Well, well. A Hot Invicta? For $100? Seriously? Indeed it is. Not perfect, and don't expect luxury feel, but definitely one of the nicest overall packages I've come across for the money..... if you can find one, that is. Cheers, Jody
Unbiased towards any brand, reviews watches you can afford, and he aint a hired gun for the watch industry! What more do we want?
More Sean Connery impersonations!
(slams fist on desk) MORE PICTURES OF SPIDERMAN!!!.
Viewers who can separate commercials from honest reviews.
Is he still a shill for GearBest? I looked them up, not the best reputation...
I don’t think he’s a shill for anyone.
Hahaha My relief when you showed the side without that awful Invicta branding.
I know right?! It is such a blight on their other models. Cheers!
@Ray Han And you're still a snob with a little shrimp in your pants
I love my automatic pro diver its beautiful branding and all and that's a fact👍
I love my pro diver u can’t even see the invicta brand on the side when on highly over exaggerated by some there is absolutely nothing wrong with my pro diver . Keeps great time , looks good, feels good, and it’s the closest thing to a Rolex I’ll ever own by choice!
That Connery impression though 😂 gold!
Hahahahahahaha ...
Miss Moneypenny 😱
When you revealed that it didn’t have that giant horrendous Invicta logo on the side I knew I was gonna buy it.
I actually think Invicta did a great job on this watch, and with the price quite frankly much better than a lot of the new micro brands.
Somewhere in California, Jory Goodman just felt a disturbance in the force.
Jory is kind of a twat. He acts like hes not a snob, but doesn't truly understand some people dont cum over swiss companies for their original design like he does. He assumes you can't simply like watches for their specs and affordability, not their heritage and resale value. Then claimes he hates homage watches...but reviews microbrands that clearly homage the submariner without any issues lol. Hes something else. Typical rolex guy, as his views on Omega demonstrate.
@@jd88gtr19 he is also a hypocrite and a fake person all around. Just type "Time Teller Orient". In one video he completely bashes Orient and in another he says he always loved it. Talk about honesty. Not to mention he is obnoxiously arrogant af
@@shakraljdopobede6442 You know who i really like? The urban gentry. He comes off as a snob, but in reality is anything but. He's got obvious rolex money unlike Jory, but has all kinds of awesome watches from swiss, to Japanese, german, including homages like long island, lorier, and some subby homages. He doesn't have a best brand mentality. Hes a man of specs and what he personally likes. That's someone who truly loves watches, unlike some people who bash others to make themselves feel better about being chubby. Lookin at you, Jory.
@@jd88gtr19 are you not aware of all the controversy surounding TGV?
@@baron5688 nope
looks like a winner, probably the first invicta I'd consider buying
It'd be the ONLY Invicta I'd consider buying. And guess what. I've considered it and I won't buy one.
Same here this may turn into an impulse buy given its only $100
@@ryan_bitzer - Your loss. I have more than 50 and haven't had a major problem with any other than routine battery replacement.
How dare Invicta make a watch that isn't a complete festering eyesore! Who the hell do they think they are!? It's almost n...n...nice?
Indeed! How very dare they. Much better than I was expecting, this one. Cheers mate!
@@JustOneMoreWatch Just One More generic rip-off, no thanks!
Simply, they found out copy/paste years ago and sticked to it ever since.
I was lucky to get one, well built, and made, good watch for the price, only the watch snobs will disagree, good video Jody, be well 👍
goPJgoPJ stuck* dumbass.
I bought this watch about a month ago and it has rarely left my wrist since then even though I own 50+ watches. I swapped the crystal with a double domed sapphire from Dagaz and it took the watch to a whole new level. Crystals made for the Skx007 are a perfect fit for this watch. I also swapped the clasp with a scissor style clasp from a Strapcode bracelet I had. Invicta has a winner with this one.
it's the best of the best
Still happy with it?
I was planning on swapping my clasp with an oyster clasp, one with a quick dive adjustment on it. I haven't even thought about replacing the crystal, how would one go about that?
its like Invicta listened to the watch community and said fine here is something tasteful that you will buy and will make us loads of cash so we can go out and make metallic purple 64mm monstrosities for people with no taste.
lol
Hahaha
Dead 😂 spot on, spot on.
Hey! Alpha M has to pimp SOMEthing! :)
I just said this on a comment just now before i read yours haha
I can't believe I'm saying this, but Invicta has knocked it out of the park with this one. An Invicta worth the budget collector's dollars? Stunning! I had seen loads of people talking about these on watch groups, and various photos (have to have the bond NATO), so it was good to get a thorough look at the watch. Thanks!
