Invicta Men's 5053 Pro Diver Collection Automatic Watch

I purchased this watch after seeing it online on Amazon and thought it looked very similar to the Rolex Submariner. For less that $100, I thought "Why not? If it's junk I can return it or keep it as a thrasher watch." Well, I was very surprised. The 8926 is a sharp looking watch! It's heavy, solidly built with thick solid bracelet and clean very Rolex-like dial. This version has the Japanese automatic movement from Seiko, movement NH25A (my watch is engraved 8926A on the back case). The auto-wind rotor is etched with SII and Seiko "dot" logo on the right side and NH25A on the left side along with "twenty one jewels" on the center. There are other miscellaneous engravings on the rotor. I own several automatic watches that I can wind manually by turning the crown. When I tried to wind this watch manually, it didn't do anything. I didn't feel it engage the mainspring... the crown just spun freely. A look through the manual didn't mention anything about the Seiko NH25A movement so I thought perhaps the watch was defective because the crown wouldn't engage the mainspring for manual winding. I decided to check the SII website, specifically the NH25A specification and discovered that this movement doesn't have manual winding capability. It's 100% automatic and must be wound by movement of the rotor. I wonder how many people returned this watch thinking it was defective! Anyway, I put the watch in a watch winder and let it go for 24 hours (timed auto rotation mode)and it's been running flawlessly since. I read how some owners were disappointed that their 8926 reserve time is less than 8 hours. I let mine wind down to see how long the reserve time is and it went a full 36 hours before it stopped. I put it back in the watch winder and let it fully wind up and it's been running non-stop for over a month as a daily wearer. I take the watch off at night and let it sit for 8 to 10 hours per day and it hasn't stopped once. I've pretty much stopped wearing my other watches (I have 45 of them). My 8926A has been running very accurately. In little over month and half, I've only reset the time twice my moving the minute hand back 2 minutes each time. Either I got very lucky with this movement's regulation or Seiko NH25A is an excellent movement! I like my Invicta 8926A so much and have been so impressed with Invicta quality, I went and bought more. I now have the following... 8926 Japan Automatic S/S (stainless steel) scalloped edge bezel 9307 Swiss Quarts S/S scalloped edge bezel 9310 Swiss Quartz S/S Gold scalloped edge bezel 9937 Swiss Automatic S/S coin-edge bezel (aka Rolex style) 9938 Swiss Automatic S/S Gold coin-edge bezel (aka Rolex style) All of them are running flawlessly. UPDATE: 9/23/13 My Invicta 8926 has been running non-stop and flawlessly since I bought it over a year ago. During that time, I let it wind down only three times just to see what the reserve time is and it's right around 30 - 35 hours. When I'm not wearing the watch, it's in an auto-winder. I don't like getting my watches wet because I hate the wet clammy feeling under the watch on my wrist and I have to take the watch off anyway to dry it, so I generally won't soak the watch to begin with, especially if it has leather band. Having read the customers review that complained about the water resistance of their Invicta watches, I decided to soak mine... in the shower and in a cup of water overnight. No damage visible and watch keeps perfect time. Maybe I'm lucky? Now, that was before I opened the case back to regulate the watch. The gasket still looked good when I put the case back back on but as for its water tightness now, I don't know and I don't care because I'm not going to soak it diving down to 660 feet. The watch crystal, bezel, case and most of the links still look very shiny and in excellent condition except for the clasp which is completely scratched up from being dragged across desks. It's taken few very hard hits and hasn't suffered any shock damage. Overall, I was so pleased with my Invicta, I bought many more instead of dropping a lot of money on one Swiss-Made brand name watch... I researched a lot about the Swiss watch industry and now I refuse to fall for the marketing scam. I work with several people who are watch snobs and they pretty much laugh at the Invicta brand or any thing else that doesn't cost upwards of $5000 and up. Can someone tell me why Breitling, Tag Heuer, Tissot and Rolex cost so much, especially if its just stainless steel and not precious metal case?? Just a bit of rambling now. Over the past year, I've sort of lost my mind and became a watch fanatic... I now own about 300 watches and the last tally on purchases surpassed $10,000. I became fascinated with the whole watch industry and watchmaking/repairs and decided to study Horology as a hobby. For one, the whole Swiss Made quality thing is a marketing scam. I delved into the whole manufacturing/marketing thing and learned that really there is only a handful of movement manufacturers in Switzerland (Swatch Group being one of the largest {ETA movements}) that supply most of the movements to other manufacturers. Some of the EXPENSIVE name brand watches use "upgraded" movement parts that you'd find in lower priced watches. I can understand the "upgrading" of the parts but how do they justify the incredible cost? It's all in the name. I bet you'll be surprised to learn that a lot of Swiss watches are made with parts supplied by companies outside of Switzerland and "finished" in Switzerland. As long as it's 50% cost of assembly of the movement in Switzerland, it's considered Swiss Movement. It doesn't matter where the parts came from (China). Now, of course there are some Swiss watch manufacturers that make everything in-house and don't share anything, but it's only a handful. So, with this dose of skepticism, I bought many watches to test and evaluate, priced from about $15.00 to over $1000.00. I also bought a timing machine and various watchmaker tools and gained enough knowledge to be able to take apart and repair mechanical watches (as well as quartz watches.) Sapphire crystal is the rage on watches... so I decided to replace quite a few of them on my personally owned watches... and discovered that they aren't that expensive at all. In Los Angeles Jewelry District, I bought many genuine sapphire crystals from dealers that supply watch parts to repair shops for about $10.00 to $35.00 per piece depending on size and thickness, most of them being in the $10 - $15 mark. It takes me less than 5 minutes to swap out the mineral glass with the sapphire glass. I also buy watch batteries for about 50 cents per piece instead of $4.00 to $5.00 per piece you'd find at repair shops. Shows you what kind of profit they are making... Using my timing machine, I have regulated my mechanical watches to accuracy within +/-5 seconds or better per day. My Invicta 8926 with the NH25A Seiko movement has been regulated to within +/-2 seconds per day. It took me about 30 minutes of measuring and adjusting the balance to get this accurate and it was done measuring the timing with dial up, dial down, 12H up, 12H down, 3H up (crown up), 3H down, averaging positional error. The watch also has 0.1 mSec beat timing error or better depending on positioning, which is good. It means the tick and the tock of the watch is timed almost perfectly. I could have paid thousands of dollars for ONE watch bearing famous Swiss name to get this type of accuracy, but then, I would have learned that I was ripped off just for the bragging rights to say "I own a (insert expensive name watch here)." I even bought a tourbillon watch to test it for timing accuracy and... surprise... it's no more accurate than my other $100 - $500 watches. Now, I will admit that some of my mechanical watches were very very difficult to regulate because they just wouldn't hold adjustment. But it was more of an exception than the rule. Those watches I use to practice taking apart and reassembly... and I have broken a few of them. Quartz watches, in general, are very accurate. I've been timing them using timing signal from Fort Collins, Colorado for accuracy and from my no-name $15 quartz watch to my Philips Watch (Swiss Made)and my Movados (and all in-between from Chinese, Japanese and Swiss)have all been within 5 seconds per month or better with an exception of a few that have been off my almost 8 to 10 seconds per month. In other words, in a year, the worse timed quartz watch will be off by 2 minutes. I can live with that. Oh, and I'm still adding to my watch collection. Yes, I have lost my mind... :)

