Waiting for Amazon to Re-Stock the Invicta Force F0046, Which Hopefully Will be My Next Watch

 

 

 

I'm a big fan of the Force line (they're super comfortable in spite of being 58mm across the case) and have a few in my collection, but this black Inivcta Force F0046 with the sharp contrast between white numerals and black dial, newly streamlined without the two crowns flanking the case, will hopefully be my next watch . . . that is if Amazon re-stocks it and sells it for the reasonable $170 they had earlier. I've been checking periodically and it has been out of stock for the last couple of weeks. 

I have a smaller version of this Force, the 50mm Invicta 6441, an exquisite design, but this model has a case curvature that gives my 8-inch wrist a slight pinch at the top, unless I wear the leather band looser than I want to.

So, when will you start considering today's breed of Invictas to be too small, and moving up to Tauchmeisters?

58mm? Jesus. My wrist is 7.25", and a bezel that's larger than 45mm looks comical. I also sometimes wear long sleeve dress shirts at work. If a watch is too big, I can't pull up the cuff to read it. Also, with a huge watch,

I'm trying to keep my watch purchases in the 42-45mm range. It's a good middle ground between the blingy boat anchors seen here, which will probably fall out of fashion in the coming five years or so, and the quarter-sized bezels of the 1980s, which could just as well be women's timepieces

If I had a watch repair person whom I trusted, I'd get a couple of Seiko automatics, which are below 50mm. The Seiko Black Monster and the Seiko SKZ255.
