Interesting thread. Years ago, I used to own nothing but Invicta quartz watches and only had one issue after owning over 300 of their watches. I think that their watches had a much better build years ago, but that is just my opinion. And yes, I was a chronic flipper. ;-)

Yes, I agree with you. The older models Invicta's were built much better than some of the new ones. I think I had about 100 or so back then, but jumped off of the Invicta wagon and sold all of the to get some much higher end watches. And yes, sadly I flip watches way to much myself! I think I even have some posted now to flip! I need to stop! lol

Yes, Invicta uses the ETA G10 Chrono movement which is a low cost plastic throw away moment. The Ronda's they use are rock solid in my option. Some are the same that are found in the higher end watches Like Tag. They use the Ronda 5040 as does Invicta, but Invicta used them in their older watches like the Speedway. It is all about which movement you have and knowing about which watch to get!