It's a marvel of engineering that's convinced me it will serve me for decades. It's got a reliable rh25a movement which is the unbranded version of the movement, seiko 4r36, by which the new seiko srp series monsters feature . It's compact, but rugged design is pleasant on the eye. Invicta gets numerous negative criticism on various watch forums for being such a generic brand but it's all the more reason I am a fan in addition to my first impressions on my new divers watch. It's compact but rugged design is pleasing to the eye. I anticipate decades of use coupled with my watch winder. Lastly, I understand some of you with higher end watches may not have as high regard for this particular modestvpriced watch, but for me it is my prized possession as someone with modest means and will never own any of the higher end time pieces; this is what I find most inspiring with this timepi ce; it was not designed to compete with the higher end watches; rather, it is in a league of its own as a most reliable, economicaly accessible work of old world craftsmanship. I am a modest watch collector and have owned at one time, seiko srp309, Hamilton khaki mechanical, and 5 orient. They’ve all been stolen just recently and I’ve been prompted to redefine what i value in a brand arch; affordability, quality, functionality, and practicality, as well as pleasure of ownership. And all these criteria apply to this invicta 8926. It is so impressive to see each day it’s on my wrist. It’s accurqcy is well maintained by my winder I put it in each night. I feel owning this a arch connects me to a proportionate numbervof other invicta fans who can only appreciate the brand by having owned one. Go ahead enjoy, baby! *update* Its now been 12 years since my watch was delivered to me and I still value and cherish it as my one watch that’s lasted me longer than any other place atch has. I still marvel at its mechanism behind the crystal. The accuracy does vary day to day but well accurate enough for my uses. After all, seconds are not very practical anyway in life as much as the minutes or hours. As long as it’s within minutes of the corr ct time I’m happy. The case size at 40mm although, smaller than my other ones arches, looks much better on my bony wrist than I had initially thought.

