Wow! CopyCat!

J401988 Looks like a Luminox! Why would they copy a watch and make it near the same price as the original?

I don't think the Luminox is 48 mms either. Same look, only bigger for peeps that like the larger timepieces. __________________

You are correct sir, Luminox is 44-45mm. it will be interesting to see one of these in person. __________________

Wow, pretty close to the luminox, maybe just a couple of differences, case size, tubes and it says Invicta on the rubber.

The other day, one of the DoD sites had a few other colors listed. Going price was $79, so it's being offered at a much lower price point.

The Lumi can be grabbed for around $235 (list is $295). The homage could make for a fun knock-around.

Here's a white one (#1101):

And Teal (#1099):

Same price as what?

Here's a sample luminox (with tubes).

44mm

Invicta, 48mm (no tubes).

Yes, there are some differences, but overall look is similar, including the 'tube shaped' lume markers. Made me take a second look when I saw it the first time. The price gave it away though.

I am not really picking sides, just sharing information. >Luminox >Luminox >Luminox >Luminox >Luminox >Luminox

uses a carbon fiber reinforced thermo-formed plastic case. Invicta = sst. is 20ATM, Invicta = 10 is ISO-2281 compliant, Invicta = unknown is swiss made, Invicta = Asia is smaller and lighter has no lume on the bezel

Does the Luminox have a screw down crown?... that also might be another difference. __________________ My watch, knife and flashlight reviews kramer5150 View Public Profile Send a private message to kramer5150 Find all posts by kramer5150 Add kramer5150 to Your Contacts #14 Yesterday, 01:48 PM

Its a great Seiko movement and deserves more. The NH25A goes toe to toe with the 7S36 in my Seiko.

Until Luminox makes watches 48mm and up (not just one model that is 47mm), I'm ok with this.

We all know that brands "pay homage" to other brands all the time. I love the Luminox look and the tubes.

So, if Invicta put the tubes on this larger version, and did not charge as much as Luminox does, I'd buy that teal one!

Agree with what Ron said above....

Lots of homages out there for different brands as well. If you look closely at the dive cases that boutique brands use, it's all the same case done in asia.

If you don't like it, pass on. I've moved away from the big "I" end last year and only am interested in a few pieces right now (auto Excursion is one of them).

Lots of other brands out there so nobody is asking a buyer to commit oneself to only one brand. __________________ Invicta||Casio||Seiko||Hamilton|| SWI MrAutoGuy View Public Profile Send a private message to MrAutoGuy Find all posts by MrAutoGuy Add MrAutoGuy to Your Contacts #27 Yesterday, 03:26 PM

Wow ! That Invicta with the Green in the first OP's Post looks Great !

Will try to get that one when I can. Several Guys at Work wear the "Luminox" Homages.

They could care less about it being a replica, got theirs at a local Flea Market.

i wouldn't trade my Luminox 47mm with carbon composite case for most dive watches I have seen. Go to the Luminox web site to see just how tough these watches are. I would highly recommend them, but don't see many simularities between these two. Case material, strap material, movement, in this case a picture is not worth a thousand words. The real deal is worth every penny.

Jon i disagree, remember how invicta came to be. They saw the Rolex Submariner and said, hey i can make 90% (10% for the lack of rolex movement) of that watch for 400% less. Invicta saw that Luminox sells their watch and saw an opportunity to make it 50% less __________________ I'd rather be a lion for a day than a lamb that lives forever - Canibus krayziehustler View Public Profile

Just as a point of interest , no one ever said you cannot give your opinion on a timepiece but you could do it with class. If someone uses words like - FUGLY , UGLY, WORST LOOKING, GROSS ,as example's I do not see the need for that because at the end of the day someone bought it and likes it. You can deliver your opinion using less hateful words as in -Not for me , Not my type, this keeps the peace gets your point across and does not hurt anyone's feelings.

We just want to keep this a friendly non stressful place to go and enjoy yourself . I do not think that is a lot to ask . __________________

I don't get some of you complaining about Invicta "running out of ideas" or "copying too closely" because of a homage. Invicta has made tons of homage pieces, or at least stuff that is "heavily inspired by" another brand's model. Why would this one make you guys feel any different?

I personally don't have a problem with a well-made homage piece. Doesn't appear that many others do, as they continue to make them.

Have to at least see the presentation/price, but it looks cool, and the lume looks great. Might consider picking one up. Also heavily agree with those who said throw the NH25 in there, would make this a really nice piece at a reasonable pricepoint..

Hey this watch is what it is, I have a couple of Luminox watches. Both the same model, I thought I lost the 1st one so I bought the same one again, it's the Marine series. I love the watch have had it for over 12 yrs, wouldn't swap it for the copy but I just might buy the copy.

I'll never trust Luminox again, after owning several of their watches, one decided to split at the lugs on me after about two weeks of ownership. They told me to go pound sand when it came to return. I hope they have a better importer these days, the one I used to deal with, who's initials are RB, left much to be desired in the CS department when anything went wrong.

In all fairness, out of several hundred I sold, only three or four ever broke, but that was enough to make me prefer stainless or titanium cases from then on.

When this watch, in that cool teal, was on a DOD site last week, I almost bought first, thought second.

But, after doing some follow up... I saw that the Luminary does not mean it has the tubes.

Even a Luminary that makes it look like the tubes are there...

No tubes in these. The areas that appear to be tubes are tritnite only...

It's been said that, "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery."

So even though I will choose not to pull the trigger, congrats to any that have/will and congrats to Invicta, for making a very nice homage. __________________

I see enough differences that, to me, it is not a true CopyCat. It's a homage (tribute) watch.

We've seen enough CopyCat watches that are marked, "Rolix" on the dial.

If Invicta made a watch marked, "LumiNax" or something like that, that would be CopyCat city. That is just MHO. __________________ " The BEST gift to give is your time to others. Especially reading to kids."

Sir, if you feel that 42/44mm is that small then maybe you need to look at some issues that you might have with using a watch to compensate for something else that is that small. chiefeng View Public Profile Send a private message to chiefeng Send email to chiefeng Find all posts by chiefeng Add chiefeng to Your Contacts #56 Today, 10:08 AM

LOL! I have a great response all lined up and ready too be knocked down, but I will pass at this time out of the respect for Nick an Mike Davis. But let me just say in a polite fashion.............. Being inept isnt anything Rip has too worry about. However if you have these deep down issue's I am sure some one could recommend you some sound medical advice or maybe you should call enzyte or your favorite natural male enhancement supplier. __________________ Hmmmmmmm.

I can't get over the inability to wind the NH25A........ not to say that all of my watches with the movement aren't dead on. __________________

It's a nice looking watch, can't wait to see them live. It will make a great beater watch.

To me, it's basic business. Cut into your competitions' business.
