Please post a pic or video. Some of the more knowledgeable geeks have been known to fix problems on new watches if they can see it. In some cases there was no problem and just a simple adjustment was needed.

If not, you will have to return it for a refund. Or send it to Invicta for repair. I had an SAS that the bottom pusher stopped working 2 weeks after I got it, I sent it in for repair and 9 weeks later it was back, perfect. They get sent overseas to be repaired. __________________

" A picture says a thousand words " .... no one is doubting the OP but I think it would be helpful to see the problem photographed at an angle that shows them touching. Either way, it has to go back to the shop or to Invicta. If you love the watch, send it to Invicta, focus on something else, and eventually it'll be back at ya. Blue

Are you invested in this company, if the guy states the Rotor is stuck, guess what it's stuck, ETA supplies the movement and Invicta cases it i believe. Dude send it back or for repair.

It's too bad that this happened to you, but it seems that at this point it should be an easy enough fix. Send it back for an exchange or repair, I would go with the exchange option myself but it's up to you. Good Luck __________________

You guys that are here and don't want to join a "cult" as you put it or listen to the "fannboys" of Invicta, I don't understand why you would still belong to an Invicta sponsored, excuse me, now owned, forum. I laugh all day at the comments by some here. If you don't like them or Invicta, I can't really fathom or
understand why you all are still here, I really can't. I'm not trying to be an ass here, just can't comprehend why you would stick around a place that has so much of what you dislike. __________________

How did we go from proof, to past experiences to Cult following is beyond me. P.S. am I invested in Invicta....NO, however I have been here long enough to see the infiltration of trolls. If this guy isnt one of them then good, we always welcome honest people. Is it a shame that one isnt trusted right out of the gate without proof sure, but dont blame me....Blame our friends at.......never mind I wont give them a Plug! __________________ Hmmmmmmm.

Just be careful about the local jeweler plan. I had a Pro Diver w/ SW200 and did that and they couldn't help me b/c the rotor screw actually broke at the head and the rest of the screw was still in the movement. So now it's a mechanical as they left the rotor, which did nothing anyway, out for me. If you go the repair route I would go through Invicta even if it takes a while longer. I would honestly send it back, but thats just my opinion. If you REALLY love then send it for repair. __________________

Realistically, who needs to prove anything? He bought an Invicta product that was supposed to be "quality control" inspected. It's an 8-900 dollar purchase. You bet your ass I'd bring it to people's attention. Besides the fact that you cannot diagnose the problem with a giant propeller in your way. I would return it to shop.. Because they will have more and it will most likely be cheaper.

If you have a problem with your watch, send it back. Don't let it get lost on the Invicta boat back to Switzerland. The real troll, is the person or people who just jump on someone because they may have a legitimate issue with a product they have put all of their faith in, and can't have that image tarnished. Why doesnt everyone help versus hurt the situation?

Nothing wrong with asking for a pic or a vid, is there ? .. many assumptions could be drawn from the question ? Perhaps, the person asking for the video simply would like to see the problem and there is no accusation at all ? ..

Well, I'm certainly not here to start trouble. But I call it how I see it. In fact, nobody would have discussed "troll" if it wasn't brought up. All because someone had an issue with a bricked Valgranges movement? There was nothing productive about it. As far as I was told, this was a place for watch enthusiasts to help others, not be a firing squad.

As far as I was told, this was a place for watch enthusiasts to help others, not be a firing squad. Read my post #61, this is not the first time, in my 2 years here, that I have seen someone on here for 2 months, with 9 posts, tool on a watch brand or make an unfounded accusation about a brand new watch with a problem and go offline and watch the fireworks go off. Most often it is with Invicta, as Eyal has many haters out there. It happens more than you think, the troll gets all the members fighting and sits back and laughs. I do not believe this to be the case here, but like I said, I have seen it WAY too many times in 2 years. __________________

That's too bad -- the propeller thing makes the watch look like a toy, in my opinion. I don't know why it's even there. You can barely see the movement, which is what you're paying the big bucks for, not the propeller. And how did the word "troll" get to be so overused? If it's being used to mean an ugly guy, my guess is there aren't too many 'lookers' among us watchgeeks who accuse others of being trolls. Maybe it means something else entirely, I have no idea, whatever, it's just kind of mean and childish. willie99 View Public Profile Send a private message to willie99 Find all posts by willie99 Add willie99 to Your Contacts #73 Yesterday, 12:26 PM

Yeah originally, I thought they were going to use that as a rotor, which would have been awesome. But the production costs would be too high. I think it's meant to be reminiscent to a submarine propeller...

