Opened my Corduba Enforcer this morning....
And so it goes with Invicta. Really, in terms of their other lies, this one is actually pretty minimal. [br][br]This sort of thing goes back to when I posted a lot of stuff at BDWF, some of it tongue-in-cheek, some of it serious. The Swiss made movements that were manufactured in China? Check. The sandstone dials that were actually glass? Check.[br][br]Later on, when I joined Watchlords (which got me the grumpy user hack at WGs) I learned more. The DD fiasco? Remember that, when Dubois-Depraz was used in some sort of Invicta, and something went wrong with them (I can't recall the issue, but it had something to do with the hands) and loud conversations were going to ensue with Eyal? It turned out that DD had never sold the modules to Invicta; they had, apparently, fallen off the back of a truck.[br][br]I don't hate all TV watches. Androids are pretty good--I never got one that had a fogged crystal, they always told time pretty well, and Mrs. conjurer still owns and wears a couple I bought for her. Croton made some good watches. I've owned a Deep Blue or two, and although they weren't to my taste, they were well made and worth the money.[br][br]Invicta is different. They're the laughstock of the watch trade. Nobody takes them seriously. Their CS is so apallingly awful that nobody wants to send their watch in just in case that they never get them back/get them in worse condition/get them back with Chinese clone movements inside. It's all written down here. Even Mr. Skelton, who is not exactly a paragon of truthfulness, as he's already told us here, can't stand beside the watches he so willingly sold us on Shop/Evine/whatever.[br][br]Why do you keep buying this crap? Do you think Eyal will come to some personal epiphany and not sell his customers garbage any longer? Do you think you have to crack open a Hamilton automatic chronograph and not find a SW5))? Or a Glycine, or a Kobold? Certainly not. They are established brands. They are not garbage. If Stan Betesh tells you its a 775), it is. The same for Wing Liang. Like buzzard says above, assume everything Invicta tells you is a lie. [br][br]This is why I came here, to preach the gospel. Like Luther, here I stand. Do with me as you will.
