I can't even tell you how many times I've looked at that watch. A week or so back I found a site that had a smokin hot deal on it and still didn't pull the trigger. Is the face the same shade of orange as the band? In all Invictas stock photos, the orange seems different.
Great looking watch man.

I only have a cheap Fossil watch, love your nice watches fellas! Always wanted to have a nice watch collection but still can't justify spending that kind of money on one, gorgeous though. Bobby that strap is very good looking brother!!!

Some paisley tooling on dark brown leather would look real unique and "British" to go with your brand's namesake. Is that a on piece of leather of two bonded together? Hard to tell in picture

Yes. There is one that actually has a red face but this is the one that is all orange. My wife picked it out because I have most other colors. It looks amazing in person so next time grab one.

Gotta decide if this is my next new watch. Love it in the two-tone, but can't find any easily postable pics (but not in love with the leather band on the two-tone).

Yachmaster II, I think is Rolex most new compelling model in a long time. I do like GMT's and Rolex has done a good job with them over the years.

Will post more pics if/when that happens. For now, though, I am really enjoying this watch as-is.

Ok. After taking much longer than I anticipated to get the new dial and hands, the conversion is done:

Ok guys, figured i'd ask you.
My brother is currently over in SE Asia and just sent me an email asking if I wanted a "replica". Now, finances preclude me from getting the actual watch I want (Cartier Tank) but as a replica...$30. Actually, any watch is $30.
So, the question for you guys......if money was no object....say you won the powerball...... What watch, or watches, would you want to have?

I would love to get a Breitling Bentley. I love that crisscross bezel design.

I wouldn't go with a cheap replica. It won't last. The good reps out of asia are still in the hundreds of dollars. Much cheaper than the gens that are thousands, but sill expensive. The expensive reps will generally last longer though.