This one is actually really nice. Good job Rolex!
Oh, I mean Invicta, yes, yes.
The finishing looks great throughout the entire watch.
Big improvement, less branding and logo, hate mercede hands so like this one.
Totally agree, I don't like Mercedes hands too.
Agree
firepower9966 - Yep. Agreed. I have an old Pro-Diver and I like it. A lot. It's always had plenty of wrist time : I wear it on a rubber tropical strap and the heavy branding doesn't bother me. It's a tool watch for me. Working in the wet, moving stuff around, doing mechanical work or going to the beach. It doesn't matter. If it dies tomorrow I'd replace it tomorrow. It's more than paid for itself.
But if I owned a 1953, I'd I use it very differently. A weekend jeans and tshirt watch for sure. They are beautiful and would look GREAT on a Connery Bond nato!
I love them.
YES!
@@thetimemachine3828 I have a fairly new Pro Diver, and it is excellent. However, I do like something on the hour hand that differentiates it at a glance. The Merc thing is a cliche, granted, but maybe for a good reason--it's just elegantly legible. And it looks a lot better than "snowflake" hands, to me anyway.
That being said, here's another blasphemous watch I recently bought that has my favorite hour hand treatment,: a Timex Navi-Harbor. It's a quartz, 38mm field watch (no date), and has a 24 hour scale inside the 12 hour scale. The end of the hour hand is an empty ring that perfectly circles the 24 hour indices. It's a Timex, and I think it's a neat watch. Hope nobody minds.
this is the best thing to happen to invicta
only took the end of the world to happen
@@WatchUnwind savage yet accurate 😆😆
It’s a shame they only make this, and the pro diver as non huge gaudy watches. I like those 2, but I can’t find anything else that isn’t GIANT. So I’m not sure it’s the best thing to happen to invicta, I see it more as an anomaly. Super rare but still a great looking watch
This is probably my favorite hollow end link, pressed clasp, mineral crystal retro dive watch in my collection. I really appreciate the case finishing and the long, slim handset without a boring Mercedes hour hand.
So, as it's an Automatic, if it stops, its a case of "Shaken, not stirred".
Nice reference to James Bond, but it has an NH35 movement that is winding so it doesn't need the Seiko shake
Bwahahahaha
Not as clever as you hoped
Thanks for keeping us entertained during these weird times Jody!
Thanks for watching and stay safe.
An Invicta that's actually good. Shit, it really is the End of Times.
Agree it is actually nice. If the world is still here in a few months I may pick one up.
I was just about to say that haha!
pray for forgiveness while you still can
Your right....I just don't wanna get caught dead with one on my wrist during this Virus, or soon to come Zombie attack, Asteroid strike or Tsunami... at least a Casio on me-
Stay safe-
Thanks Wuhan/Kung flu!😷😂
This quarantine is making a huge good on Invicta Design Team. Nice video as always Jody! Best regards from Brazil
great Video Jody. A Bunch of my Facebook watch people were talking about this watch 2 months ago and I decided to wait, but now I guess I waited too long. Maybe best looking Invicta ever.
I'm so glad they removed the unnecessary Invicta branding and also brushed a lot of the surfaces, makes the watch look very attractive, especially side by side with the old one!
The moment everyone is waiting for 6:45
I think the modders are going to love this as a starting point.
That watch is a stunner.
Absolutely well done Invicta.
Another super, enthusiastic review. Top stuff.
Great review! Loved the comparison with the old pro diver. Looks like it wears a bit larger, I'm hoping they release a smaller one at some point
Perfect timing. I just trashed my last invicta work horse
I can see this watch being used as a gateway to the hobby of watch collecting, very nice looking watch for the cash.
mccstuff yeah an invicta pro dive was one of the watches that got me back into this silly hobby 😂
Phill Hayward same here. I have the 8926OB. One day I’m going to grind the etching off it and polish. Now there is the 1953 here I won’t mind risking it.
The Pro Diver was kind of my gateway drug.
Here, here. 8926ob was my cherry popper, once I started modding, I was hooked. Had this one for a couple months now, love it🤙
This thing might be harder to get right now than a real Submariner. I love it!
Nooo, we were supposed to keep this one a secret!
Secret... aka soldout everywhere days before this video was released
Got one for sale
Hmm, and now here in the uk you cant get them for less than £200!
