Invicta Watches

Fatbiker

Tried to tag this query onto the ebay fakes thread but no replies.

I notice a few Invicta watches in auction on eBay at less than €125. These same models also appear on discount sites for $99 claiming RRPs of $595 etc.

What is the story with Invicta? Most look ghastly imo but I was bidding on more muted models.

Sounds like one of those brands you often see in the back of US magazines, where the "RRP" is a complete invention, just to claim huge warehouse discounts especially for you!!. They tend to be tat FB even at the "sale" price. IMH you'd be better off looking at a better known brand at a slight discount from the actual RRP and within your budget.

Hi,

I don`t think the indicated RRP is the real RRP. Can`t imagine who would buy that watch for that price. It sounds like a marketing gimmick to me. But if you like the watch buy it. Invicta is know for `borrowing` design elements from other makers, but their quality is OK. probably Myota movements.

Check this link, there is a few lines about their history...
