I think I saved $10k on this Invicta!
This... This is the holy grail of motor-sports-inspired watches. Forget your Speedmasters, Autodromos, Tags... This amazing watch has EVERYTHING needed to convey that it (or the wearer) has what it takes to be the next [insert the name of your favourite NASCAR or F1 driver here].
First - the strap:
High-Quality tread ensures maximum grip. Central portion is smooth, like a race tire, for straight-line acceleration. Meanwhile, the aggressive tread-blocks on the outer portions will take you deep off-road or through 12 feet of snow!
The case:
At a shade under 17mm, this exceptionally-slim watch should fit under the sleeves of most t-shirts with ease, allowing it to be worn with a shirt on, too.
The dial:
The 40mm dial neatly fills the 50mm case. The exposed bolts are for future mechanical upgrades, like braided brake lines for the metal rotor applied to the dial, beneath the metal rim. Speaking of which...
... OF COURSE THE WHEEL / RIM SPINS!
This is not linked to the rotor in the self-winding, automatic, motion-powered movement. This is a SEPARATE device somehow mounted on a bearing within the watch.
Notice the black bezel ALSO has the vented brake-disc motif in it? That's LUXURY right there.
The case back reveals all sorts of tidbits. For example, the Tritnite marking. The lume on the hands and indices can best be described as lume. I tried to get a photo, but the black-hole in my living room seemed to suck the glow right out of the watch.
Under the weirdly applied case back window lies the NH35 movement. In this case, it has a METAS certificate and is running at +/- 0.0042 seconds per day, depending on the gravitational field of Neptune. That's what the sales guy told me. He also said I can use the flame-fusion crystal to focus sunlight into laser-beams.
All of this gorgeousness has a cost, of course. But that's the best part!
Msrp was about $1350, but because it's a limited edition, the price had risen to $10,350.
Anyway, the sales-guy said he liked me and offered me the watch at $350! I saved $10k...Score!
Anyway, just thought I'd brag about my EXCELLENT luck and cunning negotiation skills and share this with you all.
Thanks for reading.
I work in the Auto industry, I'm a musician for fun, and I dig watches.
Dude. Tuck it under your short sleeve when you're in LA or London. Be careful flaunting all of that wealth. Your rim starts spinning and the watch thief wheels start turning too.
This review is one of the best things I have ever read in my life. Reminds me of this Onion article:

The spinning rim is a nice touch 😂

It's got lo-jack!

The finest of alloys, I'm sure.
Funniest review I've read in a minute. LOL

'... This is our chance to make razor history'. Dig it!
Just like my rims
Gotta get me one❤💋❤❤
LMAO
Love the parody! Need the good humor!
Cheers!
Okay that was a great read, very amusing and informative at the same time.
I can’t imagine how they got an automatic movement plus a whole other spinning thing into just 17mm. And I can already hear the watch nerds whining about shirt cuffs, but the jokes on them. I tore the sleeves off all my shirts! Take that nerds!
Oh brother you need to get the following:
Those shoes had a rim that spin.
Jokes aside I do not find the watch to be offensive and quite attractive.
I'm going to believe @BrianE is completely sincere, and this is an honest review. Congrats on saving $10K on your grail watch.
You are the master of your fate;
You are the captain of your soul.
It's so smart and convenient they put treads on the strap so you know when it's time to change it. Hopefully the Swiss are paying attention here!
starts hacking to find location, we got a watch to....liberate

I like how you said “jokes aside” then made another joke. Classic.
Price is a bit steep, but I like it!
Spinning rim : Tick
Tyre strap : Tick
Crap load of personality : Tick
Slap it on your wrist and rock the Mad Max vibes.
The right person can make any watch cool.
After the desk divers comes the desk driver.
Hopefully thanks to the tyre band you won’t drift away😉
Great review👍
It's missing a spoiler and an 18" sub woofer!
I noticed that there is no air pressure valve, and therefore this watch will never be able to maintain correct air pressure - which I guess will eventually impact accuracy or cause you to drive into a ditch or both.
Congrats on the HUGE saving mate! Haven’t seen a better execution of a racing watch than this 😉
“the black-hole in my living room” is pure gold 😂👏👏👏👏👏👏
After creating the post, I wore it for the rest of the day.
😂...🤣...😭...got the 2 in 1 bracelet/ tred depth tool.

I wear my watch on my right wrist... It's so heavy that I can only make right hand turns.
Brilliant!

Probably QVC on this Invicta: 1 is 4 (buy them in sets of 4)
You had me at spinning rim....
Can you take it to Auto Zone when its time to have the rotor cut at about 25,000 hours ?
Dude! Sure it’s ok but what about the sexy girl mudflaps? Or garter for rear view mirror? Hilarious bumper sticker?
Gen 2 of this hottie got up it’s game to match my lowered civic!!!
