Invicta 2300 Ocean Ghost Mini Review by taro1313

[TNT13]

I haven't done reviews of any sort in a while, but when a lady asks you, how can you refuse?

Hi Taro, I think you have made a great choice. My father has that same watch and it's really a hot watch. I have worn it a few times and I really don't notice the yellow. It does not seem that obvious. What a GREAT deal you got it at. Please show us some wrist shots when you get it. Enjoy.

I ordered this on the 16th from Invictashark and received it today, 3 days later. Now I know what people say about Invicta, but THIS is a NICE looking watch! Living up to it's reputation of poor QC, it did have a very minor scratch on the left side of the case where it says Invicta, but it's not enough to return it.

The yellow paper box was crushed in the corner but no biggie.
Here's a picture of what you get.


I was most concerned about the size, but at 51mm including the crown, it's not overwhelming.
Here's a pic next to the 8926C as a reference. It appears a bit larger than it should because the 8926 is in the background.


And as requested, a wrist shot.
I think it sits rather nicely, no?


I just wanted to point out a couple of things I didn't know until I had the watch in hand. Most photos of the watch are deceiving as the indices appear to be a matte finish. Actually, they are very shiny. I can't say which I would have preferred, but it wasn't what I expected. It definitely gives it a more blingy effect. The middle links all have Invicta engraved on the inner surface, which is a nice touch. Also the center links are polished while the lateral links are brushed.

I must agree with watchgirl that the yellow crown doesn't bother me that much because it's not a surface you look at all the time. I'm glad I ordered the watch, and it will definitely get some wrist time.
