Love this. I got my 8926 with the coin edge bezel in early 2009. I was in the Navy, deployed to Iraq with my Marines and my Casio Gshock LCD stopped working from the heat I guess. I dug my invicta prodiver from my pack and wore it. Broke the band and put it on a NAR turniquette and wore it the rest of the deployment. Chipped the cyclops, scratched the hell out of it worked flawlesly. Here we are, 14 years later and I still put it on and take it out for a good beating.

People can be snobs if they want, but my Invicta Pro Diver is probably the BEST VALUE of the 36 watches I own. If you think their huge, garish watches are tacky, don't buy them! Apparently, somebody buys them. Difficult to imagine, but yes...

what's the most expensive watch that you currently own? (asking for a friend).

[@daleyfamily2179]

No such thing as a watch snob, everyone has different opinions on watch's, differing opinions doesn't make you a snob. I have seen low end watch buyers be some of the biggest snobs by putting people down who will only buy high end. Goes both ways. I have watch's from $5k to $30 Casio.

I am truly loving what you bring to the table in watch youtube land. I have a 1953 in my collection and I had a prodiver, but I got the model with the SW200 movement. No regrets and do not care what anyone things. I also love the point you made about respecting them more than san martin. Great point! Keep on keeping on. It is a good perspective you often have.

[@cheapwatchman_official]

thanks for the kind words

[@albertsmith9315]

Also a military to civilian guy myself, retired Air Force. I bought the current Invicta Pro Diver watch last year during a Prime Day special for $59... ridiculously cheap considering that I have straps that cost that much. I was quite surprised by the quality for the price. I shook my watch for a week before I discovered that it had hand winding. It also hacks, which is a must have for me. The level of accuracy is equal to or better than many of my multi-hundred dollar watches from the big named companies. If I could change one thing, it would be to get rid of that garish "INVICTA" etched into the side... a little too much "look at me" for my taste, but for the price it's a small sacrifice. Anyone that laughed at these watches without actually seeing one should do the sub-hundred dollar experiment and own a true no cares adventure watch that you can freely wear in hazardous conditions without fear. I have no regrets from my $60 investment.

My Invicta Ghost Diver from 2003 runs a Miyota, still going strong. Two decades, zero complaints.

[@RabbitWatchShop]

I’ve modded, sold, destroyed and gifted many 40mm automatic Invicta Pro Divers. My first automatic was an auto pro diver - purchased in 2009. I was not aware the Submariner existed at the time. I loved the submariner design language. Several years ago, it was extremely difficult to find a better value packed watch under $100. The Chinese have caught up. While these are great, the Invicta 1953 released in 2020 is a better watch. I have both. Despite owning watches that cost a lot more, I will always have one in my collection.

I actually just modded a steel dive sub clone. was a lot of fun. white dial with black markers and new pilot style handset. looks cool.

Nice review! When I was going for the submariner look on a beer budget in 2010, I ended up getting the Invicta 9937OB - the version with the sapphire crystal and the Swiss Sellita SW200 movement. I've replaced the aluminum bezel insert a number of times, and I've brushed the bracelet with green Scotchbrite several times. 13 years later that watch is still going strong - it looks great, keeps solid time, and it still has a decent power reserve. I've got no regrets about buying it.

I consider myself very lucky to have some expensive pieces, but it is really hard to argue with the value for money that the Pro Diver gives you. I have three Pro Divers and I look and them and think - "Just.....How???" They will go for years and years.

I love my 2 pro divers. Looking for a couple 12hr dual time bezels to put on them. My friend and parter in the fly fishing shop we own is a Rolex/Casio guy. I went in to the shop when I got the black Invicta diver and called out to Richie at the back of the shop “hey I got a Rolex” while holding my wrist up. He couldn’t tell until he got about 20’ away that it was a Invicta.

Bought this watch yesterday in Amazons sale (Model # 9094OB, Im told the OB stand for old bezel!). Paid £55.40 so around $72 I believe, its my first Invicta watch but I couldnt resist it at the sale price. It looks great although I put it straight on a rubber strap as I just dont get on with bracelets, I just hope it lasts as long as yours has. Nice review my friend, so I subscribed.

[@davem6442]

I have an 8926 that I got in 2008. It has the SII NH25 movement. In 2019 it started to run slow and I tweaked the adjustment. Still runs well, no service since its more for that than buying another. The watch that bugs me is my Heuer 844 Monnin French made that needs to be serviced once again. The last time a "certified" Rolex service center cleaned and adjusted it and it only stayed running for 2 years after that. Incredible that the Invicta seems like a better value considering the price and how it runs despite my neglect.

Wearing my Pro Diver 8926 (basically the same as yours but with the TMI movement) as I'm watching this. I find it fascinating that this brand has been around since 1837, that's much longer than most swiss brands, preceeding Rolex by 71 years! That alone is reason to proudly wear one of these and not listen to the snobs. Nice relaxed video, yet again.

