Potger Pietri

Hey guys, I just picked up the 7750 earth quake watch from PP. Was it made when Invicta

took over or was it before Invicta bought them? I remember the prowler that looked like the PP watch but had quartz movement in it.

Anyone owns one of them?

I used to own one--I think they come from the pre-Invicta ownership days but not totally

100% sure.

Like this one.

Its often been said that this case and bracelet is one of Invicta's best.

Potger Pietri became part of the Invicta Watch Group sometime after an

earthquake destroyed their factory with the now famous prototype surviving

untouched.

Ive been looking for this watch for a few years ever since I heard Jim talking about it when they were airing the Prowler when it first came out...

I hate putting this watch up for sale but need the money.

Even though PP is under the Invicta umbrella,

it's been said that Invicta allows them to do their own thing.

I took that as meaning that PP would be using the same materials as before.

Of course this was a while back, so things may have changed since that was last said. If we start seeing PP watches with Flame Fusion Crystals, and Tritnite, we'll know things

have changed. :-)

That case bracelet AND entire watch is one of Invictas best! Very unique and you have to

own it to know it. I have two of them

I belive it was before Invicta took over the company and its a very cool watch I have the

white dial, my only complat is that its hard to wind very limited space for your fingers.

Yes, have to sell it even tho its a beautiful watch. I took out all removable links but still little too big for my small wrist... hate selling it but I rather use the money on a watch I will wear

more often
