    Just a quick note; pictures rarely do a watch justice. The low-res Amazon stock photos are a very poor representation of the product you will be receiving. Try doing a google image search for better pictures if you're unsure about a watch based on the image provided by the seller.

    Invicta is good in the under $100 range. I just bought the 8926OB w/ the NH35A. I was the mall yesterday getting some sandals, and stopped by Zales since I saw Invicta boxes.
    They were running a 25% off sale, I picked it up for $93+tax. So far so good, albeit I was able to pick up a couple of specks of something with my 10x loupe. Other than that, it's good. So far it's doing about 4 secs a day. Lume is very good, might be lumibrite just like the Orient Ray (The Invicta lasted all night and showed very similar characteristics of lighting up like a torch for 3-4 minutes then slowly dying down then holding stable through the night).

    Compared to my previous affordable it's not too bad at all, I may keep it. Ill try to keep on objective views.
    Let's see:
    -Orient Chicane (Sister's husbands): 2-3 specks of dirt, and crooked hour indices and flaws on the crystal (swirls on the inside of the crystal).
    -Orient Ray: 2-3 specks of dirt and 1 speck of lume on the dial and some misapplied lume hour marker. No crooked markers, but it was an inaccurate watch doing 15-25secs a day no matter how I tried to regulate (I've gotten 3 ST25's well within 1-2 secs a day).
    -Sterile Submariner: NICE watch for the money, no issues with it that I recall, and if I recall correctly there were 0 specks of dirt. I think the only issue I had with it was the crooked PIP point, it was literally drilled crooked.. (divers lumed PIP on the bezel).
    -Alpha Submariner: Dial was very good if i recall, only a small speck of dirt on the dial. Lume was terrible. The problem however was the movement was pretty dirty and sometimes skipped minutes/hours until I finally opened it and blew some dirt out the issues went away.

    If they put a good bracelet on the Invicta 8926 I could see it sell for double what they're asking for, or more.

    I looked at the Invicta 8926 and I didn't like it, because this watch is too simple, I want a watch that have also a stopper(I don't like digital watches).Do you have any other suggestion for me? (:

    Sekonda for sure.. Amazon.co.uk: Men's, Sekonda Wristwatches they have a huge range. From what I've gathered some countries don't have dealers...odd as in UK everywhere, and almost everyone has one or knows someone who has.
    Quartz nowadays mainly.
    Accurist is also worth a look

    There's a few of us scattered around here on the forum. Although, I'm hardly Israeli, just a bit of a linguist. Great to know that we now have one more .

    Usually, it will be marked as worldwide shipping on the sales page for eBay. Amazon is a bit trickier. So ask the sellers on both sites before ordering. Shipping costs may be a bit high, but I'm sure you know that already :-P.

    Leitraot achi. Hope to see you around here more.

    this watch is over my bugjet (do you have one in range of 100$? ).thank you.


    I liked very much that watch but unforchiatly I can't find it on ebay can you help me? and do you have Any more suggestion ? thank you.

    thank you all guys!
    Search for a used one. Like I stated, I found one for $50 on the sales thread. New it is over your budget, but if you are patient and diligent, you will find it within your budget.
