everything watches

[jose.28]

So i see alot of scams going on in the watch industry so i figured i would help watch lovers on here and answer any questions to better understand bad quality watch from good quality.
Also help with what you should expect to pay for batteries and repair.
That way you dont get ripped off.

I had a bad watch once, it calmed down after I got a couple more. It turned out that it just needed a companion, another watch to do watch activities with while I'm at work. Now I can honestly say that all of my watches are good, well behaved watches.

What do you think of Invicta? I've got a couple and I think they're okay for a cheaper watch.

Lmfao! BAD watch! Bad! BAD!!
I have a few Invictas in my collection. Beautiful styling, and very dependable. They're all close to the $200 mark, so I wouldn't call them cheap. Not exactly a Rolex, either.
I have a few Seiko watches, too. One is from 1969 and the latest one is the titanium.

I fixed my original post.

I've got a couple of them, my first was a graduation gift and my latest was a Christmas gift. I have no complaints, and I think they look great. My father-in-law has a few and is actually the one who introduced them to me, my wife (gf at the time) wanted to get me a watch for my graduation and when he saw her looking at Fossil watches he told her that he would handle it.

I have a Seiko that I like but can't wear anymore, I gained a little weight (ok a lot) and it's too tight. Once upon a time I had extra links for it but I can't find them.

 

[jose.28]

I think they are really good but only because of the price. Go to shopnbc they have a good contract with invicta. The parts that i dont like is the cheap movements there using.
And to be 100% Rolex is not all that its cracked up to be. I repair more new models then old

I have an account with seiko. Look on the back of the watch and you should see a 8 digit #
Example 7N49-6045. And see how many you need and ill see what i can do for ya.

Schrode just likes to watch... =devil

Aka daddy's girl.

Oh yeah i almost forgot. One of the flaws of invicta is that no one can replace parts on them. Invicta wont sell parts at whole sale to anyone and you have to send it to them.

Sometimes i am able to repair them but slim chance. I think fossils are great as well.

I was about to ask you if you could repair an Invicta.
The stem broke while attempting to replace the battery.

This is my "Watch Dog" Seiko... She's always watching.

Hello seiko! Lol. Well i may be able to. It all depends on, is it a screw down crown?
And is is a automatic or quartz. If you can post a pic i could tell ya what i can do.

 

[jose.28]

If the crown is like this and it dose not screw down then yes i can put a generic crown on it.

Now you said that the stem broke wile changing the battery, so I'm going to assume the back pops off and it broke putting the back on? If you can see 1 mm of the stem sticking out of the crown i can still use the crown. Just dont try to remove it your self i have a tool for that. Being quartz i know i can order or may have the stem for it. Ez fix.

Its these crowns that i can't get at whole sale.

Now i can get the parts for them dont get me wrong but they will cost me retaile.
Generally the way i price things at my shop is 3 times the cost. If i order a crown for $45 it would be $135 for the customer. And i can't do that its a rip off. I rather have them send the watch in. It would be way cheaper for them.

And remember when snapping a back on make sure to line up the notch on the case back with the stem lol.