Over the years, I have owned a slew of watches - more than 75 all told, ranging everywhere from inexpensive Casio digital watches that are worn on the weekend to several thousand dollar watches with automatic chronograph movements and high end finishes. Out of the watches that I have owned at different times, several were Invictas, and none particularly impressed me. The movements never kept as accurately as I hoped, and the finishes didn't seem to hold up - leather bands would bend too much and look worn quickly, rubber straps would break, etc. This watch, however, at a much lower price point than most of the watches that I have owned and even less than the other Invictas that I have owned, shines and outperforms almost every watch that I've worn. Pros: -The fit and finish are remarkable for the price. Others have said it, but this truly does feel like a watch worth several times its price - I would honestly pay around $400-$500 for this watch and still feel like I was getting a good deal. -The size is perfect for most wrists. I say most because it is still on the smallish side and men with larger wrists may want to go with a Grand Diver, although I have heard that those are not as high of quality. I do usually wear larger watches, the 44-46mm range is usually more in my wheelhouse, but because of the design of the watch and the robustness of the case, it wears a perfect size for my wrist. -The bracelet is very comfortable and the diver's clasp on it snaps easily and wears well. -It keeps great time, even when not worn constantly or kept in the winder (I know I should buy another but it's down the road) -The screw down crown, although it has slight challenges (see below) does seem to really protect the watch and makes me feel that this will hold up well over time -You can dress it up or down -The exhibition caseback displays a highly decorated movement, which you don't typically see in this price range Cons: -I would prefer the coin edge bezel personally, but I chose this one because the 8926ob says it is 2mm smaller and I couldn't verify whether or not that was true - a really small gripe, I know -The crown does occasionally act up...it's a screw down, which is great, but sometimes when moved to the innermost position which is inside of the date and time adjustments, when it is turned to screw the crown in, it still adjusts the time Overall a great watch without a doubt. For the $72 and change that I spent on it, there is simply not a better watch out there. I would challenge you to find a better watch for under $150 honestly, and the only watch that is even remotely close in price that is the same quality in the same category would be the Seiko Black Monster, which is currently about 2 1/2 times this watch's price. I wanted a great watch that I could wear with anything, dressed up or down, and that was an automatic so that I could wear it in the pool and ocean without worrying about getting it wet (even 200m water resistant quartz watches are no longer water-tight once they have had a battery change), and that is exactly what I got. If you have $70 burning a hole in your pocket, you would hard-pressed to make any purchase that would last you longer than this one.

