A Few Invictas Going Home!
Hey guys and gals. I decided to take a little rest and relaxation and took a trip to France.
While I'm here I'm going to spend a couple of days in Switzerland and thought it would be great to take a few of my Invictas back to their motherland. (now, now let's stop before we
start )
I did not get carried away and bring the whole collection. Just a Lupah, Bolt, Pro Diver and
Excursion.
Any suggestions on watch related places to see or things to do while I'm there in Switzerland? I have no idea of exactly where I'll be or what all is on my agenda but watches
are part of the plan. Currently in Lyon, France.
Had to drop in and stay in touch. After all, I can't miss out on deals just because I'm on
vacation.
Off topic but if Dan releases his T-Rex straps someone please post up here as well.
Enjoy and thanks for any suggestions you might offer.

Seriously though you were just kidding about him trying to find them in a retail store aint
If you end up in Geneva, you may want to visit Rolex. Whether you like them or not, a ton of history and innovation from one of the best known brands in the industry.

Geneva is the place to go for sure and get yourself some swiss chocalate while your there
Thanks for all the feedback and well wishes. Staying in Lyon. So far I've only made it to
Cannes, Nice, Monaco, and Monte Carlo. Sorry to say no signs of Invictas except mine. But
we are heading to Switzerland next Friday. If anyone has an address of the Invicta factory, I sure would see if I could go by and take some pictures.
I did create a ton of converasion with a gentleman and his family from Holland. While eating
dinner one of his teenage boys was admiring my combat Bolt and the dad wanted to test his command of english so we struck up conversation. I explained to him about Invicta and
proceeded to take off the watch and do a show and tell. A little nerveous as the Bolt got
passed down the line down to his younger kids, but then he pulled off and showed me his
Breitling. A ture watch fan he was indeed.
I must say, he genuinely was impressed by the Invicta. So much so that he asked a lot of
questions, wrote the name down, made sure he spelled it correctly and asked where he
could buy online. We did not talk price at all, but he was impressed by the swiss made, feel
and the look. He keep thinking the Reserve was associated with it being an automatic, but I explained what that meant as far as Invicta's branding.
