***WRUW Saturday 24th October***

Right after I posted this, I started playing around with various combinations. The screws broke when I took the Invicta off the bracelet and couldn’t be replaced (Invicta haters insert comments here), so I put it on this nice leather deployant strap.

Your Invicta is much more nicer than mine that use seiko movement (wobble bezel, to thick case with glass caseback, sub par case finish and so on.. much cheaper though).. really looks great on your wrist and the leather strap suits very2 well...

Switched out for dinner at one of our favorite places -

I love that thing. I came very close to buying a similar model once.

Thank iyonk
It was my first automatic watch, which I bought in 2005. It has a nicely decorated ETA inside and is solidly built. I still enjoy wearing it, especially with the strap options since I removed the bracelet.

Hard to keep this one off the wrist for too long.

For a small fee I could keep it off your wrist for you. For long.

Thanks, it is one of the few "bargain" watches that stayed around, this particular one valued by Don Caddigan and myself even more so for what it meant to us as friends trading it back and forth.

Out of all the watches I have, only two are completely safe - this, and the Mido gifted by the bride.

So, how is the strap secured ?... Looks like some rather large holes in those lugs. ... Or is that just for the screw heads and they're the usual .8mm holes on the inside ?

Yes the holes are big. The screw bar holding on the bracelet was very wide and left holes far too big for conventional spring bars. My watchmaker came to the rescue by giving me two sets of what he called “Rolex” spring bars, which are much chunkier (I don’t know if they are actually made by Rolex).
