Hello all, been looking at whats on the wrist today section for some time now with a fair degree of envy, I have a small collection of mostly Invicta watches, will put some pics up later,
Anyway I have an I-force model 16896 which I am rather fond of, and as the poly strap is not ideal for me, I prefer metal, so I was wondering if anyone has any idea of a metal bracelet that would fit that's not going to cost nearly the price of the watch, you guys have it made, cheap watches etc, we have to pay a premium + import and tax just to get them to the UK.


Its a bit of an odd fitting due to the depth and shape, and so far after looking on the net I cant find anything, so if anyone has any idea where I might get one from I would be most grateful.

Welcome Tricky from across the pond. Terrible thing that attack on Paris, huh? [br][br]I don't know if this is true, but the following Invicta link for your watch reflects a 28mm band at the lugs. http://invictawatch.com/collections/view-model/)6896-i-force[br][br]If so, you might try something like these http://www.aliexpress.com/store/group/28mm-Stainless-Steel-Watchband/)33)7)8_258693336.html I can't vouch for the vendor as I've never ordered anything from them before, but they have both stainless and pvd, it appears.

If there's a solution for your mod question, I'm sure you've found the right place! :)
 
Hello from the UK, Invicta I-Force band question.

Thanks! yeah I guess I never thought of that, I use Tricky or Tricky-Ricky on most of the car forums I belong to, mainly because of the trick stuff I have done with cars and bikes over the years, and most forums wont let you use Dicky my name is Richard, yeah I know the US connotation's are different ha ha![br][br]I will dig out the vernier and get some dimension's, once the micky taking has died down. :D

One would think that Invicta would either publish the width at the lugs or, at least, have a separate category for lug width! Oh well.

Hello from the UK, Invicta I-Force band question.

This shows a measurement of this one 28 mm between the lugs and 23 mm wide after,but they probably have it reversed as the picture would show,smaller number is the lug width.[br][br]https://www.thewatchery.com/detail.asp?iq=)&bo_products_id=)&bo_products_variance_id=224)8)&promotion_code=CBD224)8)[br][br]Brand Invicta[br]Style )6896[br]Series I-force[br]Gender Men[br]Dial Color Primary Black[br]Luminous Hands and Indices[br]Dial Markers Indices[br]Weight (g.) )95[br]Movement Complication Chronograph[br]Movement Origin Country Far East[br]Movement Caliber SII VD57[br]Water Resistance )))M[br]Band Length (in.) 9.25[br]Band Width Between Lugs (mm.) 28[br]Band Width (mm.) 23[br]Case Shape Round[br]Case Finish Brushed[br]Case Color Silver-Tone[br]Case Material Stainless Steel[br]Case Back Material Stainless Steel[br]Case Back Type Screw-down[br]Crown Type Push/Pull[br]Crystal Type Mineral[br]Bezel Material Ion Plated Stainless Steel[br]Bezel Color Black[br]Hand Color(s) Silver-Tone and luminous hour, minute, and subdial.

Hello from the UK, Invicta I-Force band question.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys, and to answer the questions posed, Ace(Louis) I live near Kings Lynn Norfolk, Noma4, yeah its a terrible thing, and its escalating, things are getting a little crazy in the UK and Europe.[br]And thanks for the info so far, my main problem is the depth of the lugs and the scalloped shape, still not found the vernier.
