原文: I love this watch. I'm not a high end collector, as there are many things I'd rather do with my money once I get to the $1k to $2k range (i.e. travel!). So I've limited my enthusiasm for the best quality watches I can find at an affordable price. My Seiko SKX009, my Orient Blue Ray, my Bulova Marin
e Star, and my hand full of Timex watches make me very happy. But I must say, I'm a sucker for a homage watch. Especially the Submariner. What a classic! And while I appreciate the brands that make there's different enough to stand on their own, I wanted a Sub homage as aesthetically close to the real thing. I kept coming back to the Invicta, as has so many of the details of the Submariner. I kept hesitating, because, as you probably know, the Invicta brand is quite a despised brand in the high-end watch world. But for the price, I decided there was little to lose.
I must say, I've had my share of fashion watches (i.e. Fossil) that have lasted me 6 months, and I've had my Seikos that have lasted me many years, and this definitely feels like it's in the "last for years" category. It's a solid, high quality watch. And this is probably why it's hated by so many. Invicta is a high marketing operation that plays to all kinds of tastes (95% is not for me!), but this one is classic. I liken Invicta to the New Era 5950 baseball cap. Do they make hats that look absolutely absurd? Yes! But will that keep me from owning an on-field MLB authentic cap of my favorite team? Of course not. So yes, pass by those ridiculous over-the-top Invictas out there. But don't pass up this. I'm certain the Rolex is ten times the watch this is, but it's also 80 times the price! If I get five years out of this, I'll have gotten 10 times the value.
Bottom line is, this is a solid watch, it keeps fantastic time, and it's absolutely gorgeous too. It looks great on all my nato and zulu straps, and the bracelet that comes with it passes muster with me. I've included photos of the 8926OB with a leather strap to show its versatility.

译文: 我喜欢这款表。我不是一个高端的收藏家,花个一两千块钱我宁愿去做其他事,比如去旅游。所以对于那些我收藏的又买得起的手表,我的热情受到了限制。我的Seiko SKX009,我的Orient Blue Ray,我的Bulova Marine Star,以及我手上的Timex手表都让我非常开心。但我必须说,我是一个痴迷于homage的傻瓜。特别是Submariner。多么经典的手表!尽管我很欣赏那些能够让自己与众不同的手表品牌,但我也希望Sub homage在美学上更接近真实。我一直用的都是Invicta,因为Submariner的许多细节都是如此。我一直犹豫不决,因为你可能知道,Invicta品牌在高端手表界是一个非常遭受非议的品牌。但是对于价格,我认为没有什么可考虑的。
我必须说,我拥有的时尚手表使用时间至少都超过了六个月(即Fossil),而且我的Seikos已经用了很多年,而且是绝对已经用了好几年的那种。 这是一款很耐用,品质很不错的手表。这可能就是为什么它被这么多人讨厌的原因。 Invicta的营销手段很高级,满足了各种需求,这手表是很经典的。我将Invicta比作New Era 5950棒球帽。他们会制作那些看起来十分荒谬的帽子吗?会!但这会让我因此放弃去买MBL里我最喜欢的球队的帽子吗?当然不会。所以,是的,略过Invictas那些荒谬的手段。但是不要错过这个。我确定劳力士的手表的质量是它的十倍,但劳力士的价格也是这只表的80倍!如果我用了五年,我将获得10倍的价值。
最重要的是,这是一款耐用的手表,它的时间准确,而且外观也非常好看。它和我的nato和祖鲁zulu表带搭配起来都很棒。我已经上传了带有表带的8926OB的照片,以展示其多功能性。
