Wish these Invictas were not basically free after shipping and handling. $55 with 2 day shipping on prime. I can't buy the damn movement for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NCRich 13,746 Posted August 15, 2017 Yeah, whoever built this in the beginning did this relatively well. The movement is good, kinda like a tank. They really don't require much. And the power reserve on these is awesome. Whoever built this didn't know lume (well at least on hands) . So I will do that. Pretty bad scratches on the plexi (already taken care of). No one cares about the bracelet. Its ok for this. Might go for a folded one. Gotten kind of fond of those. Any how.....very good pickup. Case and movement would have run more than this. And I would have had to do something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BM284 1,518 Posted August 15, 2017 Nice to see the Explorer on your wrist Rich - looks very nice indeed I have to agree that the hands would look better if matched to the dial - look forward to seeing the end result! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
