    I picked up one with the orange lume from eBay.
    Whilst the watch is lovely (bezel and domed glass are superb) the lume is a very pinky orange, compared to the faded yellow it looks in most pics.

    Photos please!

    For a cheap Rolex ( type) I've had many favourable comments
    about my old Invicta.

    A lot of people think it's a much more expensive watch, .... Like a Timex or something. :D

    Oh. I was actually looking at the same model. But with the blue face.

    Nice one TP, I bought that same one while my omega was being serviced ( and it takes... 6 weeks) and I love it, put it on a NATO strap, I like it almost as much as the omega. -{

    :)) people seem disappointed after they say it looks cool, when I tell them
    It was only something like £65.
    This is probably sacrilege but I do prefer a steel strap. :#

    I have the same Invicta - there are a number of similar looking models, they make quartz as well as automatics with Japanese (Seiko) movements and Swiss movements. I have the cheaper Seiko movement, and it's surprisingly accurate without any regulation. For about US$100 it is definitely one of the best affordable Bond-style watches.

    Took this pic at Vienna Airport yesterday.
    Avoiding spoilers so thought I'd post here instead of the main Spectre threads.

    @Peppermill, totally agree*

    Having a Seiko SKX007 myself, I agree on all your remarks.
    The quality is phantasic, the watch is unique and a legend itself.

    Every comparison to Rotary Invicta and others is a pure insult.

    * but that does not make your wrong pov on Dalton any better ;)

    I completely agree. I own the SKX013 (small wrist!) and can attest to the quality. I've currently got it on a 20mm black NATO, but would like to put to put it on a steel oyster-style bracelet. Any suggestions?

    I don't know where you are from, but this guy from the Netherlands sells some very nice bracelets for Seiko watches. I bought an Orange Monster with a Lumpy bracelet and my SKX007 here.
