Why The Eyesores?

A lot of us question why Invicta makes watches in styles that can gently be called 'out there'. I think I have three reasons.

Have you seen Raiders fans? The watch would be the least of the problems. 😂

To compete against this eyesore.

Someone’s buyin, so someone’s gotta make ‘em.

Some of them are out there no doubt.

Someone had to make 'em first. But yes

What came first, the bad taste or the bad watch? 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Some kind of blingy feedback loop lol

When they were still in Oakland I sometimes had to take BART by the stadium on game day. It was like I experienced an alternate reality. That being said, my wife and I have also called an ambulance for a Steeler's fan who had spent the night at just about freezing temperatures on a bench by the Allegheny.

It’s crazy how there’s a small group that love these eye popping watches. I’m not a big fan with logos extreme on watches either. The diver homages are not bad 39-42mm the limit for me. I own 1953 love it. They always gonna take it to another level.

Yikes, I guess it just goes to illustrate that 'fan' is simply short for 'fanatic'.

I mean, a bit of a humble brag here, but Invicta does a much better job on my hometeam’s RM homage…

A man eats a cheap watch,

a Mr. T starter kit,

and some NFL memorabilia.

Then vomits...

They can't be serious... The MSRP on this one is $1100 maple dollars. Reduced to $180 maples dollars and there was a little window that said you could get an extra 35% off.

$180 maple dollars is just under $134 in bald eagle money.

They actually had a venom version that I wanted to get but I never pulled the trigger

It's because normal people buy them. (Normal as in "not watch people"). They're not a dumb company. They're a very profitable business, in fact.

Invicta isn't for us. That's they they bought Glycine. Glycine is for us.

Glycine is how Invicta is catering to the watch community.

Brilliant...

I'd say keep your money. You might find it somewhere later down the road pre-owned with and additional discount.

Even hard core invicta collectors don't like every model. Personally I like the Gladiator. Is it a daily wear? No of course not. There is a lifestyle that fits these watches, spawning collections in the hundreds for many individuals.

Most watches look like plastic shit in press photos. Not until you see it in regular light on a wrist does it make sense.

I get that not every model of a brand is liked by everyone, but I'm just not a fan of Invicta any longer. Especially the crazy stuff.

I got you buddy. Everybody doesn't have to like everything. I'm just defending those who do like them.
