 - Decent watch for the moneyDecent watch for the price. It survived a week of diving in Mexico, and thats all I could ask for. The movement is a little loud, but not too bad. A pretty good watch for all around activities that I don't care about beating up. Rating: - Great so far...I bought this on Amazon's "Today's Deals", so I got it for an incredibly low price. I absolutely love the watch. it's the perfect, classic diver's watch. Solid and comfortable. The only thing that troubles me is that I can actually hear the automatic winding mechanisms when I move the watch back and forth - I have other automatics and I can't hear a thing when they wind. So this is kind of scary - it's a metal-on-metal sound, not a nice smooth sound. Not a big deal as long as it doesn't portend something broken. We'll see. Fortunately, I believe the warranty is for one year, which is really great. Notwithstanding that, this watch looks and feels great, and seems to have really solid construction. Rating:  - Not perfect, but worth the priceThe Invicta 9110a is a good looking piece, definitely a Rolex Submariner clone. The fit and finish is very good, but some nagging Quality Control issues arise that you should be aware of. The watch has a little luminous dot at the 12 o'clock position on the unidirectional bezel. This popped out into my lap not 2 hours after opening the box. I managed to save it and insert it back in the hole. It seems to be securely fastened now. The bezel itself is very hard to turn, mainly because of the design, which has smooth scallops instead of a coin edge. The timekeeping seems to be adequate, keeping to within a few seconds a day - normal for the Miyota 8215 movement inside. Overall, I am cautiously pleased with the purchase, despite the flaws. The shipped price of $69 is the only way that I would accept such flaws in a watch. Rating:  - Great WatchReally beautiful watch. I bought it for 79$, so for me it was a great deal. I think its shipper right now. I recomend it. Rating: - Looks like a ProThis is a great bargain for a truly professional looking diver's watch. Had one just like this 25 years ago, a Seiko, and this Invicta looks slightly better, but the Seiko was battery powered; becoming a problem with the seal when opening the back. Only drawback with this Invicta is inaccuracy, usually gaining up to a minute a day, but on occasion has lost a few seconds a day...weird...must have a correlation with wrist movement. I let it go a week or so then re-adjust - no biggie. I have a fancy Swiss watch, but prefer the sporty looks in all but formal settings. Bob Grannis, West Melbourne, FL
