I will contact Graham and figure that out... i hope.

Does the paperwork numbers coincide with the watches numbers and details?

Graham's US operation is referencing my serial number with what GHQ has on file.. could take up to 4 days they said... But, by the simple pics i sent KEn at GUSA he thinks it is real. I looked through the owners manual/passport. seems legit. I sent some of the pics to govberg's in PA and they think it checks out. Regardless, i have 90 days to do a chargeback on my credit card.

here are a few more pics.

If you bought it from a major vendor on that site, I would assume it's real. I would not worry much about it. These sites would not work if fake watches were being peddled. Get the paperwork done so it's official you own it. Buying watches both expensive like yours and even super expensive is an everyday event. I would've expected a croc strap, but I am not that familiar with the brand.

Was it a US based vendor?

When was the warranty card stamped?

When was the manufacture date?

Vendor was in Reus Spain

Warranty is gone. the watch is NOS from 2006. I can still register it as it did come with the "passport" (grahams info book with model info, warranty info, etc).

I talked with Graham USA... i am debatign sendign the watch in for an authenticity check... it will cost about 125.00 to do (40 ship, 50 check authenticity, 40 ship back) I should probably do it.

How could the warranty be gone if it's still new? Was it an authorised dealer? Is it an expired warranty that was already stamped? Seeing how the watch has been idle for almost 6 years, you should have it serviced if sending to Graham. Oils muck up after time within the movement.

AD that went under... selling off all old stock.

they are trying to start up again per our conversations.

Thats a great idea about the servicing. I will send it to the US service center in NYC.

Do you know if they've had any issues with them? I mean are they reliable?

I've never heard of the Suunto before, did a quick google and yeah, it looks a lot like the G-Shocks. Nice looking watches.

[Boz]

Not really sure Its been a while since I've worn a watch. I'm not typically nice to my gear and expect it to work anyway. The Suunto I was looking at is the X-lander. I like the features it has. If this is more of show what you got thread then maybe we should move it to banter?

[s15driftking]

Hehehehe

Ive wanted to start but i cant bring myself to wear anything els than my scratched banged up Rotary i got about 10 years ago.

[s15driftking]

yep, happy as a clam!

They are also writing an appraisal. I have been lazy, i have 2 other watches i need to insure.

In other news... i made my first strap.Buckle is in the mail. 26mm (but i dont own a panerai)





They will get better over time.

I can't even tell you how many times I've looked at that watch. A week or so back I found a site that had a smokin hot deal on it and still didn't pull the trigger. Is the face the same shade of orange as the band? In all Invictas stock photos, the orange seems different.

Great looking watch man.

Yes. There is one that actually has a red face but this is the one that is all orange. My wife picked it out because I have most other colors. It looks amazing in person so next time grab one.
