Thread: What types of watches do you like?

Don't get me started on Invicta.

The original company back in the 1850s made a great watch. (It was a Swiss Company). The current outfit a few years ago made some models that were Swiss Made and those like their Swiss Diver and the Rolex Daytona wannabe were both fantastic watches for the money and were a steal. I had both.

Otherwise their typical watches are assembled in Panama (as I recall) and have mostly Chinese Mvmts.

Your wrong Big, the junk they make is from China or Maylaysia. You have to be careful when you have buy one. They still make some nice watches but they also make junk. But if you read the description before you buy any of them you can still find some good ones, also I haven't bought one in a while.
But this was one of the best deals they have ever had.

Yea, several years ago they made primo quality Swiss made pieces. Like I said I had the Swiss Diver and the Speedway and they were fantastic bargains for the price. But that was then. Of course they bought out Glycine and a few others so maybe those are better I don't know. I think all their current Swiss Made pieces are Quartz.

You also have to be careful about "Swiss Made" cause a number of outfits play fast and loose to just meet the requirements. Swiss Tech is a prime example. A Chinese outfit who ships parts to their factory in Switzerland and assembly and timing happen in Switzerland and you have a "Swiss Made" watch.
