Invicta Gigantus: Prime Example Of Big Watches Getting Too Massive
The trend today is for watches to grow ever bigger. In an age of miniaturization, this may not make sense, but remember it is style, not technology that we are talking about. Because watches are meant to be seen, more and more new watches are showing up in larger dimensions. Standard sized watches of the past (say 38mm) for a men's watch is now considered almost petite. And finding a 36mm or smaller men's watch is almost unseen. Invicta now takes watches in the more than 50mm dimensions. Definitely noticeable.Pictures and images of these watches are really not enough to get a good grasp of just how big these watches are. Imagine wearing a size whose diameter is almost the same as the top of a can. Make that circle with your hands and imagine it on your wrist. That needs to be a damn impressive watch to take up so much wrist real estate.Invicta has been making watches for a while now, and is based out of Florida. With aggressive marketing and often bold designs, they find a good market

How bad is the durability of the AP RO really? Will she dent easy?
Hey guys.Yes it is this thread again. I do apologize, however I really just want to get an idea on what I am getting myself into. I actually don't mind scratches at all, especially knowing I will get the watch serviced every few years and have it polished, it doesn't bother me much.Having said this, will the RO pick up scratches on the very least things though?Also, if accidentally slamming a door, or a wall, can I expect a dent, and having to change the actual bezel?Surely they can't be that fragile? So many people questioning the durability is what makes me raise these questions.I do appreciate all the help. Any response is appreciated!Thanks guys

I'm back!
Not that I ever left but last year I sold my only Omega, a 2255.80 electric blue SMP300. I regretted it almost immediately - I don't really recall why I felt the compulsion to sell it. It was one of my first nice watches and a real tool watch. Recently I'd been thinking of getting another Omega and the new blue ceramic SMP was very interesting. After seeing one, I decided it was too much like my Rolex 116619LB and I really just wanted my old watch back. So I made an offer to the buyer and I got it back!! It hasn't been touched and is still operating at 1s/d. Great to have her back on my wrist!
