What's the movement on the Omega? Is that an acrylic lense?

Omega c.861. Same one they've used for 30+ years after they switched from the c.321--though I don't think there's much difference between the two. And yeah, acrylic.

I lied to myself and convinced me that I was good. Got a heck of a discount on it. I shop around big time before buying and I got $189 off the normal retail market price not MSRP.
My favorite new watch. Only one I am currently wearing now. I just love the look of it.

Can someone give me their opinion on Swiss Legend? Saw one on sale, same price as an Invicta on sale. Debating on which one I want when I lose my initial 20 lbs as a reward.

I have both, the Swiss Legend has a more supple polyurethane strap...if the one you're looking for has a poly strap. Between the two, I bought on Swiss Legend and in most cases will not go back to them. That being said, for me, I like the heft and weight of Invicta, the Swill Legend are no where near as solid or heavy. So, it will depend on what YOU'RE looking for in your watch.

When you lose a watch where do you usually find it?

Jasonw560 10:00 PM 02-02-2012
The last place I saw it.
But this is 20 pounds I am losing. Not planning on losing this watch.
Wade, I am looking for something....substantial. Good size and heft to it.

Jason, if you have a Sams club or Costco near you, you can look at one there. Invicta has twice the heft that Swiss Legend has. Don't get me wrong, I like a lot of the SL designs, but they just dont compare to the Invicta for feel. I think JC Penny carries Invicta too.

Last place I saw it was on my wrist.

I will definitely take a look at Sam's and at JCP, Wade. Thanks.

Wade, if you're still on that Invicta kick, Shop NBC is having their Invicta hour right now.

Did you find anything? I REALLY like that Leviathan.
I couldn't watch it all...one of my boys felt sick, had to take care of him.

Cant say I am a collector but I have a few watches. A Seiko pre-kinetic years watch, Guess water sport pro stainless, and an Invicta chronograph. These range from 16 yrs old down to 2 and all keep great time.
