The one with the black face (though it ought to have a black strap to match).
Thinking about this for a Christmas pressie...

Invicta seems to be well liked, but will this be worth a go?

The autos generally have seiko NH35 movements so they're decent value & keep time well.
Is the one you posted an automatic / mechanical watch or a quartz / battery?
It's a quartz jobbie. Saw it on the Ebay. Coming from US for about £108 including the postage.
Only got one Invicta quartz but it's fine. You can pull the crown out when you're not wearing it and effectively switch the watch off conserving the battery.Quote:

Not sure about the hands on the sterile one, though it's a nice face...Quote:

I have the opposite preference: in the words of the architect Mies van der Rohre "The less is more".

And with my admiration for elegant looking minimalist designs, I rather fancy the re-launch of 1977 Les Must de Cartier (as an evening watch of course)

Needs some batons for points of reference I think.Quote:

I still have a very similar Timex somewhere that belonged to my grandfather - he died in 1978, no idea how long he had owned it. Is that a vintage one Roy, or something newer? I like it very much, classy.Quote:

Retro design but probably larger than the original at 40mm. Got mine pre-owned off ebay at a good price & I've changed the gold mesh strap for a more understated black leather one.
I agree the strap you’ve put on is MUCH better. Love it. :)Quote:

Yes, I like the look of the black Timex.
Incidently my first wristwatch was a Timex. Think I was 7 or 8 years old at the time.
I suspect there could be quite a few of us here for whom that could be said.!Quote:

First digital I came across was when my father bought one of the early LCD watches, although Swiss made I later discovered the brains were made by the Hughes Corporation.!Quote:

Got this for my 18th birthday, some 44 years ago and it's still going strong
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...ffc120de_h.jpg
I think around the same time I got my first LCD watch, I know this would fire up ok if I put a battery in it

That looks like a market stall special from when I was a kid.Quote:

Invicta 'Daytona' (Amazon BF)
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...9b4e0fa1_o.jpg
i liked look of that daytona.
It's actually called a 'Speedway' but it looks almost identical to a Rolex Daytona (but then so do most three register watches).Quote:
