    I have the 40mm version. And it's my beater watch. Great watch especially for the price.

  • @TheFlyrodder68
    @TheFlyrodder68 3 года назад +27

    The logo engraving is not that big of a deal once you're wearing the watch. For the money, a Pro Diver is still a legit budget-friendly timepiece worth considering. The NH35A is the main reason IMHO. It's a very reliable, proven, and easy to regulate movement.

      I just got the Invicta Pro Diver 8928OB for $45 on Amazon. 😁 Seiko NH35A movement in a watch looking this nice, for $45? Total steal. 😁

    All a matter of taste. I l i k e the brand engraving. Its not too big. Blancpain, Breitling and Hamilton do this as well. I like the see through caseback with the NH 35A branding on the yellow rotor very much. Cool. I like the watch. Its a great watch for its price point.

    The problem I have with the other submariner homages is that they are 40mm just like the submariner, I have this in the Black and the Teal/blue 42mm with the NH35A and it just looks better at 42mm.. its very comfortable and looks great!

    I think the actual jubilee bracelet itself is better than the SKX in terms of weight and finish. Obviously the hollow end links, pressed clasp and lack of screwed links are in common with the SKX.
    Are you sure it's a sapphire Crystal?

    My Invicta 29179, speeds about 3 secs/12 hours, and when I go to sleep I leave it on a table dial up and it backs down 3 secs/12 hours. So I may say that the watch is 0 secs/day?

    I really like my 42mm. Its just the right size. Runs good enough. It is NOT a $100+ watch. I paid 87. I expected the weight to be more than it is, but oh well. And the shitty Jubilee bracelet is an insult. Threw a bond nato on it and am happy with it.

    On the other side of the pricing you have brands that place a 3,4k watch at 10k. Sooo what's the difference? A 10k + sub no where worth that. Advertising, trend, illusion.

    The watch collecting fraternity is full of snobs, most watch manufacturers have a sub in their line up, in fact it makes me laugh because I was in a jewellers while on holiday a few years ago and I was wearing my seiko sea urchin and the owner asked if it was a rolex!!! Funny how people don't call seiko for there homages to the rolex subs!!! The Pro Diver actually has a better movement than the sea urchin as is the 35a which has hacking. Comparing the case quality the invicta also has the better finish over the sea urchin too.

This one isn't bad and if I'm looking at it objectively for 90 bucks it's a starting point for someone's collection I would say... However there probably are better places to start like I mentioned that Pagani design 60 bucks...