This review is for the Invicta Men's 8926 Pro Diver Automatic watch I recently purchased. The first watch I received had a defect and Amazon customer service was great, they replaced the watch immediately. The replacement was just as beautiful as the first one was that was defective. This watch appears to be of very high quality, not only does it look great, it feels great while wearing it. The adjustment to the watch band was very easy and now the watch fits perfectly and is comfortable to wear all day long. The watch gains about 6-8 minutes a day, which is not too bad, better than losing time each day, although I expected it to be more accurate than that. I have read many reviews from others who bought this same watch and some reported issues with accuracy, some even worse than my watch but those who had them adjusted all reported that the watch could be adjusted to keep better time, about +/- 3-4 seconds each day, which is very good for an inexpensive automatic watch. The only real complaint I have is that the stored energy from just the movement of my arm all day at my office job is insufficient to keep the watch running for more that about 12 hours after I take it off. I read some reviews where others reported the stored energy for their Invicta automatic watches was also inadequate. However, if I had a more active job, I think the energy in the watch would keep it running for longer, maybe 16-18 hours or so, and that is based on some experimenting I performed by moving the watch around for 2-3 minutes after I take the watch off at the end of the day. The only other automatic watch I have owned would store energy better as it would stay running for more than 40 hours, about double the energy this watch stores, without having to do anything other than wear the watch all day. Altogether, I am very happy with my Invicta watch and if it would just store a bit more energy, I would rate it outstanding. For the price you will pay for this watch, I don't think you could find one that looks as nice or works any better. Below are my further comments about 2 weeks after my first comments were provided: This is just an update about the accuracy of this watch. I mistakenly stated that this watch gains about 6-8 minutes a day. I meant to say that it gains about 6-8 seconds a day. I apologize for the mistake. I have done some reading since my first post and learned that these mechanical watches have a break-in period and after that, they usually will keep better time, although I have no idea how long the break-in period is. I also want to state that if I take the time to move the watch around and around for about a minute each day after I take it off, it will still be running the next day, at least to noon time. So, I guess my desk job does not provide enough movement to keep it fully wound up, so that explains why it will stop running in the early morning if I just take it off and put it on my nightstand each afternoon. I would definitely buy this same watch again based on the performance and looks and for the very reasonable price. I have raised my rating from three stars to four stars.

