Bad: I suspect it may be a franken; dial color/indices are a little casual for ultra-formal wear; not sure if crown is original style or not

But as I said before, I'd always wanted a respectable watch with a green face and this has a very very nice one; pictures can't really capture the very subtle starburst which is quite attractive. I probably overpaid for it, but it makes me happy, so whiskey tango foxtrot.

doesn't matter what you paid as long as it puts a smile on your face

looks nice and clean

Enjoy it. And congratulations.

i told ya'll that i didn't think this watch thing was going to turn into a fetish, BUT, i just pulled the trigger on this Invicta Reserve Venom Limited Edition Swiss Chronograph.

i freaking drooled out of my penis when i saw this thing.....

Very nice.

I would love to buy a vintage Omega as a dress watch but don't even know where to begin...seems like there is a lot to know. Whereas you can pretty much just go and buy a new watch you like and not worry about what it is you have.

The face design on that Invicta Tourbillon looks like a big flesh colored tick.

Well after my previous posts regarding the Sub, I'm about to pull the trigger on this:

Should I go ahead and buy it, I expect delivery of it on Tuesday!!

mike the snake · 02-03-2013, 08:26 PM

DO IT MAN!

You won't be disappointed. The steel Sub is a great watch. haven't found another watch I want more yet (in this price range).

The1 · 02-03-2013, 08:31 PM

do you have other needs for that money or debt that money could go towards? If the answer is "no" then there really is no reason why you shouldn't.

There's currently 3 watch threads that I know of in this forum. It's kind of a pain. Would be nice if it were condense.

Litos · 02-05-2013, 11:46 AM

a few in my collection ---

1.) Tonino Lamborghini Spyder (I did not find the exact one like mine, but this is very similar). Mine is gold, yellow and has a CF dial, along with a CF/ steel belt.
2.) Baume and Mercier Riviera
3.) Longines-Hydro Conquest
4.) Raymond Weil - Freelancer

Litos · 02-07-2013, 05:15 PM

this is my 52mm Invicta Venom Limited Edition 74 of 300 that i just got last night.

the red border on the face looks pink since it's so close to the blue dial - i really like it.

when anyone asks, i'm going to tell them it's pink
