[New watch]

I just got a new knock-around watch.

From the internet, I think it is the HiPoint of the dive watch world, the Invicta Pro Diver.

Best I can tell, it's hated by watch snobs, grudgingly accepted by watch guys and loved by the fanboys.

The original pro diver is as close a copy of to the original Rolex Submariner you can get for $60 - $70.

Homage watch is the term used.

I was actually looking for a field watch style and Invicta popped into my search.

The model I got, 35422, has the field watch look with the simple, clean Rolex-like dive styling, without the maintenance costs of a high end watch.

I have a high end automatic Swiss watch, with daily wear, it requires maintenance every 3 ish years or so. It costs, you gotta pay to play. 

Being a left handed shooter, I wasn't interested in buying another high end watch and subjecting it to recoil.

Didn't see a G-Shock that really caught my attention...

For $60 plus shipping, the quality is pretty amazing.

Stainless steel case with substantial weight, finish of high polish and brushed surfaces is good.

Flame Fusion synthetic sapphire crystal, nice marketing.

This model does NOT have Invicta etched into the case opposite the crown.

The additional etching Master of the Sea and Pro Diver at the top and bottom of the face seems optimistic.

Screw down crown, a little gritty, who cares 

Fave and bezel are well done, lume fades but visible up to 6 hours.

I like the counter balance  Invicta logo on the second hand

What sold me on this watch was the exhibition back and seeing the works.

It uses a Seiko NH35A automatic movement.

 

That NH35A will keep great time, and serve you well!! Great looking watch!!

After the Black Talons went away, we were issued the HydraShock rounds. Good ammunition.

I have 500 rounds of black talons in a Rubbermaid container

I got a Mako USA several years ago. I recently replaced the bezel with an SKX bezel and a Pepsi ceramic insert. The original bezel was beat up. Looks brand new again.

That looks awesome!! My only complaint with the orient is I wish the crown was bigger, or the knurling was alittle more aggressive

Nice Orient. I’m watch guy myself. Took up watchmaking as a hobby a few years ago and now spend most of my spare time collecting, repairing, and selling vintage watches, primarily Longines, Omega, Seiko, and Rolex.  A hobby that typically pays for itself plus some. 

I’m actually in the process of doing the same thing! I’m having my website built right now, I’m hoping to launch by the 1st part of September. I’ll just be buying and selling, but if I need one repaired I know who to call now  

[New watch]

I bought a new orient komasu, or mako iii depending on where you buy it. Orient is owned by seiko, and the komasu is taking the place of the SKX. The sop in New York that I bought it from wanted a picture for their Facebook so I sent them this lol!!

[I'm a daddy!!!!]

Well they started warming her up last night and today she is at100% she is also the giant of the NICU haha 2 feet long and almost 10lbs she still so tiny though. As for when she starts dateing ill have about 5 watermellons set up in the years and when I see him pull in ill just let loose with my AK on em and then when he gets out ill explain how a watermellon acts like a human head when shot......them ask him if he would like some brains

[I'm a daddy!!!!]

I am buying a lifetime sprotsmans license when we get back to west tn, I figure ill do that and the oppertunity will be there when the time comes iv got one and I buy them for all my friends sons and daughters....if they don t ever use it oh well but I'd they do it will be that much easier for them

[I'm a daddy!!!!]

Thanks guys!! My wife is doing great, girls are a lot tougher than we give them credit for hahahhaha she is up walking around I looks silly pushing an empty wheelchair with us everywhere but I really don't like her walking long distances so better safe than sorry....we had her at 0110 and at 1500 we were in the jeep headed to vandy my parents drove up from florida yesterday so everyone is here making sure everyone is taken care of

[I'm a daddy!!!!]

Well my daughter Riley was born 3/19/13 at 0110 she was 8 lbs 12oz and 24 inches long!! I'm 6"4 and my wife is 6"1 so she has some growing to do haha. We 're here at vandy in the nicu, she had some trauma to her head from the suction thing the doctor used, and her cord was wrapped twice around her neck. It wasn't pulled tight, and she wasn't blue or anything just tangled up. She is doing much better now and the swelling on her head has gone down....iv had about 4 hours sleep in the past 2 days. They also have been cooling her core temp. Kinda like an induced hypothermia it basicly makes the body send blood to the vital organs in the body that may have been starved of oxygen during birth due to the chord being wrapped around her neck.

I bought her a pink .22 a while back from gander a while back and iv got lots of rounds sealed up so when she gets old enough we can get out in the yard and I can show her how to shoot just like my dad did me!!

[She's waiting.]

When I renewed mine it took 3 weeks....the new ones are crazy looking and really thin compaired to my old one
