I'm not going to end this little note with the usual, "I have many Invictas and I'm not bashing Invicta." I think it's a shame that so many people feel they have to say that to keep from getting scolded for simply telling the truth. I'm aware that I am likely to get scolded somehow for writing this! So I have an appropriate, dignified response already planned. Here it is:

I see both sides of this. I can see why the guy should be allowed to vent or complain, after all we do still have freedom of speech as long as it doesngt violate TOS, but I also see how this gets old to people. Not so much because of the OP but because they've seen so many people pull a hit and run. That is they never post anything but the 1st complaint and they are gone. One question I would like to know, Is this your 1st Invicta or have you recieved 15 Invictas that were perfect and then got a defective one. This to me makes a BIG difference. If you've bought a bunch of watches from them and never had an interest in coming here to be a member or post about your purchase but the minute you get a problem you come
whining then thats just wrong. __________________ Big Denny In T-Town

and bashing isn't going to get it to me any faster. we should be able to vent our frustrations and express our opinions freely. I do understand the need to vent. introducing yourself like this is in poor taste. People come to wg open a bash thread about a brand and then are never heard from again. They don't contribute anything to wg.
these posts should be ignored as far as i am concerned. I am going to try to make this my last time responding to a post like this and contributing to keeping it alive. lse: well said my friend and i shall follow suit __________________ L.T.R LEARN, TEACH, REPEAT BIGNOIZE View Public Profile Send a private message to BIGNOIZE Find all posts by BIGNOIZE Add BIGNOIZE to Your Contacts #56 Yesterday, 09:55 PM Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: Topeka Kansas Posts: 344 Real Name: Ryan

You had a bad experience, everyone CAN NOT be satisfied all the time it's just impossible to do. I understand you should get what you pay for and they should make it right if it's a factory defect and I agree in those circumstances, but come on be constructive to our forums. There's alot more here to do other than to complain. Enjoy your stay if you ever come back. Thank you. You beat me to it __________________

It takes 6-8 weeks or more to get the watch back My wife and I have a number of Invictas, but will NEVER buy another one - the customer service is non existent and what purports to be Swiss is not Swiss - only parts maybe from Switzerland and assembled elsewhere I have been buying and selling watches for many, many years and never have had an experience like this. Wish that Invicta could get their act together and actually be the company that they purport to be. It is now June and I still don't have my watch back. This is a well known issue on the Sea Vulture. Suggest you do a search on this. To keep things positive, you might consider a mod done to one of mine. Put a buckle/tang on the rubber strap! You have to cut a small slot in the end of the strap for the buckle tang, but it's not too difficult. No more deployment problems, plus you can have the watch tighter or looser as you like, without the fixed position of the deployment, by just using a different hole in the strap.

Susie Nobody told him he could not voice his opinion, but the very first post ! No, hello fellow watch geeks ! No, I just wanted to introduce myself ! Just go straight to the, lets complain about the main sponsor on the site. That is not the best way to post your very first thread. Right or wrong you don't throw the main sponsor under the bus on the first post you have ever done.

Here is why in my opinion, his post was wrong. He obviosly has heard about the forum. He obvioulsy was smart enough and internet savvy enough, to come and register. He obviously was savvy enough and forum smart enough to use little emoticons in his thread title. His first post, He did not come here to ask what he should do about his clasp issue, or that he sent it in and it has been awhile , what should he do, he came here and started a thread titled, Invicta, never again. Um, Ok. Good for you, did you tell your neighbors, your friends, your priest and grocery clerks about it as well. Venting is one thing, and we have the right on the forum to do so, but it doesnt matter the brand, or the forum, If I went to a tv show forum, gun forum, car forum etc, and said, CHEVY, never again, what would be the point???????? IF i have already written off the brand, then what was the point of me coming to the main forum for the discussion of said brand, to tell them all I was done with it ? Answer, there was no point. Nothing to do with other posts in this thread, we will probably never see the OP again, because from the title and the way his post went, he had no intentions of being a member here, but only to spout off about a brand he is never buying again. Well, there are more brands out there besides Invicta, many, many, many. I am no invicta supporter, far from it, but your thread to me, just made no sense at all.
