    Even an unusual watch (with markings) like this or this can start interesting conversations, particularly when (like the first) there have been modifications made.

    +1! I've destroyed my fair share of watches too!

    Do all of the Invicta 8926c watches have "Invicta" engraved on the side of the case? I've only seen several at the store and all of them had the engraving, so I was wondering if it's standard or if you can get it just plain.

    Every one I've ever owned (three now) has had it. I can't recall ever seeing one without it. Maybe someone else has?

    The one I own and all others I have seen have the INVICTA on the side of the case. I didn't like it at first, but now I think it "adds" to the watch and think it looks good on the side.

    Ewwwww. Takes Invictas off my sonar scope, then. I don't need branding all over my watch. Dial, crown and clasp is enough for my taste.

    Nah, it's barely noticeable IRL, unless you're staring at the side of the case. The payoff is a super high quality homage at a very low price-- just got mine yesterday, and it rocks:

    Finally received my Rouhelena Sub Homage and it is a beauty. The case is nicely machined and has a nice heft and the bezel is 120 clicks and quite sturdy. Honestly I was not expecting much out of the watch but I got it for a song on the FS forum and the best part is it has a genuine ETA 2836-2 inside! I sent the watch over the Jay at MotorCityWatchWorks who installed snowflake hands and removed the cyclops. Thumbs up to Rouhelena and Jay!

    AKA sea serpent hands? Nice looking all the same, thanks for sharing.
