othniel888 0 Posted February 15, 2011 Anybody have feedback on Swisslegend and/or Invicta brand. How about worldofwatches.com? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 83 Posted February 15, 2011 Some Invictas are okay, some are fairly crappy. Buy cheap. Swisslegend look similar - ignore the RRPs as they're artificially inflated. These are low-end Chinese-built watches in the main. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These are low-end Chinese-built watches in the main. Thanks for the reply, that's about what I figured. I see a brand called Orient on Amazon that looks better. I'm mainly looking at Submariner/Daytona type homages right now ($100-$200 range). Suggestions??? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 83 Posted February 15, 2011 Orient make some decent watches - the couple I've had through my hands have been pretty okay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did a little research on Orient...they are owned by Seiko now...they use Seiko movement in their Quartz designs, but make their own automatic movements in-house.

Member X 91 Posted February 16, 2011 Really? That's quite good, assuming they're highbeat movements and not cheapy movements lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
othniel888 0 Posted February 16, 2011 Really? That's quite good, assuming they're highbeat movements and not cheapy movements lol A little further research reveals the Orient automatic is 6bps (like Seiko) instead of 8bps. The Orient is a non-hacking and no manual wind, the newer Seiko is hack/manual wind. Thanks for your replies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
