InvictaMen's Speedway Collection Stainless Steel Watch

I have always wanted a Rolex Daytona. However, $15,000 was a little out of my price range. While searching a Daytona on Amazon this item came up. I took a look, and it did appear pretty good. Not a Rolex, as expected.I took a flyer, simply to see it in person. How could a watch that costs $75 be in any way satisfactory?The Invicta that arrived is far beyond anything I could expect for the price. I've always dismissed Invicta watches as being crude and not worthy of consideration.The watch that arrived is amazing. Right, it isn't a Rolex. However, it is exactly the same in size and weight, and the finish, gold bracelet, gold bezel, everything is correct. I have owned a Rolex. This is as close as anything to the real thing.I'm really particular about what I wear, and I'm proud to wear this watch.The dial is perfectly rendered. The gold is bright and everything I could want it to be. The bezel is beautifully crafted, and looks exactly like the Rolex.However, the stop watch function is not in any way usable. The sweep second hand is exactly that, a second hand. It doesn't function as a stop watch second hand. The small dials function as the stop watch. They simply don't work as you would expect. And the Hour dial works as a 24 hour dial. Fine, as long as you know what to expect.I LOVE this watch. But it is all show and no go, so to speak. It's all about wearing it and loving looking at it. If you're looking for a functional stop watch, this isn't it. But how many Daytona owners actually use the stop watch function?If you want a Daytona but don't want to spend $15,000, buy this watch. You will NOT be disappointed. It's accurate, beautiful and a pleasure to own.I suppose it will show wear in a few years, but then I can buy around 250 of these for the price of one Daytona.This watch blows me away, I own collectible Seiko titanium, Omega, Tag Heuer, etc. I'm amazed and astounded by this watch.If you wear this watch your biggest problem will be in explaining to people that it isn't actually a Rolex.

This was a present for a guy, but I ended up keeping it myself (woman) since it's right up there with the large fashionable watches that women wear these days. Plus, it's not huge at 40mm, it looks right if you have a bigger wrist, like I do. The bracelet is very large though (naturally, it's a guy's watch!) - around 8.5" so you may need to adjust it or take a few links out. I think the gold is beautiful, it matches exactly my 18k jewelry, and I can wear it with both gold and silver. Adjusting it is a breeze, just make sure you unscrew the center knob. Even though I never use all its functions, it's just nice to have them. Make sure all 3 knobs are tightened, so no water enters the watch. I find the bezel tasteful, with the numbers being very fine, just indented and barely visible. I was afraid it would look gaudy with black numbers on the bezel (as pictured), but that's not the case, it's just golden gorgeous.The bracelet is substantial, even though I think it's hollow, and the watch is not too heavy (compared to my ceramic watch), but it's got a good solid feel. The white dial is beautiful too, with a shiny surface and a beautiful raised diamond and sunray pattern. There are no markers at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock (as the one pictured is an older model), but I don't find them terribly necessary.I was impressed by the careful packaging, the bracelet and watch case are wrapped in protective plastic, so no scratches. The box looks impressive too, if you want it for a gift. It even comes with a polishing cloth, warranty and user manual. Really, no complaints. I checked the Rolex Daytona that many celebrities wear (I cannot afford the real thing), but it's a good lookalike, and I love that style chronograph look. This is a gold plated watch, so we'll see in time how good it holds. This is my first Invicta watch, and if the quality is the same, I plan to buy more Daytonas... err Speedways, in other color combinations.Highly recommended for a guy or a gal.

A high quality, quartz movement with screw down back and screw down crowns on the side of the watch. Feels great and looks great but if you have a large wrist it will look petite go bigger. Otherwise I highly recommend this hard to find model from INVICTA!

First off its an Invitca. It costs under $100. It is a homage to a Rolex and not a competitor to Rolex. If you want a high end watch similar to a Rolex this is NOT it. You should probably look elsewhere or just get the Rolex.Now, with that settled, this is a very nice homage watch. I would say it is your "standard" Invicta quality if not slightly higher. If you hate Invictas then you will probably hate this watch. If you love Invictas then you will probably love this watch. If you have no idea what the controversy is over the love/hate relationship with Invictas and just want a cheap but nice looking watch, buy this one.I won't repeat what other reviews have stated. But will point out two things. First, the chronograph "crowns" are also screw down. That doesn't bug me but makes it hard to use that function while it is on your wrist. I guess you could just keep those unscrewed but that is going to negate the waterproofing. How many times do you really need to use the chronograph functions though, anyhow? So not a big thing. Second, there are a few reviews mentioning the tachymeter on the bezel being worthless since the second hand keeps actual time and isn't a part of the chronograph function. If these people would also just look at the bezel they would see that the units on the tachymeter are in UNITS PER HOUR, not second or minute. (Anyway who even uses the tachymeter feature anyhow...but if you are going to complain about it at least check the units before doing so.)In short, nice watch. Grab it if want something that looks nice but doesn't cost thousands of dollars.
