Took Venom Crystal Changer to Be Sized!
ok, I have been taking my watches to a local jeweler for a few years now. They are a Rolex dealer and carry only high end watches. They are always curious about my watches and ask a lot of questions. Today was no different. They have seen about 50-60 of my watches, many different sizes and brands. I walked in wearing my Bell&Ross Heritage and was carrying my new color changing Venom. There were people in the store and the jeweler looked at my watch and said "HOLY ****"...Thats what I am talking about. They were blown away by it. Just wanted to share a funny story. Its nice to bring an Invicta to a Rollie dealer and blow them away. __________________

I don't own one, but the original Venom, with the steel bracelet is beautiful. Truly an original Invicta design. What's not to like?

The Venom is a cool orogn design. When they make a midsize something in 45'mm range I will buy one. The current size looks like a wall clock on my small wrists. I wear a full suit every day and I could not wear a full size venom under my cuffs.

I wore my Venom to work last week and everyone was blown away by the size. Needless to say, once I get my Arsenal on my wrist from this weeks Run, there will be alot of people crapping their pants. __________________

Holy *****...That's what I would have said the first time I saw it.. The Venom's shear size dwarfs the 40mm Rolex.. I just wish they would have put the A07 Valgrange back in the Venom this year or maybe and SW500 or VAL7750,51.. Great Story Jon __________________

Venoms are awesome. I don't own it anymore and have gone back to the 45-48mm zone now but I remember, I'd get random comments on the venom most of the time, more than any other watch I own. __________________ Invicta||Casio||Seiko||Hamilton|| SWI||Citizen MrAutoGuy View Public Profile Send a private message to MrAutoGuy Find all posts by MrAutoGuy

The venom is such a beast of a watch. The deep dial and tall case......then throw that colored crystal on it and you have one serious head turner. __________________

The Venom is a Phenom. If you're afraid, don't wear it. If you can "man-up" as Jim would say! Then get ready to rock it hard. I love all my venoms. I have a 6.5 wrist and I get all kinds of complements besides the it's large and in charge comments. But you know it's all in who you are. If you've got it you can wear it with swagger to the max. I've never had a problem. I picked up this venom as well. I'm waiting to have it sized. I cannot wait to blow someone's mind. To me the all SS (including my all SS Valgrange) , the Yellow and the Black IP are my favorites. This one is sure to join the ranks as well. I say that if you can handle the poison then it's your world. I don't live for everyone else. I live for me and my family and if you like what I like fine, if not well more power to you. To everyone who can wear the full size venom, wear it with pride. Forget the size thing. It's all in what you like and if you can handle being "the man" or "or the woman". Congrats to the Venom rockers and Sea hunter rockers (watches that are too large for me at 55 mm and over) that's just me. I don't knock the watch size. It's for guys who are larger than me or wrist happens to be larger. If they can pull it off, then congrats to them. philster View Public Profile Send a private message to philster Find all posts by philster Add philster to Your Contacts #15 Today, 06:47 AM

The debate continues between Rolex and Invicta. I drive a Mini & took it to a RR dealer for a tire rotation... (humor)

Same happened to me this past Sunday. Was at a baby christening and there were some watch guys there and when they saw the venom both my brother and I were wearing they were like daaaaaaaaaaaaaam. I had my black CF OQ on bracelet and my brother had his blue MOP on bracelet. I think we got them hooked on invicta now. Told them about watchgeeks and they saw the new S1 Touring pics on the mainpage and were impressed...lol __________________

I love it! LOL, It's just hard for the Rolie owners to cope with after they went out and spent all that money, and?? It's true though about the Venom notice factor, but then, how could you miss them? I don't care what watch I wear, some get side looks, some stares, but the Venom is the only one that some guy hollered across the lumber Department at Lowes at me to stop! so he could LAMP my Venom.

Glad you got a nice "Chromallusion" Venom!! I love all of mine. The one below, I love the most. Every time I wear it, EVERYBODY wants to look at it. It's a GREAT feeling!! And, like you say, it's fun to get the reactions we do! __________________
