Invicta Or Pagani Design?
So what is most people's opinion on Invicta these days? Currently I've been trying to make a decision between the Invicta 1953 or a Pagani design PD-1671 Both seem to look similar in terms of quality from the photos I have seen and both use a seiko NH35 movement. So I'm having a hard time deciding on which to pick. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I own a PD-1671:
I like the watch ... but given a choice between the PD-1671 and the 1953, I'd go for the Invicta as it nails the vintage Diver vibe better than the Pagani ... my $0.02 😀
Definitely gonna Go with the Invicta then thank you everyone for your help!
Invicta
I have a few Pagani Design watches with Seiko movements. Excellent budget watches for the money. I like being able to try out the case look and feel of the watches they are imitating for a small price. My only complaints would be the occasional sharp edge, and dive bezels are a touch loose for my preference. But with a great assortment of styles at roughly $100 it’s been worth it.
Invicta 9937. Only! Otherwise, neither!
Invicta surely
It would be Invicta for me it’s more its own thing yes I do now it’s a homage/ copy of a old submariner but it’s not obvious to the average person not wanting to sound like a snob but I don’t see the point in getting a copy of a Tudor that you can easily buy the real thing yes they are expensive but you can save up and get the real thing but saying all that I do like how PD has a date then the reel one don’t
Since Invicta has actual history and heritage and Pagani doesn’t… I think the choice is easy (and since Invicta also rescued Glycine from going away…)
I'd go for a San Martin BB homage before PD or Invicta.
Brand aside, between these 2 watches, I think the Invicta looks better.
I'd take an Invicta over a Pagani any day.
Pagani. Like the bezel insert better. But which one is cheaper? Invicta still has that offer "get 4 pay 1"?
Between these 2, go with the Invicta. It's a more cohesive design.
If you’re looking for a BB58 homage, I’d look at San Martin or Cronos before either of those options.
Invicta 1953 Series of watches is hands down some of the best dive watches in the under $150 range.
Of the two, I'd go 1953.
Both offer excellent specs for the cost.
I have a few PDs in my collection & while I do like them alot, one area they fall way short is lume.
I have to think Invicta has them beat here (it shouldn't be hard).
PD does chronographs very well, but for a diver I'd look elsewhere.
Get the Invicta, it’s on Amazon right now for $113
I would get the invicta any day of the week
Tudor
I recommend looking at San Martin because they produce high quality watches compared to Pagani design. I have three Pagani designs in my collection I like they but they have their pitfalls.
I would prefer Invicta If I cant buy Tudor☺️
