) that I bought off Amazon for $70. Up until then, I had worn it for 3-4 years and I didn't care that it was an Invicta or a shameless clone of a Rolex Sub. I wore it because it was cheap and automatic. As I got deeper and deeper into this "hobby" I found myself looking for anything but a Rolex, particularly the Sub. Honestly, I think I thought of the Sub as a watch for the mindless masses and too predictable. I tried a lot of micros, Sinns, UTS, Omegas, an IWC, a JLC, some Stowas, a Kobold, etc. and none of them stuck. To scratch that itch I was willing to try anything but Rolex.
Well, I'm not really sure if a switch was flipped, if I wore down gradually or if I was tiring of the constant buying and selling but I started to give some serious thought to trying to narrow it down to one daily wearer again. None of the ones in the stable fit the bill so I really started to give some thought to Rolex due to the history, etc. but especially due its versatility.
This past Saturday morning, the family and I just happened to be walking around a local shopping center that just happened to have a Rolex AD. I tried on the Sub C and I cannot tell you how close I was to buying it then. I decided though that I'd give it some thought overnight.
We get back home Saturday, I check DWC and lo and behold mbakes has thoughts of selling his 16610.
Well, it arrived today and I can tell you that the itch has been scratched.You've seen this watch a thousand times but here it is again - the clone of the Invicta 8926, crappy pics and all:
