far so good. Maybe invicta has gotten

too big and the quality isn't like it use to be.. I'm hearing a lot of mixed things about invicta

and so far I've been happy with them.

If it has been under 30 days send it to shop for replacement. Why pay Invicta to fix

a defective watch?

I have a lot of Invictas both auto and quartz. Can anyone tell me how long it takes to have

Invicta change a battery ? I hear these horror stories over the years about it taking months

to get a repair back from them. Most battery changes can be done by a jeweler but the

higher end models such as my Specialtys are good for 500M water resistancy and need to be

properly resealed by Invicta. Sny info will be appreciated.

I was not aware the crown is covered under warranty - I believe it is only the movement and

the crown is not considered part of the movement. I hope I'm wrong but this has been

addressed in past post.