[@MrBacchus18]

The current watch doesn’t resemble the original Invicta. It was bought in the 90s and started pumping out oversized ugly watches. And homages. I’m not hating I own an Invicta 1953

[@dereinzigeweg]

​@@MrBacchus18But it still is an Invicta. Yes, they produce mostly disgusting pieces nowadays, but their heritage still stands as a testament for good watchmaking. And that goes back almost two centuries. There is a lot more history in Invicta's horology to look back to than current ugly models can ever screw up.

@@cheapwatchman_official If you can find a watchmaker, perhaps a hobbyist that won't charge too much. You get into a situation where many watchmakers will say how much cheaper it would be to just replace the watch. I do understand why you don't want to lose the watch. Subbed.

[@thewhalenorman]

@@zumalot how bad is the situation with cheap watch service in the US? In Moscow it'll be about 40-50$ for full repassage (not in a fancy service centre, but still) and nearly anyone won't refuse servicing Seiko, Miyota, Orient movements. Just curious

[@zumalot]

@@thewhalenorman I cannot find a watchmaker in my area except jewelry stores, at least who I would trust breaking down/re-assembling any of my watches. The quick answer is "I don't know". My next service will be headed off to Omega for a "speedy" service. I'm guessing $700-$1000, but have not checked for alternatives. I once trusted a very nice older gentleman, self taught, with a glowing reputation. $250 for a full Rolex DJ service. The watch still runs, but sometimes the stem positions is not exact for manual winding, setting date (quickset). You get what you pay for I suppose. A jewelry store watchmaker charged $750 for another Rolex DJ. $300 for a vintage Seiko with probably a $25 auto movement, but there was sentimental value involved, rare dial..etc. I'll never go back because of a very nice 1966 Breitling Top Time. $800 + given back to me with a big crack on the crystal and he acted like I wasn't going to see it. He did fix it after a few encouraging words from me. One really needs to perform a hard target search within the states for great/cheaper service. Sorry, I'm not much help. Didn't mean to write a book here and thanks for stopping by, friend.

They are one of the biggest watch sellers in the world. For the money they simply can't be beaten. Everyone likes to talk about the comically large watches, the whimsical kids watches like "Joker"... They make watches for everyone in every shape and size and price point. I own about 30 of them and they're all great. They also don't gouge people like "luxury" brands do. The only time you should pay a premium for something is if it does something better. Luxury watches don't look better, keep time better... You're paying to have your ego stroked.

[@freemanwest]

I want to buy the quartz version of this watch as my first "nice" watch. Didn't really wear watches before probably used to have a couple 10 dollar ones ages ago. The thing is I almost feel bad for wanting to buy an Invicta because apparently everyone hates this brand in watches community for reasons I can't understand. Also I feel like people would judge me for wanting the quartz one. I just don't want to set the time every once in a while because I'm not gonna wear it everyday and I want it to be accurate all the time. Is this even bad? I'm really passionate about watches but gatekeeping sometimes feels overwhelming and not fun at all.

[@dgillies5420]

Originally the 8926OB Invicta watch looked so similar to a ROLEX that Rolex forced Invicta to add large "Invicta" engraving on the side ... Those early ones without engraving were Miyota but the NH35A version is much better (hacking, windable) and the seiko NH35A movement is as good or better than citizen/miyota and has the much cooler gold engraved flywheel ...

A new movement is an easy swap if you are a little skilled. About 30/40 dollars for a new Miyota.

I really don’t like Invicta and disagree with you on San Martin…but…the fact that thing made 18 years and is still kicking says something. Pretty cool…

[@cheapwatchman_official]

I've bought 4 san martins. 2 were good. 1 had a terrible bezel misalignment and one had terrible finishing on the sides of the case. I've spent nearly a grand with them and their track record isn't great with me. I know they have a solid fan base and I can see why. I actually took off the bracelet from the Tudor clone and put it on my omega seamaster. that bracelet was borderline rolex quality. then I get another one in and its bracelet had sharp edges. not enough consistent QC for me to support the brand with full confidence. But if you've had good luck I am very happy. I think in a year if they keep pursuing original designs and clean up their QC then they'll be a formidable force and a legit micro brand. I've had 3 Phoibos watches in costing slightly more and they walk all over San Martin from a design, finishing, and QC standpoint. Just my experience though.

(i expect that for him, it might be to expensive to take it to a jeweler on a philippine income.) but yeah.... so what if Invicta makes a lot of crazy watches. maybe they don't even sell, and are like models going down the runway... just showing off deign tech skill.

[@JuanPerez-sv8qs]

What you pay for a watch has absolutely nothing to do on the actual quality of the item as a time telling tool. I have a 30 year old Citizen quartz (analog chronograph) and a 24 years old Casio quartz (analog+digital). The Citizen was a $150 new and the Casio cost the outrageous fortune of $35. The only service these have received over the decades are new batteries and new straps. Both are still running. One hand on the Citizen chronograph doesn’t work. Of course the better watch is the Casio. 100% of its features and functions still work. The Citizen runs at +2 seconds per month. The Casio runs at -1.5 seconds per month. My Omega Seamaster came after these two…and now is long gone…