I was just wondering 'aloud' why
From "Billy Goat's Gruff", right? The troll who lived under the bridge? Anyway, I often learn more from the "trolls" than the 'f*a*n*b*o*y*s' -- I know you're right in that loads of people get thrown off this site. It's very heavily policed. Of course, that only adds credibility to the criticisms that escape deletion, and is a big reason the site is ridiculed. I still like it though, a lot of the folks on here seem very nice and knowledgeable. Hopefully, it won't go too Nazi on us. willie99 View Public Profile Send a private message to willie99 Find all posts by willie99 Add willie99 to Your Contacts #79 Yesterday, 01:07 PM

ETA Problem? Never! LOL!
My watchmaker works on ETA movements all the time, he says when he calls ETA they never admit its their problem. There was a design flaw on one of the movements going back a while, they had the same watches coming back so he tried to speak to the engineer about it and they refused to let him speak to him. So good luck. Ron __________________

Well let's see we covered Cowboy's and Indians , troll's , the Good Ole Days , what and why we post . How about we leave the moderation to the moderators and just try and help the members that need help. Invicta might be the owners here now but they have changed nothing rule wise ,they have been and always will be the same. If someone has an issue with any watch they are free to discuss it respectfully that is all that is asked. __________________

Sorry to hear that your piece arrived NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY...I received my Blue version as well (along w/a Grey version, which I'm currently wearing...1 for 2 I guess is fine w/Invicta & the SHOP), and, the Blue arrived DAMAGED! The "stencil" dial plate covering the Super Luminova dial is not completely secured. It moves around & is not centered so the subdials are somewhat covered making the dial look off-centered & also making the illusion that the unidirectional bezel has been ratcheted approximately 60degrees. Pics to follow soon. Soooooooo Disappointing & Frustrating that Invicta (& ShopNBC) would let a high-end piece such as this get through QC & be sent to an avid collector (& allow me to pay $14.99 for S&H to boot). This is a BIG deal breaker. Mine is already on it's way back to the SHOP & I really hope that they dont make the same mistake & somehow send this particular piece out to another customer. BUYER BEWARE...THE SHOP SENDS OUT ITEMS THAT ARE ALREADY DAMAGED & CHARGES FULL S&H IN DOING SO?????? Have a good one.

Or if it doesn't matter and there is nothing to see, then why spring for the pricey movement in the first place?

Yes Darrin the propeller is part of the design so they kept it on the auto. It was actually supposed to act as the rotor originally but it was way too costly to achieve that goal. __________________

Yeah and I think it would be way too heavy to be the rotor, it is pretty cool looking though. Wish they could put it on the dial side somehow! __________________

my 2 cents worth, if someone says my watch is broken I say 1 return it 2 send for repairs 3 or an exchange. After that they are on their own.. and if did ask for proof and they gave it i would say "thanks for the pics". I just give my advice and drop it, otherwise this happens over and over again.and frankly people this AINT why I joined. __________________ I hear voices in my head...watch voices...screaming...BUY ME!!!

I sorry to here that one of you timepieces arrived defective...All we can do as geeks to insure that another unfortunate collector doesn't receive a defective timepiece is to mark the timepiece defective..Shop should in this instance refund your shipping both ways...If Shop sends the the same defective watch out to another customer shame on Shop for doing so..

Craigmack Sorry to here about your watch arriving defective.. My advice..don't think twice about it..mark it as defective and send the timepiece back to Shop...Call CS and ask to speak to supervisor about refunding your shipping both ways..

If it's being used to mean an ugly guy, my guess is there aren't too many 'lookers' among us watchgeeks who accuse others of being trolls. Maybe it means something else entirely, I have no idea, whatever, it's just kind of mean and childish. Languages change and yes troll has a different meaning on the internet. After all, if one considers the original use of troll it would apply to people anyway, but words they be evolvin. beyelzu View Public Profile

Craig if blue is sold out and you love the watch then you better get it off to Invicta soon and start your long wait for it's return. Good luck! __________________
