supersport396 Senior Member Senior Geek My second saniv 7750 no good

The second SANIV 7750 SILVERTON ups droped off today. Unscrewed the reset pusher fell out on my table. WHAT IS GOIN ON WITH INVICTA, man they have lost it there QUALITY is gone. SHOP WILL REFUND EVERY DIME IT COST ME TO RETURN THIS WATCH. They could made sure this watch was rite. BEWARE OF BUYING THERE WATCHES IN this case the one's there shipping are return's. IAM DONE NOW TO GET MY MONEY BACK FOR POSTAGE DONT WANT NO CREDIT ON FUTURE BUY"S, NOT GOING TO HAPPEN NO MORE SHOP NBC for me. UPDATE Shop called me and they are sending ups out to my home to pickup this watch and return it to them. Thats good new's they going to check on the rest of there stock to see if they are return's. Which i do believe they are, So i will not be buying any more invicta's untill they come around on c/s and Quality. I THINK WE SHOULD THINK ABOUT THAT BEFORE BUYING ANY THING FROM THEM, AND WE ARE ALL IN THE SAME BOAT WHEN IT COME"S TO THERE C/S

I chalk it up to stuff happens. Sorry to hear that. I have been lucky. 80 NEW watches and only problems with three. All DOA and all resolved to my satisfaction and NONE were INVICTA of which I have over 25. bwag829 View Public Profile Send a private message to bwag829 Find all posts by bwag829 Add bwag829 to Your Contacts #4 Yesterday, 11:53 AM bfalba1 Senior Member Veteran Geek

Sorry to hear that SS. I do not buy any Invicta's with high end movements such as the 7750, etc. because of QC. __________________ Dulce bellum inexpertis socrates View Public Profile Send a private message to socrates Send email to socrates Find all posts by socrates Add socrates to Your Contacts #6 Yesterday, 12:04 PM mikebell Senior Member Senior Geek

Sorry to here about the problem.It can really drive you up the wall when that happens.All the antisipation untill it arrives,then BAM! I've got 56 Invictas from the Shop,and only had 2 problems.I think that's not bad.Don't lrt it get you down.It's a good reason for a couple of drinks.Things will look better in the morning.(I hope). daycoo2 View Public Profile Send a private message to daycoo2 Find all posts by daycoo2 Add daycoo2 to Your Contacts #10 Yesterday, 12:26 PM for watches only Senior Member Senior Geek

Ok, so first thing is.....I don't think making sweeping stataments about most things are helpful. I would agree that Invicta has had its' issues, but, I believe they are actually improving on QC and CS. I have purchased other very high end brands and, on occassion, had issues. One of the reasons we hear more about Invicta's problems is that rather than buying one, two or three "prestige" watches a year due to cost, we are buying one, two, three DOZEN or more watches from Invicta and other vendors a year. Chances of an issue obveously increase. I own over 50 Invictas, most of which are automatics including cosc sw200. Eta 2824, 7750 & 7751. I also own eight Unitas mechanicals. I have had issue with only two over the past several years, and they were both taken care of by Invicta CS. With patience and courtesy, you can and will be satisfied. I have been in business over 30 years, and I realize that problems happen, even in the best organizations. I further know that it is how you handle those issues determine the worth of a business. Can Invicta do better? Of course, and, as I've stated, I believe they are. That stated, as consumers, sometimes we can do better as well. Behaving like adults and giving others the respect they deserve can go a very log way in getting the satisfaction we all desire. Obveously, this is only my perspective, but formed over a very long time.I respect other views as well.

Sorry to hear about your misfortune. That has to be flat out discouraging. I, like others have multiple watches with little or no problems. It is dreadful to hear of others struggling with these issues, because we know that it could be us next! Every Invicta I have owned has worked to perfection, but that is not to say that the next one will give me trouble. Again, I hate it for you and I hope that your issues will get resolved! __________________ Love the Lord your God with all of your heart, soul, mind and strength. And love your neighbor as your self.

Here we go again !!!! ... Lucky for us we have the shop and Invicta to say to us ... Hey, I'm sending the UPS truck to pick it up and return it ..... lucky we have such beautiful watches to buy ..... mine have been sweeeeeet ..... SAN 4's .. I have three and they are fine .... yes, things happen, but always or too often anyhow this 'shoot them dead' mentality is simply 'frustration' being voiced .. fine, voice it, but don't condemn a brand for a problem you are having with a watch ...THE BRAND ROCKS THE HOUSE .... and the shop does their best for us ..

Returned to Shop and my second one was also DOA. I just paid $55 in shipping and Shop refunded $12 of that I believe. Just took the second one to my watchmaker and had it fixed and return to me in less than a week and cost less than my shipping!. He gave me a quick lesson in the movements that are used in different watches like Invicta, Hamilton, SWI, etc. and I personally will not buy another Invicta with a so called high end movement. Again, please, this is just my opinion and I'm not trying to start a war just stating my own personal experience ONLY! __________________

What is stated above is true. Some facts to consider: 1. Mechanical movements from ETA and other manufacturers come in various grades. 2. Invicta is an extremely high volume, low price brand with less-than-excellent after-sale support. Conclude what you will

P.S. A base grade movement is not necessarily a bad movement. But I'm not going to buy a watch for anywhere near $1,000 with one in it. YMMV. Eric. __________________

The G10 is an inexpensive movement, but not a low-quality one. The G10 is probably a better movement in the quartz chronograph world (yes, plastic parts and all) than a base 7750 is in the

mechanical chronograph world. Apples and oranges. Eric. __________________

SS396 - I certainly understand your pain and you have the right to be MAD; forget upset. In the end we vote with our wallets. I have only purchased 1 high end invicta....a PD 7750. Nd the most expensive I have purchased at $700.00. I like that watch but have decided that as far as high end, I will not make any additional high dollar purchases from Invicta. That way, my bubble won't be burst in my face! I love their designs, and they (at least through the DoD sites) allow me to purchase a SIMILAR watch in quartz at reasonable prices. Luckily, WG helped me to loose my rose colored glasses. I love the design of many of the Invictas and will buy and wear them. I have always had my doubts on how they can make SWISS made watches by top swiss watchmakers at crazy low prices and retain the quality. Obviously, there has to be many ways to cut corners (quality, QC, service after the sale, etc) and therefore prices. I figure on wearing them till the battery dies LOL. I have decided not to think "that deal is too good to be true, just buy it". OH well, I am just re-hashing info I am sure you know. Vent SS396, that's what we are here for. Again, vote with your wallet! Try another brand, just be happy, love it and wear it well. chasntime View Public Profile Send a private message to chasntime Send email to chasntime Find all posts by chasntime Add chasntime to Your Contacts #28 Yesterday, 05:29 PM supersport396 Senior Member Senior Geek

Have had similar experience buying "new" from SNBC. I bought THREE VJ7750 equipped Reserve SA meteorite in GM from SNBC (the donut case). Returned two as they were DOA, as in non-functioning, non-operating movements. Thank goodness for value pay, as I was only out the 1st VP for the two bad ones (this was a $1300 watch), which got refunded 30 days later. Now I only buy used Invicta VJ7750s from trusted WGs. The best QC system on the planet. That way, you can take advantage of all those guys who got one with any problems. I have never been lucky enough to be in that boat with Invicta.
