InvictaMen's Speedway Collection Stainless Steel Watch

I have always wanted a Rolex Daytona. However, $15,000 was a little out of my price range. While searching a Daytona on Amazon this item came up. I took a look, and it did appear pretty good. Not a Rolex, as expected.I took a flyer, simply to see it in person. How could a watch that costs $75 be in any way satisfactory?The Invicta that arrived is far beyond anything I could expect for the price. I've always dismissed Invicta watches as being crude and not worthy of consideration.The watch that arrived is amazing. Right, it isn't a Rolex. However, it is exactly the same in size and weight, and the finish, gold bracelet, gold bezel, everything is correct. I have owned a Rolex. This is as close as anything to the real thing.I'm really particular about what I wear, and I'm proud to wear this watch.The dial is perfectly rendered. The gold is bright and everything I could want it to be. The bezel is beautifully crafted, and looks exactly like the Rolex.However, the stop watch function is not in any way usable. The sweep second hand is exactly that, a second hand. It doesn't function as a stop watch second hand. The small dials function as the stop watch. They simply don't work as you would expect. And the Hour dial works as a 24 hour dial. Fine, as long as you know what to expect.I LOVE this watch. But it is all show and no go, so to speak. It's all about wearing it and loving looking at it. If you're looking for a functional stop watch, this isn't it. But how many Daytona owners actually use the stop watch function?If you want a Daytona but don't want to spend $15,000, buy this watch. You will NOT be disappointed. It's accurate, beautiful and a pleasure to own.I suppose it will show wear in a few years, but then I can buy around 250 of these for the price of one Daytona.This watch blows me away, I own collectible Seiko titanium, Omega, Tag Heuer, etc. I'm amazed and astounded by this watch.If you wear this watch your biggest problem will be in explaining to people that it isn't actually a Rolex.

First off its an Invitca. It costs under $100. It is a homage to a Rolex and not a competitor to Rolex. If you want a high end watch similar to a Rolex this is NOT it. You should probably look elsewhere or just get the Rolex.Now, with that settled, this is a very nice homage watch. I would say it is your "standard" Invicta quality if not slightly higher. If you hate Invictas then you will probably hate this watch. If you love Invictas then you will probably love this watch. If you have no idea what the controversy is over the love/hate relationship with Invictas and just want a cheap but nice looking watch, buy this one.I won't repeat what other reviews have stated. But will point out two things. First, the chronograph "crowns" are also screw down. That doesn't bug me but makes it hard to use that function while it is on your wrist. I guess you could just keep those unscrewed but that is going to negate the waterproofing. How many times do you really need to use the chronograph functions though, anyhow? So not a big thing. Second, there are a few reviews mentioning the tachymeter on the bezel being worthless since the second hand keeps actual time and isn't a part of the chronograph function. If these people would also just look at the bezel they would see that the units on the tachymeter are in UNITS PER HOUR, not second or minute. (Anyway who even uses the tachymeter feature anyhow...but if you are going to complain about it at least check the units before doing so.)In short, nice watch. Grab it if want something that looks nice but doesn't cost thousands of dollars.

A high quality, quartz movement with screw down back and screw down crowns on the side of the watch. Feels great and looks great but if you have a large wrist it will look petite go bigger. Otherwise I highly recommend this hard to find model from INVICTA!

I have been a fan of Invicta watches for a long time, they are good quality watches (for the money), their automatic with NH35A is a monster of a machine, so I decided to try this one, I like the weight, the feel and the looks, the screw down buttons is a plus to avoid water leakage - overall the watch meets my expectations for the price, lumen and crystal have been, to me, a downside, but then again, for the price we are paying, what do you expect - nice watch, inexpensive, great gift
