Invicta 1953: Smarter by the Second? (Review)

What HASN'T been said about Invicta? One of the rites of passage in this confounding hobby is dissing them and their propensity for oversized watches...

commented on Things watch collectors do and say that make you cringe. ·

A few choice quotes that grind my gears:

"Why isn't this 38/39mm?"

"Where's the sapphire crystal? *Insert sketchy Aliexpress brand* puts them on watches costing $50!"

"I love this watch, but I wish it had an automatic movement...quartz has no soul."

"Why would you buy a *insert desirable/expensive watch* when you could get a *insert another sketchy Chinese photocopy brand*? You get the same look and a Seiko NH35 with a ghost date for a fraction of the price!"

"The only digital/quartz watches worth buying are Casios."

"My watch has more horology than yours."

"Tudor is just Rolex for poor people."

"Grand Seiko? Why would I spend $3000 on a watch made by the same company that makes the SNK809?"

"Liking/buying Vostoks and Russian watches means that you're supporting Russia's invasion of Ukraine."

"Man, I'm so bummed out that my Submariner's clasp is scratched up from sitting at my desk; I'll never make any money off it now!"

commented on Do you want a watch you’d never wear? ·

I think the Swatch Sistem51 and the Tissot Swissmatic are kinda cool, but the knowledge that their movements are destined for the trash rubs me the wrong way. At least the Powermatics are serviceable in theory

Thanks for the shoutout!

commented on Brothers birthday present Hamilton PSR ·

Great choice, the PSR's like a crossbreed between a Casio and an Oyster Perpetual

commented on You're stuck on a desert island with a mechanical watch. What movement do you pick over the others, and why? ·

A Vostok 2416b.

commented on Stauer - The Daily Chronograph Review ·

Stauer is like Invicta and Stührling without any of the (let's face it, very few) things people like about those two brands. They steal old people's Social Security benefits by lying to them via their magazine advertisements; these guys have the balls to insinuate their Timemaster Piezo invented quartz timekeeping

commented on Help me decide! ·

I ended up getting the PSR, I honestly wanna go on a mechanical watch diet