I am SO getting one!
I think Invicta are starting to play with the big boys with the 1953!
To do that they have to improve the bracelet significantly. And even then it‘s not an Omega or a Tag Heuer, not even close.
But it‘s a start. Who had the idea Invicta would do something like that?
@@panorama4526 If they continue making watches with their own identity and move away from straight homages and crazy designs, they could threaten the now-overpriced Seiko 5s and possibly even entry level Orients.
I agree with your comment on the bracelet, but for the price you could throw on a leather strap or a NATO and still have a winner.
I prefer the older logo on the dial, looks allot nicer and I think set it apart from other homages.
I recommended you review this one on the gram! So glad for this and thank you for being a ray of sunshine is such weird times for all of us! Ride on!
Love to see you review one of the more outlandish Invicta styles.
I’m a huge fan of vintage style guardless crowns
Hopefully Invicta is paying attention and this is the beginning of a more tasteful trend in designs. Having owned several of their older subby homages, this one is my new favorite by far.
I was finally able to buy one of these!! Now I’m waiting for it to arrive. Great review, and nice Sean Connery impression!!
Wow what a difference between the 1953 and the producer. I love all my invictas (all prodiver variants) but this....I will get one immediately! Thank you so much for this review!!
I was so impressed I went straight to Amazon and bought the pro diver. I paid no where near $100. I was shocked to see INVICTA makes a watch smaller than a hockey puck. I think it s my favorite watch.
Did you get the Quartz or automatic
I bought the automatic. It has a Seiko NH-35 movement. It’s the work workhorse that Seiko put in a lot of their watches. I bought 6 overall to give to my sons and friends. I have had mine over 2 years and it keeps time about a minute or so every couple of weeks. I found out that some pro divers are assembled in Malaysia. They are faultless. I bought one which was assembled in China and sent it back. The day didn’t always turn over. But the Malaysian ones I would put up against a Swiss watch. People claim that they are ‘Rolex’ knockoffs. But look closely at a modern Rolex. There are a lot of differences. Hope this helps.
A "Submariner" homage that I actually like!!! and it's an Invicta that I like too!! and a price I love!! It's a yes from me Jody :-)
alan wright - Homage watches! Of course there is the usual watch enthusiast 'discussion' about their merit...or lack thereof. Invicta...the same!
But it's pretty hard to be critical of an homage to a watch that has been discontinued for over65 years and is pretty much made of unobtainium these days! And it's such a good looking watch with decent specs. Bloody good specs for the $.
So yep. We have an Invicta Subby Homage that is genuinely hot! And for good reason!
sharp looking watch no denying that
My favorite watch channel!
Reviews watches we can afford. We can afford expensive watches; but who wears them out. You keep them at home locked up and wear your G-Shock when you are out and about!!
Thanks
Moe in Florida
This seems to be a big step up for Invicta! I’m glad to see the case does not have the brand slapped on the side. That looks so cheesy! Great video as always Jody!!! I look for your videos first and foremost!
I just bought my first invicta. It's bigger than my lawn mower
😂👍
My opinion I like it I'm a guy with big wrist etc and invicta makes my size I'm not bling bling type just stainless diver type 44mm -48 mm is perfect for me thanks invicta great product with proper research from customers Amazon, videos from you guys helps for a great purchase
I’m a big guy so my wrist can handle some of the bigger invicta watches I have a grand diver, and a bolt wich I only wear them if the mood hits me lol
I knew it! The Invicta people are stuck at home too-- had nothing to do *but* up their game! Lol!
Finally, a decent affordable vintage no-date Sub homage. I have been waiting for this. I love my Invicta 30092. Sold out everywhere I look. I hope they make some more.
That’s much nicer then the older Pro Diver. I’m really not interested in purchasing, but hey did a great job with this.
I own an invicta 1953 and can tell you in my opinion that it’s probably one of the better watches invicta offers.It’s not a gaudy gigantic monstrosity on your wrist like almost every other invicta watch.Everything lines up perfectly.The watch winds very smooth.The lume has that dull yellowy aged look.If I could change just one thing,it would be its thickness.It 15mm thick but 12 mm would be ideal and set it apart from there pro divers.
That Sean Connery impression.
😅
😂
🤣
⚰️
Congrats Jody... you just made Invicta a favorite in the Watch Community! 🐐
Seriously this has to be best looking invicta EVER!!
