Invicta Steel 38mm Vintage (Retro) Automatic Men's Watch Review
I posted this watch today for my WRUW and was asked for some input which I did. But I thought I'd post a quick review. So here you go.
Model 39974
It was 39.99 on Sale from 329.00 So a Huge savings that I couldn't pass up!🤣
Now honestly if any micro or mainstream brand produced this watch with the same specs. It probably would be around 200-300.00 So while inflated list prices are a norm with Invicta and a dark shadow that looms over them. It's not over the top crazy.
What is Crazy is that someone is selling watches with a NH35A movement for 39.99
Steel case and Bracelet
It's an NH35A Automatic movement with hand winding. So far it has operated flawlessly.
Flame Fusion Crystal (Mineral Crystal) with sunburst dial surround insert
marked "Super Water Proof 3ATM" 30mm on the polished case back (not a screw down crown)
Image of a women in Deep Contemplation etched into the polished case back. Looks like she's thinking of ways to kill her husband for buying too many watches.
The one issue with it is, when the hour begins to jump. You have about 10-15 minutes between hours. You can see the edge of both hour sets as they transition. So doesn't truly "Jump" To next hour in just a few minutes.
18mm Bracelet and clasp are what you would expect for the price. However It's fairly reflective of what would have been issued with it in the 70's
18mm lug width so would be fun to put any 70's ish strap on it.
They come in a couple other color variants as well. 39.00 - 69.99
For the price it's absolutely worth it! It's a Fun, Funky Retro watch! My plan was to put a alligator skin strap on it the minute I got it. But it just feels at home on the bracelet. so I'm just. going to wear it this way for awhile.
I hope that helps if you're interested in this watch. This is my first review so If there's something I didn't touch on please feel free to ask.
I made a post just recently about some other interesting Invicta's that I had found. Check em' out👌

Yes
No
- Great Fun Funky 70's Retro Style
- Inexpensive
- NH35A Automatic movement
- Unique
- Hour starts to transition a little slow as opposed to a quick jump
- Clasp is about as bad as they get but tolerable for the price
Things I like: Warm Socks, Cold Cookies and Watches of all types, shapes, makes and sizes. However I do have a soft spot for watches from the 60's-70's Things I'm not fond of: Wet Socks, No Cookies an...
A NH35A you say? I wonder just how is it Invicta can eat the loss. What, did they have a couple of warehouse full of the case or something?

Right! when I do a search to just buy the movement. They run around 45-50.00 at the bottom end
I love this watch. Thanks for posting.
Can I ask where you found that piece for $40?
