A sentence without a verb. Another one. This is the only offensive weapon permitted on most airlines. With a 51.5mm case only 16mm thin and light as a 249gm feather, yes, you too can accessorise like a veteran lumberjack. For Invicta 1088 this is the lowest ever price on Amazon which is advantageous considering Invicta state the MSRP is US$1,995. I haven't laughed so much since my granny caught her tit in the mangle.

    It was the left one by the way….you know…in the mangle

    • +2

      Is that you Grandad?

      • +1

        Actually….thinking about it ' I haven't laughed so much since Granma died…or Aunty Mable caught her left tit in the Mangle'….COPYRIGHT Derek and Clive.

        • Regardless of what was done with the lobster for marilyn Monroe.

        • +1

          Hahaha….this bloke came up to me the other day and he said you *#$@

        • @totally munted: Woz that the 'ardest job you ever done?

  • +2

    Is the rrp real?

    • +3

      Yes, the Invicta website calls it MSRP.

    • +1

      real but pulled out of their asses

  • +3

    Why is it so much less than RRP? It's cheap on jomashop too.. (92% off)

    • +3

      That is the Invicta style of marketing.

      • +2

        Ah, price anchoring

  • +4

    Will I become a royal with the size of that crown?

    • +2

      Nope, you're doweyy.

    • +4

      Arise Prince doweyy!

    Reported for joke post.

    • +5

      Don't forget to upvote.

      • +1

        Ok while this is not to my taste and it's massive at 51.5mm, I have upvoted because it's the lowest price since August 2011 according to Cameltoe.

        Also the reviews on Amazon are mostly positive.

        • Wellll not really. It sold direct from US Amazon for US$69 3 months back.

        • +1

          Did I say something wrong?

        • @WatchNerd: I'd say so. You upvoted based on an inaccuracy. It's no big deal, just interested to see how it affects your decision.

        • +1

          If you have another way of finding a more accurate price history please share?

        • +1

          Great thanks, so basically you clicked on the chart for Amazon as the seller as opposed to the 3rd party, I get it now. I always forget to do that and was looking at the 3rd party seller.

          I'll still upvote as it's the 2nd lowest price in almost 7 years, and the Op posted in good humour.

        • +1

          @WatchNerd: There's a recent downward trend of you look. It could fall sharply again…

        • @Lps: Appreciated. I have amended my description accordingly.

        • it's cheap, but ugly …. so I won't vote at all …. love their rolex homages though, own 2 automatics and are great watches.

  • +4

    Do you think I can hang my lucky charms on this the chain PJC?

    • +1

      Most of your keys, too. Then you can jingle-jangle like you always wanted.

  • Looks like it has a built in hip flask with that cap and chain, then again it is a “Russian “ diving watch…

    • Yeah 50m, so it's ok for diving in the kiddies splash pool.

      • this is a Chinese copy crap, the original USSR watches were rated to 700m!

        • this is a russian dive watch "style" in the size of the crown (seem to lack a face though) ….lacks a few features for dive use so that's probably why they didn't both about about 700M.

  • +2

    I hope this wasn't used on the Kursk…

  • +2

    Thanks OP ordered the black one.

    • +1

      Well done! Come back with a photo or two!

  • +3

    Does it have Russian hacking?

    • Russian inspiration, perhaps.

    • Comes with this diver doesn't cheat t-shirt

  • +2

    Anyone wanna buy my house - RRP $72m - $600k delivered

    • Another great bargain! What a lucky day! Did you buy the blue watch?

      • No. I find it difficult to trust those who artificially inflate their RRP's to that extent. By the way mine was a joke, just before the mods jump in.

        • I knew it! A despicable troll! Penalty box for eternity! You want the black one, don't you? Inflated RRP is Invicta marketing strategy. The Amazon reviews are mainly effulgent with praise.

        • @PJC: It's a matter of principle…just can't do it

        • @Lps: Quite a few watch companies do that on their websites.

        • @PJC: It's an interesting marketing strategy. Can you imagine Apple trying it. iPhone X, RRP $30,000 - $1800 delivered.

        • @Lps: True indeed, but if you like a really chunky see-me-coming watch with visible movement, this one is a conversation piece.

  • +2

    The watch that Putin wore at this week presidential speech to his party meeting , but his watch got the invisible button for invisible nuclear rocket.

    • +2

      Ask him nicely and he may lend you it.

    • +1

      trump's watch has a bigger button than putin or kim's for the nukes ….

  • Water resistant to 50 m (165 ft): In general, suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, but not diving or snorkeling.

    • +2

      Yes, do not dive with this Diver watch. I've added 'style' to the title.

  • +4

    Wow that is eyewateringly UGLY! Haven't seen anything that hiddeous since the urban sombrero:

    • Did you order the blue or the black?

  • +1

    the Russian Big Ben….

  • +1

    I want this to go on the shelf by my Stockhausen LPs and the copy of A Brief History of Time.

    • +1

      I preferred early Tangerine Dream.

  • Some thing doesn't seem right with this. $139.50 delivered with an RRP of $2,567 ?.

    Is the RRP a total joke?.

    • Normal Invicta marketing. Some other watch brands also state infeasible RRPs on their websites.

  • +1

    Here is how the original watch is made (700-meter diver, made from the decommissioned navy ship):

    • I love the you tube clip ….. made from remelted toilet pipes ….the first machinist is wearing a suit and T-shirt ….. and the waterproof test , she puts it into a bowl of water …..

  • +1

    I have seen smaller wall clocks

  • +1

    so it's a dive watch, but according to the description, it's not for diving???

    • +2

      Yes it's a diver style watch, lots of brands do this including Citizen and Seiko.

      • oh…

  • +2

    In case anyone wants to buy a 'real' Russian dive watch, what you are after is a Vostok Amphibian

        Thanks, forgot that one. I've only ever purchased from chistopolcity, but I know meranom is good too.

  • Wow, what's with the crown?

    It looks like it doubles as a sink plug in case you lose one at home.
