Yeah. That one on the upper left---Invicta? I always thought they missed on the face design----chrono outline looks like Mickey Mouse. Invicta needs to cool it a little. Maybe they need a break---and then need to come back with a refined line of upper end watches with a much more subdued bling factor.

This seller in Israel has some very cool old Seiko watches, along with at least one Citizen, some Casios and Swatches too. Prices and shipping are very reasonable. I've purchased E-Bay watches previously from Israel and haven't had any problems.

Hey, these are the ones I've kept.
The one on the upper left is actually one of my favorite Invictas - the mid-size Subaqua Specialty Reserve 0524. The silver chrono doesn't look so Mickey Mouse in the flesh, although I'll take a look later...maybe you've ruined it for me.

Yes, I gathered, and I like all of them. The funny thing is that about six months ago, I probably would have liked the larger diameter ones best, followed by the two smaller diameter ones. Now, I love the look of the smaller ones and the less intricate/less bold larger ones. I was going to ask Jeff if he has the same Invicta that I note the Mickey Mouse outline on. I remember him reviewing an Invicta with that look and back then---the Mickey Mouse comparison struck me. Shouldn't ruin it for you as they are still quite popular on E-Bay.

Angelo, I sold my Mickey Mouse a few days ago, for a dollar more than I paid for it.

I'm not surprised as a lot of Mickey Mouse watches increase in value.