You’re still missing out on the whole ASMR sticker scene for the more disturbed of your viewers 😁.
The watch doesn’t look too bad at all. Less branding really helps it.
These watches disappeared a couple years ago, then they were selling on ebay for $300-400. I waited another year and they were available again for $116 new in Amazon. Still works great ,reserve lasts a bit more without the complications.
Just got mine for 100 shipped to my house its awesome 👌
Ooooh! The only reason I’ve passed on the Pro Diver all these years is because of the branded INVICTA on the case. Now that it’s gone, I’ve got to keep an eye out for one.
I might be getting my first invicta! Thanks for the video!
"The big Invicta Clod Hopper watches"... made me laugh... only someone from the uk would say that.
My pro diver runs about +5 seconds a day unlike my orient ray that’s +40...love the pro diver. (Side note the Orient might have an issue)
It's seiko movement
For what its worth my Ray is running +7 seconds per day. The Orient has strong lume as well.
It might have been accidentally magnetized. Stop by your local jewler and ask them to put it on the demagnitizer. easy fix and very cheap if thats what it is.
@@mikewysko2268 Same here. My Ray Raven is about +7, and the lume is amazing for what you pay for that watch
Another Ray here at +7!
This one caught my eye a couple of weeks ago when someone posted theirs in one of my facebook groups. I would actually wear that. Not a bad effort at all! Someone also posted a couple of gorgeous vintage Invictas. It's really a shame they chose the direction they did. Cheers Jody. Be safe!
I was curious about this watch...thanks for sharing.
Damn dude, you really made us wait for the shot of the side!! Lol the main reason I am an invicta hater is that darn branding in the side of the case and I was waaaaating to see if they had dropped it this time. Yay! Finally an invicta I could like. I’m not surprised it is hard to find at the moment.
😂 I actually like the branding people ask is that a Rolex I say look can’t you read 😂
Phill Hayward 🙊🙈🙉😂
100% Bond! Me like! Thanks Jody!
I'm actually really impressed with this watch. Good job Invicta!
1:17 best part of the whole video hahaha really need more impressions Jody!!!
Definitely on my list. But given the current situation I'll probably only get my hands on one easter 2025. AFAIK, nobody in Europe even has one!
On the Invicta EU website, you can actually pre-order them. They are saying delivery is June 2020.
I've considered Invicta as a beater before, but logos everywhere 🤔😃
Oh, yes. The logos are egregiously repugnant. The actual watch under them, isn't that bad.
@Ray Han Well it seems more than ironic they've historically been desperate to slap their brand all over the watches, when they've been equally keen to photocopy someone else's design.
@Ray Han 🤔 I am Autistic, not sure if sarcasm or not 😉
I like it, clean, simple, practical. Looks good!
Got mine two days ago. It‘s a great dive watch, and a good hommage.
For this price it‘s outstanding. Get one.
They never got me with their pro divers... maybe that has changed , I’ve recently fallen in love with the somewhat similar looking Tudor Black Bay 58 but I’m trying not to sell a kidney
Here I need to buy toilet paper and you’ve got me buying an Invicta. Excellent review as usual.
haha think thats gonna happen to a few people on here
John Doyle - funny and agree
Lmao 😂😂😂
NIce! This is what I come to the channel for. Well done, mate!
Watching this video while wearing mine got it 3 weeks ago. I replaced the bracelet for a vintage one keeping accurate time :)
Such a shame they didn’t upgrade the clasp or end links. I’m glad they didn’t keep the polished midlinks though 🤮🤢
In a sense it stays close to what they used as inspiration for the watch.
@@Pyliip Agreed. This bracelet and clasp are miles better than what the 1953 Rolex came with.
Bram de Haas - Agreed. But it's just begging to go onto a Connery Bond nato strap anyway. I suspect most will be rippling that bracelet straight off, for better or worse.
Vanguard Coffee House yep, I think so too. A NATO strap serves most watches much better than a cheap bracelet. I’m a big fan of watches on bracelets but if they’re of bad quality, they go straight in the bin and get replaced by a nato or leather strap!
Bram de Haas - OK. TBH, I prefer a good leather strap, something about a lot of bracelets that I don't like, even when they are decent. I have only kept 2 of my watches on bracelets, mostly because they've been crap quality but the few pieces I have on bracelets they start at 20mm and taper down to 16mm and are so freakin' comfortable on the wrist.
I hope invicta starts having this level of branding going forward.
