|  | Considering an INVICTA « Thread Started on Oct 30, 2009, 6:29pm » | |
I'm looking at a gunmetal Grand Diver. My collection consists of mostly Stainless watches so I'm thinking about adding some darker colors for more depth.
This is what I'm looking at

Congrats! I think you'll be happier with the Seiko anyway. Which model Seiko is it?

The Seiko I got was model # SKA366 here is a photo from Ebay

One issue is the bracelet has been shortened by two links so I may have to get a new one. I am thinking about changing to a leather strap instead. The draw back is Seiko likes to make things difficult and the mount for the bracelet is just 9mm wide.

You could try Coserv in NJ. They are the official factory service division of Seiko Corporation of America. They might have links for that bracelet. Their numbers are 800-722-4452 or 201-529-3316. Email is custserv@seikousa.com Good luck.

X2 on the CoServ.
You may have liked the INVICTA. Swiss auto and is probably the same movement as the Steinhart's and DeBaufre's.
I do like mine, especially for the money!
