My Invicta was stolen today

[Nato060]

I know, I know, it's only a $100 Invicta, but I am SERIOUSLY missing it. I was at the beach today, (it's Florida and like 80 degrees) so I decided to take my trusty 8926. I wanted to finally fix my watch tan lines so I took off my watch and stuck it in my bag on my towel and went out for a swim. I return and find my Invicta missing. Nothing else was gone, everything was there, even the gold chain I took off was still there, but my Invicta was no where to be seen. I searched around EVERYWHERE. I looked under my towel, around my towel. I even dug around the general area but it was totally gone. I don't know if I'll be buying another, cause the quality with Invicta watches is really unpredictable (in the case of my now missing 8926 it was one of the rare cases of a good quality Invicta). I know it's a very cheap watch, but I really miss it, I even modified the seconds hand to make it special, and now it's gone. But on another note, is there anything, anything at all I can do about a missing or stolen watch? I know, as I said before, that it's a very affordable watch and can be found almost anywhere for south of $100, but I'd really like to get mine back.

It will be missed...

If you got the older model with the Miyota, then they've only gotten better. Besides, wasn't it a gamble buying the 8926 to begin with? It's one of the very few good models Invicta puts out, and it's affordable enough to replace. :) It's a safe bet you'll get another good one.

I'm sorry about your loss. You can try posting in the stolen watches sub-forum.

The one who stole it probably thought it was a Rolex Sub and quickly snagged it neglecting your gold chain :)

Anyways, sorry for your loss. Good luck with the replacement ;)

That stinks. The obvious resemblance tempts thieves unfortunately

Mine was actually the newer one with the Seiko movement. Either way I hope the thief is enjoying his $100 (probably less since I jacked up the logo, replaced the seconds hand, and brushed the center links), so more like $50. Shame...

That sucks hard. I HATE thieves. I hope you are able to find a new watch that makes you just as happy!

Some ordinary people around.

Thieves suck, dude. Sorry about the theft. :(

Thanks for the replies guys, I think I may try an Orient out, probably a Mako. I've heard nothing but good things about those.
