52mm? I was unaware that Invicta made dress watches. :shock:

But in the flesh, that blue face is all flat and lifeless: not as three dimensional as it deserves to be. Looks like a wrapper from a tin of Quality Street.

I have sinned but learned from th error of my ways

No sin noticed here, I've been looking for a blue diver and since the rolex sub only comes in green and black and this is offered at such a great discount I think I will have to.

There is a blue dialed sub.

But it is in white gold so is a little on the pricey side.

There's no hint of irony in your post so I'm morally bound to offer help and guidance. It was the great discount which lured me in too. Trust me, when it arrives the reason for this will become very clear indeed.

Oh wait a moment: Invicta and Rolex in the same sentence? Your irony is subtle indeed. :clap:

Did you know that an anagram of Invicta is "vain tic"

Better to stick to Christopher Ward...or should I say "Pro with car shred"?
