How many Invictas in total do you have?

I bet you'd find long lost watches all over your house if you had a good look

12 invictas, mainly 47mm Grand Divers.

There’s one particular Seiko Kinetic that has escaped from the collection, I know it’s still in the house somewhere but when your cupboard looks like this there’s plenty of hiding places



(and yes that is an old Garrard lurking at the bottom)

Well, there's a rewarding afternoon job one weekend. A cupboard tidy up.

What's the correct watch to wear for the task though? Choosing could take longer than the tidying does.

That’s after a tidy up (there’s a coin collection in there to).

Probably no watch is best for any manual activity, even Hardlex is susceptible to scratches.

Nowt wrong wi’ an Invicta, same movement you’ll find on £500 Seiko Sub’s...only caveat, is the Seiko 5.
Spend a wee bit more and be happier.

BTW
Grant’s pocket watches are the finest horological timepieces I’ve ever laid my eyes on outside the internet...really really special.

For myself, aside a few Seiko SKX’s on various bands..
the Latest entry, the Hamilton ‘Interstellar”.
Best modern interpretation (I think) of the WW2 Flieger Pilot watches outside an IWC Big Pilot...a friend has one...I prefer the Hamilton.


Designed specifically for the movie by Hamilton, who have a long horological connection with Hollywood, Time being a major factor in the movie the watch is a big deal.
Not the most expensive watch in the world, but like all Picasso paintings (which come come down to a bit of stretched canvas he could find at the time and a few daubs of paint) ....

...it’s all about the Story.

Just ask Rolex’s marketing men.

I have an equal number of Seikos, so I’m moderately happy

The dial on that Hamilton is very similar to mine

Nice lookin’ watch, looks good on brown leather.

Aside the day/date complications being at 6 and 12 looks very similar.
My favourite part of this watch is the way the numerals catch the light, sometimes the face looks black until you twist your wrist and the numbers pop.

Looks good on the stainless steel bracelet to. Leather straps seem to need breaking in, bit like shoes.