For less than $100 US, I doubt you can find an alternative that has the same long list of highly desirable features: - Reliable, highly accurate movement (Seiko Instruments 4R36) with hacking and winding support. - Unidirectional, reasonable quality bezel - Screw down (water resistant) crown - Exhibition (see through) screw-on (water resistant) case back. - Classic & elegant design based closely on the most influential watch design ever created (Rolex Sub). This is basically a barely legal replica except for the bezel which has a dis-similar omega style design). The most comparable thing out there would be a Seiko 5 Sports SNG-805 which is also has a very pretty, though non-diver's style design. But the Seiko models under $100.00 will generallly have the non-hacking, non-winding 7S26/36 movement, which is a good reliable mechanical movement but lacking the previously mentioned convenience features. Maybe some would argue in favor of the a Russian made Vostok model, which have various movement capabilities - some are automatic, some manual winding, but none of them hacking, as far as I know. These are interesting watches, no doubt, but I've never had one and I don't find the designs particularly attractive (they look like old bottle-tops to me). There are a lot of highly negative reviews of this watch, and 'where there is smoke' there is probably fire. Invicta quality control, if any, is marginal, and warranty support is notoriously unsatisfactory. You kind of have to have 'lady luck' in your corner when you purchase one of these. If you "get a good one", you will be thrilled with what you get for your $$. If not, and you have to deal directly with the manufacturer, you might want to avoid throwing good money after bad (and considerable aggravation) by just tossing the watch and moving on. Oh well! You can give yourself a good hedge against negative scenarios by making sure to buy one of these offered with Amazon's Free Returns. When you receive it, remember that you are the quality control supervisor for your purchase: wind up the watch and test it for accuracy, and perform other reasonable tests to make sure the crown works properly and that the hands of the watch are securely attached and won't fall off, etc. Return the watch if you find any defects or if time-keeping is unsatisfactory. Many negative reviews comment that the watch's water resistance failed and the watch fogged up and stopped working after they went swimming with it (or otherwise submerged it in H2O). My understanding is that the watch is NOT ISO certified for the water resistance stated (200M) so I would suggest considering this more of a 'diver's style' watch, rather than a true dive watch. That is, don't buy this if you are looking for watch that's good for water sports. Another common complaint is the bracelet. I think it's actually a pretty decent bracelet for a watch at this price, but it's not a high quality, durable bracelet, so you just assume before buying this that to make sure that you have it attached to your risk in a highly secure manner, you will have to eventually replace it. It looks great with a black & grey stripped NATO strap, IMHO. Other criticisms of this watch relate to it's being such a close copy of the Rolex Sub. I've never had a Rolex, and would not consider buying one. If I had that kind of money to toss around (I don't!), better to donate to a worthy cause, I would say. This watch may be just a 'slavish copy', but I think credit should be given where it is due: it takes some ingenuity to manufacture something that can sell for $85 that is, to a close approximation, similar, in appearance and performance, to a watch that costs over 100x more.

I have now owned this watch for 16 months. It was the second watch I bought when I started collecting. I now own a Seiko SKX009, a Citizen NY0040 and an NY2300, and an Orient Mako, so I have some basis for comparison in terms of automatics, and I have to say that I am astounded by how well-engineered, durable, and accurate this watch is. The only automatic in my collection that rivals it is the NY0040, which I think is slightly more accurate, and which I prefer a bit more aesthetically, but hey-- it's basically twice the price of the 8926, and it does not have a hackable movement. Here's what I like about the 8926: * The hacking NH35A movement. You can stop the second hand, which means you can really set the watch to the second. This feature is almost unknown in budget automatics. And you may want to set this to a good time source because of... * The accuracy. This watch took a LONG time to break in, started out very fast, but be patient. Now, over some 48 hour periods, depending on how many hours I'm wearing it, it's only fast or slow by a few seconds. It does vary a bit more than the Citizen or the Orient, which tend to be off by the same number of seconds each day, but... holy crap. Some Rolexes and Omegas are not this accurate. I wore it in the evenings only for about 10 days this week, and it was slow 20 seconds. Then I worked out last night on the elliptical, and by this morning, it was only slow 15 seconds. The Invicta, the Citizen, and the Orient are the only watches accurate enough that you could really take for a long weekend away, without resetting them, and not worry about missing planes and trains even if you're cutting it pretty close and don't want to use your phone for time. My Seiko SKX009 is almost unusable at 20 seconds slow per day, and the Citizen NY2300 also needs to be reset almost every day. * It is hand windable, which the Orient and Seiko are not. * It's definitely durable. I've worn it body boarding and frequently wear it swimming. * The date window is easy to read with middle-aged eyes. The magnification is acceptable. The Orient may be slightly more accurate, but the date never lines up properly in the window. * In general, the watch is very readable for some reason. Everything lines up the way it should. * The bezel clicks in half second increments, and the gear tolerances are very precise. Again, everything lines up properly. * It does not have a month window, which is a good thing. If you own several watches and rotate through them regularly, that means your automatics have to be set pretty frequently, and setting the month is just something else to slow you down if you're leaving the house in a hurry. Besides, unless you're really high all the time, you probably know what month it is anyway. If you don't know what month it is, you have problems most watches won't solve. * You don't have to worry about it. If it gets ripped off from a hotel room, you're out less than a hundred bucks. * I'm glad I got the bevel-edged bezel instead of the coin-edged. If you wind up buying other diving watches, they will probably have coin-edges, so it's nice to have something different even if it's not quite as easy to grip. * I think the idea that an accessory says something about someone as a person is pretty lame, but to the extent that I ever think that way, his is a watch that says, "I like watches, but I'm not a snob-- and if you are, I don't care." I still like looking at it over a year later. * It hasn't scratched much, or at all, except on the bottom of the band, which is inevitable. I'm pretty careful with watches, but everyone screws up from time to time, and I have no big nicks on the crystal, bezel, or case. My only quibbles with the watch are very, very minor: * The bezel is hard to turn in some circumstances-- when it's cold, or your fingers are. It's never locked up on me, but it's a little tight, and I use the bezel a lot for parking meters and other coarse timing. It does seem to have loosened up a little. * It's not always easy to get the crown to position one, the middle position, for setting the date. This has gotten a bit easier with time, but it usually takes two or three tries. This is a pretty common problem with other watches, not a big deal. * I wish the crystal was recessed instead of protruding slightly, though I never really notice this. * It looks a little too much like a Rolex, though it doesn't quite pretend to be one. In general, I am really shocked this watch has broken in so well and seems so sturdy at this price point.

Worth more than the price

I opened the box and said, "Wow" this is a beautiful watch. Too beautiful to wear actually. Finally after several months passed I put it on my wrist, gave it the intial wind up to get going and took a four mile walk, gently swinging my arms as I walked. The watch second hand stopped about every fifteen minutes and I had to shake it to get it going again. Despite walking four miles it failed to wind the spring automatically and would only run for a minute or two tops before it stopped. Now I have to mail it to Invicta with a twenty five dollar check for return postage and handling plus the cost of mailing it to them! Maybe, I just had a lemon but I urge you to wear it the day you get it to use the Amazon warranty and keep in mind that Beauty is only skin deep even if it's stainless steel! The one star is for being beautiful. Updated 12/07/07 I mailed the watch to Invicta for repair and waited almost twelve weeks for it to be returned. After the first seven weeks I called Invicta to check on the repair status. They said it had to be mailed overseas for repairs and would take longer before it was returned to me. Yes, I now have the watch and it actually works. I purchased an auto watch winder and have left it on the autowinder since I received it. It has been running just fine and keeps accurate time. I will now wear it on my wrist and see if it holds up to daily use. The moral of the story is that while the watch is beautiful it is in reality just costume jewelery and not a serious time piece. I have increased the rating to THREE STARS but be prepared to be dissapointed if you want a serious time piece. Updated 12/21/07 Well, I have worn the Invicta on my wrist daily for two weeks and it has kept very accurate time and there have been no problems. This is my conclusion. I love the appearance of the watch and the price was very affordable. I now agree with all the reviews that rave about the watch. You may be one of the lucky ones and get an Invicta that works right out of the box. I blame myself for not wearing it during the 30 day return period intially. I can now raise to rating to FOUR STARS for satisfaction and value but only if you are one of the lucky ones not to be shipped a lemon watch, even then the stellar Amazon service will exchange it during the 30 day exchange window. 3/1/08 Well its back to one star for a rating. The auto=wind appears to be on the blitz. If I wear it all day it stops within an hour of taking it off my wrist, even on the automatic watch winder it will not keep running because the rotation is too gentle. What can I say, it is a beautiful watch but is really just costume jewerly. I have a seiko "black monster" dive watch now that is perfect in every regard. 7-6-08 While the watch has been collecting dust in the draw I am still drawn to the beauty of the time peice. I now wear it again but must manually wind it up twice a day to keep it going. I am truly amazed at all the positive reviews that always start out this watch appears to be much more expensive than what I paid for it. I suspect the vast majority of those people are too embarrased to edit their glowing reviews to simply say that their watches have stopped working after a few months. These Invicta watches are all flash and no substance. Be warned, spend a few more bucks and get a Citizen or Seiko dive watch for a truly quality watch that will give years of service and uncompromized customer satisfaction. Everytime an Invicta automatic dive watch is sold an unhappy customer will be the result in a few months. You have been warned!!

