Invicta has enough of their own designs to sell that separate them from making blatant copies. Any brand can be knocked-off by cheap companies selling on AliExpress. If a company has goals or some integrity other than financial gains. Still make affordable watches, but have some separation from Chinese clones without having to blur the lines. AE knock-off specials selling for $29.99 or lower should not be something they mimic. Parnis is doing the same thing with many of their models, but they don't disguise the fact or have ever claimed to be "Swiss Made" on the dials. Instead, they claim (Swiss grade mechanical watches for 2% of their price, Did you know that 40% of, "Swiss Made" is actually made in Asia?) I believe if it wasn't for the FH Swissness law crackdown not much would have changed for some brands on how they operate. Buy what you like and can afford. Companies need not try so hard trying to blow smoke up anyone else's behind if they have faith in their products.
You can't have it both ways. If I had a nickle for every time they would compare their meteorite dial watches with the "R" brand they were not allowed to mention I'd be filthy rich. Going out and making minimal changes on a "new" old classic design to avoid being in court is something that Eyal excels better with than most. It's a thin line indeed and one slip of the tongue or oversight on TV can cause real headaches, just ask Stuhrling Original LLC and ShopHQ.
