Re: Wats your thoughts on these watches?
Invicta is a great value for the money. I have a few or the more sedate looking pieces. I am hard on watches and they take a licking.

Re: Wats your thoughts on these watches?
Value watches that are nicely built for the money if you like such large and massive watches. I'm a big guy but those are far too oversized in my opinion, I suggest checking them out yourself before purchasing. I like the bold appearance of some of their models when looking online, but was shocked by their size when I actually saw them.

Re: Wats your thoughts on these watches?
That's a nice Victorinox, I have several of their automatic and manual winding models. Very nicely finished and reasonably priced for Swiss Made watches.

Re: Wats your thoughts on these watches?
the Victorinox watch cases (inside) are stamped made in china. The invictas are too (100%) even the automatic movements are copies or well known ETAs. and many of the legit ETAs are now made in...drum roll please...China. I'm not put off by Chinese made, their best factories were set up by the swiss so the quality is pretty good. id say any 'swiss' watch that retails under 2k has a very high probability of having some if not many of its parts manufactured in china.

George.......This is the most attractive of the three Victorinox watches you have posted so far. This one gets my vote.

Re: Wats your thoughts on these watches?
Rob is correct, there are strict Swiss guidelines regarding labeling a watch as "Swiss Made" vs just "Swiss", "Swiss Movement" or any other variation. In order to be marked "Swiss Made" I believe it has to have a specific percentage of Swiss parts including the movement and must have its final assembly in Switzerland. It does not however require all parts of the watch (i.e. the case) to be made in Switzerland. It's also likely that there are some examples of companies that violate these standards.
