Re: Invicta in Singapore
invicta's a joke! at the moment i guess.
shopping on amazon... i purchased a few to play around. totally didn't like the packaging. such an odd smell. watch-wise, it was... not impressive but seriously... for $50 a watch... dad sold it for 100sgd i recall.
no loss, all gain.

Re: Invicta in Singapore
Wonder if their counter at vivo City is still around. Actually their sub homage isn't too bad and their NE88 based chronographs are quite nice too.
I want to be a one watch guy!!
Re: Invicta in Singapore
Yup they are still around in vivo. Business looks not too good.

Not surprising. Price too high liaoz. Even with discounts kicked in, still loose out to Amazon or other online retail price lah...rojakman wrote:Yup they are still around in vivo. Business looks not too good.

Maybe they never heard of the Intar Webs. Or they think a large % of people don't use it.
You are not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your fucking khakis. You're the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world.

Put yourself into those not so internet-shopping-savvy-folks shoes... you'll get the idea why some folks would not want to make internet purchases. It took me almost 2yrs to get ready to embrace internet shopping... And once the barrier is broken, there's no return...

Re: Invicta in Singapore
Saw lots of Invicta in the malls when I was in San Frans a couple of months back. Prices were very reasonable there.
I'm not sure how much they are selling here in SG, but I bet they won't be worthwhile.

Re: Invicta in Singapore
Invicta is a love or hate brand...QC can be a hit or miss thingy too and from what I read, CS is just as bad.
The older Invictas are generally better made IMO. Some of those uses Swiss movement as well.
But for the price u pay($100-150) with Seiko auto I think I can still live with it.
I own a few Invictas and love them. Swiss ones to keep and cheap ones to mod (eg 8926)

Re: Invicta in Singapore
Can u do the mod yourself? I have been trying to change the bezel insert to a green colored one but k2 and the other Mr. Got at chinatown refuses to touch the Invicta citing that it's too troublesome and difficult? So I am not sure who else can do the mod?MarcTan wrote:Hey mind PM how much you get it from ?

Bezel insert still simple I can do. The inside is harder. Until today I only changed dials for two cheapies watch and a vostok amphibian. Yes they survived.balzebub71 wrote:Can u do the mod yourself?

Bezel insert I can try. I just realign the bezel insert on my Steinhart because it didn't align at 12 properly. Haha
