Reddit mentions of Invicta Men's 8928OB Pro Diver Gold Stainless Steel Two-Tone Automatic Watch

I'd go with an Invicta 8928

I've got a couple! They've all held up for 2+ years in casual situations and through some recreational swimming.

Invicta F0067, same size as the Grand Diver that you have linked. Automatic Submariner clone but bigger size which is why I bought it (I actually have an Invicta 8928OB which is a little smaller, standard Submariner size; ended up giving this one to my girlfriend). It's got a nice bracelet. This comes in an all steel/black face too.

Invicta 6927, the dial/case itself feels kind of small but the bracelet is a little wider. This comes in all steel if you don't like the two tone look. The bracelet is super comfortable.

Invicta 9223 is a Daytona clone; not a diver's watch per se but it supposedly has a water resistance rate of 660ft. Only ever took it in the shower and splashing around in the pool. This is mostly a dress watch for me.

I'm lucky that my Invictas are good quality. It's definitely a brand that gets flack for QA issues and unabashed replicas. Not saying they don't deserve some of that flack but when you dig in they have some solid models.

BTW I also have a Seiko Orange Monster. Ended up replacing the bracelet because I fell off my bike and fucked up the clasp; put it on a Watchadoo and it's awesome. I'm more into the big diver look but I love my OM, it always gets comments. The black one looks cool too.

I kind of like the two-tone look, but I'm worried that the gold plating will wear off the bracelet where it rubs against tables. I'm starting to learn towards this model now.

I have them both...along with about 40 other watches lol. They have the Seiko NH35a self winding movement in there. Solid daily watches sub $100USD in my opinion.

Also might be worth checking out Skagen if you are a fan of minimalist, light weight watches. I have one in my collection and love it.

Feel free to dm me if you have any questions!

Most dive watches are going to be too thick to wear with a dress shirt, unless I have the sleeves rolled up. That is 18mm thick which is huge, and the width is pretty brutal at 50mm. For reference the most diver sizes tend to be around 42mm wide, and around 13mm thick for automatics, and quartz tend to be thinner.

People with normal sized wrists tend to have a hard time wearing larger watch, since the lugs overhang their wrists. I have monster wrists, and even I don't like going much higher than 52mm tip to tip, and I am guessing that one is over 60mm.

If you want a flashy two tone, Invicta makes a few models that are a more reasonable size, like this one at 40mm wide and 12mm thick for $80 -- https://www.amazon.com/Invicta-8928OB-Stainless-Two-Tone-Automatic/dp/B000JQJS6M/ -- the 89xxOB models use either miyota or seiko movements, which are both good.

All of that said, if you like the dial ( which is cool ), then you should always get what appeals to you. It is your wrist after all.
