Daffy 105 Posted September 30, 2017 I found this poor watch sitting in a case at a local pawn shop. From the date codes on the price tag, it had been there for over 2 years. Which is why I got it under $30. It's now run over 52 hours on a single wind, and appears to be a 6497 variant. It's a spare movement at the very least for any of my closed back PAM's, since it keeps good time (-15ish seconds over those 52 hours). I wonder if I could get a Mickey to attach...

RepGuy 108 Posted September 30, 2017 Invicta is a sickness here. The large 55mm+ sizes Invicta routinely makes puts me off more than anything else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daffy 105 Posted September 30, 2017 This one is a 47mm (ish), so no different than the PAM's I wear. I would pay $28 all day long for good running 6497 movements. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GC 4,376 Posted September 30, 2017 So you bought a 6497 movement for $28... now throw the case and any reference to invicta in the bin. You've won Charlie !!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cvp3 2,099 Posted September 30, 2017 I've seen some really nice, automatic, fully detailed Invictas that just look beautiful. Then I realize it's a 55mm monster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SuperbMonster 4 Posted September 30, 2017 You bought a 6497 movement for $28, you didn't by an Invicta. Rinse Repeat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genius 281 Posted September 30, 2017 The case actually looks pretty decent too, with a nice pilot dial and matching hands you'll have a really nice watch for very little money Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cvp3 2,099 Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) Love this one. Green dial, gold diver with automatic movement. 52mm case set. Fuck. 49mm Edited October 1, 2017 by cvp3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dave47 6,412 Posted October 1, 2017 I LIKE INVICTA!! YOU MADE A GREAT PURCHASE! WELCOME TO THE DARK SIDE!! BBWWWHHHAAAAA!! Enjoy it. Like you, I detest the big monsters INVICTA sells; their "normal" sizes ARE attractive. I still like you, Daffy, heh! dAVE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daffy 105 Posted October 1, 2017 The movement seems to be a somewhat higher quality skeleton, than the normal chinese stamped bridge patterns. And the 47mm case is right in my wheelhouse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
