Go for it; it’s a very solid watch.

I've not had great luck with my 2 Invicta purchases.

If you don't already have one, I'd recommend the Casio Duro over the PD.

Im very happy with mine and it gets the most compliments of my collection,.

I modded many back Pro Divers back in the day and can't fault them.

The movement, hands, dial, bezel/insert are all excellent quality. I also wouldn't bother with upgrading the crystal to sapphire as mineral has superior light transmission which means better clarity and contrast on a black and white watch like this.

If you're going to go to the trouble of switching the crystal you might as well just swap in a new mineral one when needed. They cost literally cents rather than the tens of dollars needed for a sapphire with half decent antireflective coating, i.e. coating that improves light transmission rather than providing teenage gamer-style light effects with blue/green/orange reflections.

The case is also well put together on these. Some complain that the brushing of the steel is a bit rough. Though if you're going to use this for its progenitor's original purpose - a tool watch - it'll pick up scratches so fast the case finishing will rapidly become irrelevant.

Also sensibly priced. Go for it.

Completely agree with @UnholiestJedi. If you’re looking for alternatives, the Casio Duro represents a much better value proposition. Add a good quality third party bracelet and you have a winner.

Here’s my Casio “Duro/Marlin” Royal Blue Dial\Royal Blue Bezel (MDV106B-2AV) on an Islander 22mm “oyster-style” SS bracelet (BRAC-74).

Great watch for the money. Got mine for $62 on Amazon. A decent movement that will last a long time. Go for it. You will not be disappointed.
