Legend. Love the riviera, and I am solidly in your camp re quality and affordability. I have had a 2 tone modern skydweller, but love the invictor and seiko more!
You treat an affordable watch (accessable for normal folks) with great respect. I appreciate that very much as a guy with your background might just scoff.
Finally!! Somebody reviewed this watch objectively!!! These invictas not only look good, but stay dry! Great review nonbiased and these watches look great on leather!
Great unbiased review from a true master. I own 12 of these Pro Divers in different colors and they all perform very well. Invicta makes 65,000 different styles and combinations of watches for everyone including kids, adults, business people, sports fans, movie fans... They also make some experimental watches that are gaudy and "over-the-top." They don't use middlemen that much in their distribution network and they've opted to sell large quantities of watches at low-profit margins rather than sell a few at enormous markups. The IWG (Invicta Watch Group) is a global behemoth with sales in access of $100 million dollars. Every watch has a 3-year warranty. Pretty impressive for the price. Great channel!
Haha! Hi Eddie ... that is brilliant! I think Invicta gets an unfair kicking. I wore mine a lot until I blew the back of in the pressure tester! th-cam.com/video/ECTiOUt7jxw/w-d-xo.html :)
Loving these honest videos on the Invicta Pro Diver. For the price I think it's still an amazing watch. I'm thinking of modding mine with an acrylic crystal to give it even more of a old time look. I've never had issue with acrylic as it's easy to fix with a little toothpaste or poly watch and I always preferred the look over sapphire or mineral crystal.
I bought an Invicta ProDiver, liked it and enjoyed it for a while, but since I already had a couple divers, I gave the ProDiver to a friend. He has been so happy with it. It was a great feeling to hand it over. Didn't cost me much, and my buddy's over the moon. Good vibes:-)
I've had about 6 of the different versions of this line of ProDivers. Most of them I've modded with different dials and hands, maybe sapphire crystals. Still an incredible bargain as you've mentioned.
@@richardperrettwatchmaker Most successful mod from my point of view? Removing the logo from the case, going with and Explorer dial, Plongeur hands, a green bezel insert, single domed crystal. Parnis bracelet, only because it had glidelock. Was going to regulate it, but it was already at +2 sec/day. Most successful as far as other people's reaction? That started as a mistake where I put the dial in the oven to even the color of the indices and the all turned medium to dark brown (black & "gilt" dial). After much consternation, I "aged" the hands in coffee grounds in the oven. Single domed mineral crystal, dark gray leather band, new Black/Gold insert with an older lume pip. Now it looks like a well-cared for 70 year old watch. I've even had watch geeks ask me if it was a Tudor.
@@jdkimple I love the both of these but especially the 'accidental' one. That sounds brilliant! 'How to age a watch' video .... that's cool! Thanks JD. So pleased you are having fun with your watches! Richard
I’ve got one of these, the green dial and bezel on a two tone gold and steel case/chain and its a real stunner. So much so I may buy more, a full steel with blue dial and put it on a blue leather strap, and maybe a full gold with a black dial and put it on a black nato with gold trim to have the ultimate versatile 3 watch collection.
I was really interested in special coloured dials, ya know, that extra bling or character.... That black and stainless invicta on brown strap is all one really needs! I love it!
Nice review. I had no doubts, as I purchased my first 40 mm Pro Diver 12 years ago, and now have added one Pro Diver and 2, 47 mm Grand Divers. They all have the same movement as yours, and they keep excellent time. I have gone snorkeling in Cozumel with them and had no problems what so ever. The most I have paid for any of them was $125 USD...which is very reasonable considering what you get in the Pro Diver.
