Buckeye1647545503 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 I want to get my dad and grandpa matching watches for fathers day (and engrave them) What is a good watch (and or watch brand) that will last in the say 100ea price range (Note neither are "watch snobs" or whatever so a watch that work and looks nice is really the only requirement) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Brian Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Invicta sells cheap nice-looking watches. Check http://www.1saleaday.com and click the "watch" tab for their daily deal on a nice watch. Or just click this http://1saleaday.com/watch/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2highpsi Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 You can always pick up Invicta watches that "list" for $800 for $100 and under, and some of them really look nice. My Invicta 7133 skeleton gets more compliments than my Tags or other watches that cost significantly more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeye1647545503 Posted June 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Is there a site for the invicta's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoMeSomeFun Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 I used amazon for my purchases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Invicta is incredibly played out. Their high msrp (fake) is what attracts people to buy them. If you are attempting to buy someone a keepsake with meaning you need to go another direction. You asked for help/opinions from people who are embedded into the watch community.... You got it right here. Pm me for a website that might help you find what you are looking for as I don't want to put it on blast on CR.

schmuckingham Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Scott I also say go for Invicta, I have a few and they wear nice and look pretty good. Most people buy watches for looks and some buy them as an investment. I would start on Amazon and look inside your price range and see what you like as far as styling.

Ramsey Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 at $100, i say get seiko. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Hamilton, spend more. This. While Invicta look and feel nice I wouldn't buy one as an intended long term gift for someone. Look at Hamilton (my vote), Tissot, or Skagen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 ^^^ yep, and also, seiko is an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucd Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 my dad's a retired watchmaker and one more vote for seiko. although i don't wear them myself, some of them can be had at a great price. -D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
