I bought this at amazon for 76 USD http://www.amazon.com/Invicta-8926O...8&qid=1425495181&sr=8-2&keywords=Invicta+8926

Looks good! I have one, also, with the coin edged bezel & works wonderfully & has gotten comparisions to the Rollie Sub. Amazing.

People bash Invicta watches but I don't mind them. I've never owned one but the seem to photograph well and seem like good value for little money. I own $15K watches and $150 watches. I have gens and reps. I love 'em all and am just happy to see people wear watches and its great to have a forum like this to discuss our hobby.

I was wondering if the new iWatch will hurt sales of the $500-$100 price-point timepiece as people will become "married" to their watches like they are to their smartphones.

I can's see spending $10K on the gold one only to have it obsolete in a few short years. That is for the ultra-rich techie trying to make a statement.

Will I buy one? Probably.

Hi and welcome. Love the cockpit shot and the one with the nice doggy. It´s always fine to have a backup, but once You get a BP Seadweller or Tudor Blackbay from one of the trusted dealers on here it may soon pass more time in a drawer... Enjoy & have fun and pls share more jetpics:)

I actually have the same watch - invicta 8926ob. Ever since I started getting into this rep hobby, it's been sitting in my box ever since.. that's what 2 ALS and 2 pams will do to you with a 3rd pam and a tudor bb on the way!

These are great beaters and a good way to get started in collecting.

My daily beater... Invicta 9937 CE with gen swiss ETA movement and a gen bezel. Help me out does anyone know if I can change the crystal to a gen sapphire crystal that is a bit thicker?

+1. Honestly after having had watches that cost thousands to ones that cost $50 bucks it's all about if you as the person wearing it likes it. As far as I'm concerned everyone else doesn't matter. As they say, opinions are like assholes, everyone has one.

For the price, it looks like it would be an easily obtainable watch to mod the face and maybe hands for an interesting custom RWI waterproof watch!

The gen crystal won't work on this case. You could have the crystal AR'd but not necessary

I have owned a 9937 pro diver for the last 11 years. It has never died on me. Absolutely nothing wrong with it to this day. And I have never had the 2824-2 movement serviced in it which tells you something about the construction of those movements. Anyways, just thought I'd share since we were talking about Invictas.

Is it possible to replace invicta dial with a rlx submariner dial and also for the crown?
