Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk Thanks, only took me about 5 tries to get it looking decent. Do not drink coffee and lume! A pint or two is ideal to calm the hands . The lume is a bit orange to my eyes, but I can't be bothered to do it over again. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dave47 6,477 Posted June 8, 2021 Hi, Gang! Welcome to a new week! May it be fruitful and peaceful to you all. Today, I'm showing off this newly arrived "rare" INVICTA 1953 submariner (#31290). After an intense workout with the link pins that didn't want to come out, I finally adjusted it to be snug fit I like on my bracelet watches. The dial make up does resemble the older Rolex Sub (#5512, I believe), the seconds hand travels smoothly around the dial, its motor, a Seiko N35A works perfectly, and the lume is all right; at $147 (including shipping and tax) it's the most I've ever spent on an IN VICTA. After all the press and celebitory media coverage. I knew it was a watch I really wanted to add to my INVICTA collection. dave: 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