Hi Larry ... so good to hear your lengthy experience corroborates my findings. I just googled Cozumel .... man I want to go there! It looks so gorgeous ... and warm! Richard (in cold West Wales, UK)
@@richardperrettwatchmaker the snorkeling there is amazing! My wife and I went there and to the Grand Cayman islands the first time for our honeymoon. Both places are amazing, and we go back every couple of years. Being mobility impaired... swimming is one of the few activities that I can still participate in without worrying about injuring my legs. So, I really enjoy swimming in the nice, warm water in both places. ( In, at the moment, cold central Texas )
Amazing video. Well done. Only thing you can do now is take it scuba diving! I might beat you to it, if I buy one. You seem to be the only youtuber who actually properly tests an Invicta! Pressure test, strap changing, swimming, even different clothes with the watch. Amazing. New sub here
great video :) I have this particular Invicta and some other ones and I must say, I just love this one. on a bracelet, leather strap, nato ... keep it going ... Im subscribing :)
Own the 8926ob myself, and Grand Divers 3047 and 21865; Thrilled to hear such a connaisseur speak highly and honestly about the Invicta's housing of the hacking NH35A. Love it.
An amazing video. I really Love Invicta especially the ETa's and Val.7750 movements along with the Seiko movements. Like my Rolex's however I Love my Invicta's and Aragon's. Their quality is amazing and when they break you just throw them away. With Rolex you just cry and get a loan from the bank. Thanks for sharing. A really amazing Review.
Hi Eddie! Thank you so much for this feedback .... it's always good to have my findings corroborated by some who owns both Invicta and Rolex. Thanks again. Richard
I like the Invicta watches i have 3 one 2 tone pro diver and 2 big heavy watches, both over 300 grams :) one of them i had for over 6 years now, changed the battery once that is all.
Subbed! (pardon the pun) I have two of the buggers now, and another on the way, all versions with NH35s. I have partially modded the two I already have (more solid bracelets, ceramic bezel insert, removal of the Invicta inscriptions on the cases). Thanks for your endorsement of this nice watch, I'm as addicted to them as I am with Vostoks :-)
I have a king seiko 5625 7110 im waighting for the date corector part coming from japan would love to see u service it and put new part in and put it on you tube i would pay off course..!!!
Great watch. Have two, my pride is a diamond pave which looks incredible in sunlight, and the standard SS black diver. Both are quite good. The pave was a "bit more" than the standard, but (?) worth it.
Nice & honest review.. i have also tested my invicta 8927ob in swimming with no problem.. it looks fantastic homage of rolex submariner & i am thinking abt. purchasing my next invicta the model 21719 open heart.. 😁😁
Haha! I think I had run out of white shirts as I was away and living out of a suitcase ... but I figure your fashion advice is pretty sound. Thanks for taking the trouble to give it. Richard
HI Vik 351 ... before the fix it was 'very sweet'. After the fix it was nearly very sweet is the most accurate answer. I have heard others say they have had issues and particularly with the 'waved edged bezel' which is slightly harder to get a good grip on. I guess you could follow the steps in this video and put a little grease on the inner part of the bezel to ease it. Only a little though! Hope this helps ... Richard
The only thing I don't like about mine is the invicta on the side of the case. I like the feel of it, the size, it seems decently made, and of course that seiko mov't. I have a gold one I got secondhand but the gold made me feel like a gangster so I got a nice two tone one -- my first ever two tone watch (I'm a plain steel dude). I love it. Gratified to know that water resistance holds up, I intend to get mine submerged.
Excellent review of a very impressive watch, Richard. I may have to pick up a stainless one to go with my 28 year old 16610. I won't go for the gold plated one... my skin is too damn acidic for gold plating to last longer than an English springtime.
I have a Pro Diver iver and a Grand-diver. I've got the Pro Diver down to +1spd and the Grand Diver came out of the box at less than +1spd...mental really?!
Nice video. Would you expect the gold-tone to discolour over time or not? I was thinking of getting the two-tone 8928OB and would like to know how long the gold colour is expected to last?
Hi Rome ... Yes like all plate gold it will eventually wear. But by the time it does you will have probably have spent 3 cents a day on owning the watch and it will be time to get a nice new one! The two tone will wear too but it will be less noticeable. Hope this helps. Richard
I have the exact 2 models showed here and also an old Pro-diver with the NH25A movement. Have used t in the ocean and pools, completely water tight, never a drop of water in them. The stainless steel seems to fool a lot of people who think it may be a Rolex
Please HELP.. Years back I replaced batteries in some of my quartz watches. Recently, I replaced some in, Timex, Armatron, Seiko etc. My issue is, I can NOT replace the watch back. They are all snap in backs. I'm 66 so I may not be strong enough any more but I had my son try and he could not close them either. Can you tell me how to do this? Thanks, I like your channel. Michael A in the USA.
