This Invicta 1953 was gifted to me by my YouTuber Jeremy @OldLineWatches . I was having some serious financial trouble and had to sell my last Diver, and he was kind enough to send me this at no cost. It's been a damn good watch too! I work in it and it's still in excellent condition. It also keeps time very well. Thanks again my friend! This will never leave the collection!

I have to honestly say, nove owned 2 other Invictas in the past, and they were actually the same watch. I ordered the first one from Amazon and immediately the crown must have cross-threaded or it was just getting really grainy and hard to screw down to the point where it was rubbing blisters on my thumb and forefinger trying to screw it down so I return the watch or for a replacement. I got an identical replacement and had the exact same problem with the crown threads The watch would not seal all the way to the case and the crown threads were hard to screw down and the bezel would barely turn. But this 1953 has performed as well as any Seiko I've ever owned. The bezel action Is superb, but the insert is a hair off center. The crown and threads function perfectly consistently and I think I helped with a Little o-ring grease and some waxed dental
floss. The bracelet is absolutely great except for the pressed clasp, I always prefer ailled class but for the price you're paying it's a very good bracelet. And in my personal opinion, the finishing is perfectly fine for a $80-$100 watch far exceeds a comparable brand like Pagani design