ムーブメント、約10日間寝る時も装着して、日差+25秒。 期待したより少し進み気味ですが、許容範囲内。 何より、遅れない個体だったので、満足。 文字盤は、満点。 ケースは、ベルトを付ける腕の部分、面取りが甘く尖っていて、そこだけ残念。 ベルトは、値段相応。カチャカチャするのと、コマの面取りが甘いこと。 留め具が固過ぎる。 ベゼルは、固すぎてスムーズに回せない。 気になる点を並べましたが、この価格でこのムーブメンNH35で、全体的な仕上げに、満足しないはずがない。 デザインが気に入れば、超お勧めです。 つーか、買いましょう。

C'est une vraie montre de plongée, étanche à 200 m, avec le remontoir qui se visse pour éviter les fuites. Le mouvement automatique, fabriqué par Seiko, est stupéfiant de précision : 2 s par jour, mieux qu'un chronomètre suisse certifié ! Et en plus on peut le voir : il est très beau ! Les détails sont très soignés : logo Invicta sur le cadran, la trotteuse, le remontoir, le côté du boitier et le bracelet. On ne peut pas dire que c'est une copie de Rolex ! D'ailleurs je préfère ce modèle 8926 original au modèle 8926OB dont la lunette copie la Rolex Submariner. Possibilité d'arrêter la trotteuse pour régler l'heure à la seconde près. Garantie 3 ans en s'inscrivant sur le site d'Invicta. Je ne l'ai que depuis une semaine et je ne lui vois qu'un seul petit défaut : le revêtement lumineux n'est pas très puissant. Attention, il faut un outil pour raccourcir le bracelet (chasse-goupille Ø1 mm). Mise à jour après un mois d'utilisation : la précision a doublé puisqu'elle ne varie plus que d'une seconde par jour. Impressionnant ! Mise à jour après trois mois : attention aux aimants ! SEIKO indique que son mouvement est antimagnétique, mais ma montre s'est brutalement déréglée après que j'ai manipulé des aimants : +15s/j. J'ai dû acheter (sur Amazon) un démagnétiseur qui a rétabli la précision à +2 s/j. Mise à jour après un an : - la précision s'est encore améliorée à +/- 1 s/j ! En pratique, je la règle à la fin des mois de moins de 31 jours, en même temps que la date, et je n'y touche plus pendant deux ou trois mois. - le revêtement lumineux blanc des aiguilles est devenu gris, ce qui diminue le contraste et rend la lecture moins rapide. Ce problème n'affecte pas les index lumineux du cadran. Mise à jour après deux ans : - la précision s'est un peu dégradée à -5 s/j, mais je travaille avec des aimants et je ne pense pas toujours à l'enlever. En revanche elle est remarquablement stable : je la règle à + 1min chaque semaine et je sais que j'ai toujours un peu d'avance. - le verre et l'inox poli ont pris quelques rayures (je ne l'enlève pas pour bricoler), mais elle présente toujours très bien. - elle m'a redonné le gout des montres mécaniques, mais j'envisage de monter en gamme vers 200 €, soit avec une montre suisse (Swatch Sistem51 ou Swatch Body and Soul), soit avec une montre japonaise (Orient Mako III Kamasu avec verre en saphir et revêtement lumineux plus intense).

przyzwoity automat z dobrą wodoszczelnością i bransoletą oparty na mechanizmie Seiko , słaba luma , ciężko ustawić bezel , do nurkowania się nie nadaje ale jako codzienny jest jak najbardziej w porządku

Perfect and as expected.

Excelente relógio e modelo fantástico.
