I bought #421 and had to take it to a jeweler for sizing. One day of wearing the

watch, the pin next to the case fell out. I took it back to the jeweler athe bracelet was fixed. I have worn it for two weeks and it works fine. It occurred to me that this may be the most controversial watch Invicta has ever made that I know

of, making it more valuable. Enjoy yours.

Toolman, Glad you hung in there and were patient. I was lucky and got a good one right off the bat, and like you said, it is now my favorite. You don't see any of them kicking back on the Shop Invicta Page, and I don't think you ever will. The guys who grabbed them knew what they

had. Good luck with it!

Well stated as usual Larry! It is getting out of control and hopefully it will be cleared up very soon. DD has their rep but Invicta has to protect their rep too. I think future sales may depend on it. A rep is a very important thing to have in the watch industry.

Aah, one of the great Invicta mysteries. Stay tuned! Maybe your question will be answered. Or maybe not.

All the DD Speedways have the same problem they just haven't manifested themselves yet. Anyone who has one and doesn't send it in for repairs is asking for trouble down the line.

Just a fluke .............. now that's funny

I will very surprised if Invicta doesn't issue a total recall !!!!

My point is WG's shouldn't be stating it's a "fluke" as they might steer sodirection.

We all need to wait for Invicta. Congrats on your 5 years but what does that have to do with anything other than your ego?
