Sorry guys, T25 has a very mellow glow, and any ambient light at ALL in the room makes it impossible to see.

PITA to shoot, not gonna do it.

Especially because you guys wanted Tritium, you know exactly what to expect.... so we're all

good.

I love the caseback design. The strap is not very impressive. I was hoping for a SAN III or IV

platform (case) for these tubes. But, maybe that would have brought the price point way too high. The dial design is OK, I guess. To be fair, tritium tubes limit what one can do with the

dial design. I'm looking forward to what Android is going to do with their tritium tube lumed

watch. However, again, that caseback design is pretty awesome.

Strap is a bit of a let down, but silicone is better than stiff rubber (get your minds out of the gutter boys!)...

"Swiss Movement" ... since it is not Swiss Made should make this watch affordable down well

below $400.

I like the dial/face but wish it was on a bracelet. The case back is interesting but ... but ...

interesting is about all I can say about it I guess.

Not a bad overall watch but it will all depend on the strap/length and the bottom line cost. If

its over $350 for a non Swiss made watch than its for surely a big no but if its under $350 it will have to be considered and if its under $300 it might just make it home depending on the

strap/length but I was seriously hoping since it was an Selita movement that it would have

been a Swiss Made watch.

It is a very nice watch and something that Invicta has been mentioning for well over a year

now but depending on the price at the time of airing there is a tubed DB that calls a little

louder.

Likes: trit baby!

Classic GD case size

500m WR

Caseback (wow)

Dislikes:

strap/bracelet (a nice non tappering ss bracelet would have been ideal)

Is that a lume dot on 60 position of bezel and not trit?

No trit on second hand cyclops eye

dial looks too busy (Scuba guy could be removed)

Pro's:

Tritium Tubes

Classic Case Size

Killer Caseback!!!!!! 500m W/R

Sellita SW200 26 Jewel Automatic

Con's: Silicone Strap is OK, prefer SS Bracelet similiar to the Reserve Pro Diver

Wimpy Second Hand, No Lum????

Scallop Bezel is OK, prefer Coin Edge Bezel

Remove the Old School "Grand Diver" engraving on the case

I'm on the fence with this GD, after waiting 8 month I'm just a little disappointed.

Maybe I'll have to wait and see if Eyal puts a Selitta SW200 in the New 47mm Reserve Pro

Diver case!

Larry, I would add your above pros and cons to my list as well. About the "Grand Diver"

engraving, the more I get into watches, the more I appreciate little to no text on my dials

and no text/engraving on my cases.

Not a bad overall watch but it will all depend on the strap/length and the bottom line cost.

If its over $350 for a non Swiss made watch than its for surely a big no but if its under $350 it will have to be considered and if its under $300 it might just make it home

depending on the strap/length but I was seriously hoping since it was an Selita movement

that it would have been a Swiss Made watch.

It is a very nice watch and something that Invicta has been mentioning for well over a year

now but depending on the price at the time of airing there is a tubed DB that calls a little

louder.

The problem is that you're assuming costs that you don't actually know.

Prices of movements, construction, new tooling, plus all of the costs associated with using

T25 (raw material, manufacture and dial-set, import costs and taxes, etc)... you can't just make up a price and justify it without knowing how much it really costs. That's like me

saying that a Ferrari should cost $30,000 and making up a bunch of prices with no factual

background...

Sneak Peek threads are to show you exciting new items coming soon... not for debate, not for negativity ("Meh, I don't like it".... then simply don't post on this thread, easy enough),

and are done as a favor to those who might need a longer heads-up in order to prioritize the

$ or save up the $ to be able to buy what they are interested in.
