Here's mine - I went for a cross between the Tudor 7928 and 7923. Used Slim-Bo hands from Ofrei and a dial from Ken. Awaiting my seconds hand. Logo has also been removed from side of case.

Just removed the cyclops. does that count as a mod? either way i like it. love the nh35a movement. invicta did a great job for under 80$ if you ask me.

I bought an 8926C about 2 weeks ago, partly to see if I liked wearing a 40mm sub-type watch without spending a boatload of money, and partly to see if Invicta can possibly be as bad as some people say. I figured I would wear it for a couple of weeks (or days) and then stick it in a drawer and buy something good.
Turns out it's an amazingly good watch for the money. The NH35A movement is probably the best affordable automatic movement on the market; it hacks, handwinds and is as accurate as it needs to be. Nothing has failed or fallen off the watch, the screw-in crown (always a potential failure point, even on much more expensive watches) works smoothly and feels solid. The bracelet is at least as good as the ones on my Seikos. Better than some.
So far the only thing I'm unhappy with is the nasty logo on the dial, and the winged second hand. The engraved "Invicta" on the case could go too.
Sorry I got long-winded there. My real question is: what size is the dial? Measuring from the outside, it seems to be about 29 or 30mm.

They have solid movements, Miyota or Seiko, they are a pretty comparable homage, and you can buy them for $50-$80. They are fairly easy to mod. The stock bracelet is decent.
In my opinion it is a "bang for your buck" thing. Invicta makes a great Sub homage. They may not do everything right, but they definitely did the 8926 right.

Lol. The donor watch was a Techne Goshawk whose rotor I mangled and Franck J at Techne was nice enough to send me not just one but 2 replacements.