Hi Michael ... no problem, like most things in engineering its about having the correct tool. With several watches to do it makes sense I think to get yourselve an inexpensive watch back press like this ... amzn.to/2T5jx2f this will give the size options with the swappable dies and the leverage you need to get the backs on without any real effort. Usage is common sense really .... hope this helps sir! :)
My pro diver new out of the box is running around 40 secs fast a day. Do I need to wear it for a while to see if it improves or just get it regulated? By the way great video!
Hi Steve ... I would wait and see it it settles. BTW that +40 is pretty much just inside the spec for a NH35A ... unless it gets much worse I would just 'run with it'. Richard
I see you were using Watch Tuner Light to check the timing. Would the full version be acceptable for the hobbyist, or would a real timegrapher be preferable?
Hi JD ... If you already have a device on which to run I am tempted to say both! Especially if you are also able to set up a permenant watch bench. The main timegrapher is just so handy to use and will save you hods of time. The app is useful a quick check of a movement prior to going back in the case after service or, as in the case above, when you are away from your bench. Hope this helps. Richard
Wow great video and I just bought this watch a couple days ago, while the pro diver with the black rubber strap same colour black. But I would love to know the name of that app! And how it works!!!!!!
Hi Auxmike ... TGV has been very successful and has a big following so I hope you are correct sir! As for me I am just going to do my thing and share it on TH-cam in the hope folks find it interesting and entertaining. Thank you for the kind comments sir! Richard
Hi Ketan, the pro diver come with either wave edge bezel or coin edge. I prefer the coin edge and that's what's in this video. I am pretty sure ceramic bezel is not an option at this price point. Hope this is helpful, Richard
Hi Simon ... apologies for the delay in answering this question. It's an IOS app called 'Watch Tuner Lite' which is free I think. It's big brother app is called 'Timegrapher' and both are on the Apple app store. Hope this helps! Thanks again. Richard
If you are going to show the watch on the wrist, I wish you'd include your wrist size. Maybe I need to watch the critical review first. I have a 7.5 inch wrist and I think this watch would look so dainty, absolutely like a women's watch on my wrist. Please someone tell me I'm wrong in my assumptions about a 40mm case diameter watch. I have a 42mm Apple Watch that looks so small and insignificant on my wrist. I ended up getting a g shock type case and band for it to make it appear as a 44mm. It still looks smallish to me.
Great review ,, love mine ,, looks like you had a nice holiday too cheers shane 🇬🇧,, would like an orange dial invicta,,, never seen one yet ,, have you ? Thank you and have given thumbs up and subbed ,, my invicta limited is featured on my crappy TH-cam channel,,, the popeye version thanks Shane Warks
So here we in the south of France, To field test the Invecta prodiver, I found myself falling asleep after 3minutes!! Nothing here that haven't been covered before? You could have done this at home with a bucket of water!
@@richardperrettwatchmaker Thanks. The person who posted the “gross” comment never has wakened up with the current watch hypocrisy. How many of those who buy “dive watches” actually use them for diving purposes? I personally know of none. “Gold watches” are a piece of jewellery. There is certainly personal taste here. To each his own. Period. Don’t force your taste onto others. Waste of other people’s time.
Very disappointing. I want to know whether it can stand a 20m holiday dive, a tenth of it's stated limit. A baby bath style gentle splash is not a field test. Less of the dressing for dinner, less of the one plus minutes unnecessary intro and take it diving please.

To each his own. Period. Don’t force your taste onto others. Waste of other people’s time.
I mean I personally don't like gold sport watches but calling them gross is a bit much if I'm honest.
Very disappointing. I want to know whether it can stand a 20m holiday dive, a tenth of it's stated limit. A baby bath style gentle splash is not a field test. Less of the dressing for dinner, less of the one plus minutes unnecessary intro and take it diving please.
I like your technical reviews. What’s the measuring app on the iPad?