My eldest came back home from the States a few weeks ago then promptly self isolated. I'm going to see her (from an appropriate distance, naturally) tomorrow so I'll be able to get my first look at my Invicta she bought for me. Pretty excited.
I bought it precisely because it doesn’t have all the trimmings of the more advanced versions. I like the simplicity of this watch
At least you've got the whole Scottish thing down like Sean Connery.
INVICTA RULES!!!!!
LOL! I said the same thing ! "Did he actually say that!?!" And no branding on the case side wow!. Thanks for the review!
Nice review and a nice looking watch!
This one needs to be modded!
I'm not sure if the standard Pro Diver mods will fit though.The crystal seemed fractionally wider. But yes, this one will be staying for future projects! Cheers.
How would you mod it? I thought the whole point was that it looked like the original submariner?
@@JustOneMoreWatch Seiko SKX crystals should be the perfect fit
The dial does seem to be larger than typical dials from Seiko divers, SKX, Turtle, etc ... also bigger than the old Pro Diver which we know can hold standard Seiko dials 🤔
Yes, its a homage, but its a clean case to make something of your own. No Invicta dial to polish out 😂
Jodys recommending an Invicta, there was a pink super moon last night and Tom Brady plays for the Buckaneers....What’s next hoarding toilet paper?
Add a jubilee for a boost in the vintage vibe. That faded ghost insert is a nice faux patina touch.
I hope the high demand for this tells Invicta that we want more like this!
This kicks the ass out of my Seiko 5 (not the 5KX). Same movement, better proportions, a better bracelet, oh and half the price. Yikes
And stolen design from Rolex Sub from 1953 👌 Seems legit!
TikTalk to each their own🤷♀️
@@TikTalk but cannot beat it for the price as a homage and a huge improvement and surprise coming from invicta, at least they did it right this time
@@---Blue sure ;) But still - I'd prefer original design by Seiko 5, than another vintage Sub homage.
and no stock!
Invicta's are better than their rep ... I have a few and they look good, run fine and seem to be as well made as many other watches
Wow, I’m actually thinking of getting an invicta! Great video, thank you.
That reference to the exposed springbars on Sean Connery's wrist made my day! :)
Well Cody, you taught me to expect a lot from $100 with the Pagani Design watches you have featured. They are all Homages anyways. The the Hulk and Yachtmaster are way better value and still have change for one strap or more. I don't value Invicta so highly as to pay a premium for their brand.
SAME!
Jody
I’m waiting for a submariner homage made by a company with the brand name that’s just an anagram of Rolex.
Goodbyemrpink Rexol would be good, if you flash your watch real quick it might get mistaken for the real thing.
Love it! Have to give credit where credit is due. Invicta 1953 is very sweet!
Watched this tonight, another great vid, Sean Connery passed away today. Keep em coming, i look forward to each new vid
There's no such thing as a high demand Invicta.
I think perhaps this is one such watch.....
Try to find this one.
Your eating your own words! Lol now open mouth insert foot!
Come on Invicta, if you’re going to copy a Rolex, at least get the taper on the bracelet right 😏
I massively agree.
Then you would say they didn’t add enough of their own spin on it and you would have ripped it apart and accuse them of getting it wrong!
I was glad and surprised to see no Invicta etching on the side of the case. A good little review. Honestly, I would buy an automatic Timex before getting this watch.
I got the 30094 Invicta Pro Diver and my bezel has no. Back play and lume is brilliant. The only thing I didn't like was the strap being hollow but I've replaced the strap for a solid one and the watch has no faults at all and very happy with it.
I hate it when the brand is just a simple text... looks like some el cheapo China thing. They should have used the wing logo.
I hate wing logo
Your right
no invicta is hot, repeat please!
😂
After aaaall this time of holding out, I caved in and bought a pro diver last week. If only I'd waited!
However the old pro diver really impressed me once in hand, so I can't wait to get one of these.
I have been looking for one for a couple weeks now, tough to find, it is a really nice one. And no bad Invicta logo on the case, THANK GOD
I like the connery impression, but did you try wearing it while walking out of the sea?
On second thought, Jody can I buy yours?
Nice. I sold my pro diver as it was trying to hard but this one looks so much better and not instantly recognisable as a homage.
Wow. Nice. I especially like the throwback typeface on the rotor. Very 1953.
I have this watch, it’s great. It also is a homage to a discontinued watch from 70 years ago! It really isn’t anything like the original to me but it’s a great great watch.
