As my late great uncle once demonstrated when we were all comparing and waxing lyrical about our nice watches at a family get together, he just pulled back his sleeve to reveal his basic £30 Citizen and said 'so what time do you make it then.?' ) At the end of the day a watch that keeps good time is enough for the majority of people. But if your Invicta is working well for you and is within your budget then why not stick with it?Īnyway, it's all subjective. I would personally prefer to pay a bit more on something of better quality. I don't think it's necessary about having an eye for a quality watch, I think it's just applying the general rule in that more often than not you get what you pay for. Not really sure if that will turn out to be true or if the strap will fit, but I should know in about a week or so when I get both items, and I will post pics of the combination along with recommendations and address any issues. It should be noted that I bought a 20mm strap because my research concluded that the Alpha watch has a 20mm lug. I'm not sure what to think of this, but I bought this combination anyway because the strap is only 25$ USD. The distributor is saying that they are aftermarket Omega straps that do not have an logo identification on them. The watch comes with a metal band, so I have been looking for a good rubber strap alternative to the Casino Royale one, and I found this: This watch is still the best alternative from what I have found, and the Ebay supplier is offering it for 107$ USD. So, the watch is probably well known and is the Alpha Planet 922C. Anyway, I found a great Casino Royale Planet Ocean with rubber strap alternative, and I thought some might be interested in it.

I've been trying to find a good place to post this, but I cant find a dedicated thread for this.
