Love the feel of this watch much better with the bracelet over the rubber strap. Now the bad! The following photos will show the problem with this bracelet. One side they did not drill the hole correctly and the slight misalignment causes the bracelet to pivot at the watch when not wearing it. The holes are also drilled bigger than they needed to be which gives it more slop. And yes the spring pin is in the holes in this picture

Venom Bracelet the good and bad!!!
Ordered this bracelet on March 17th and received it on Aug 23rd. After the long wait, I
truely am amazed at the unique design of this bracelet. I also thought the gal made a mistake when she told me 75.00 for the bracelet. It was invoiced to me at 75.00 plus 12.00
shipping. I seem to remember hearing someone say that it was more like 120.00. Love the
feel of this watch much better with the bracelet over the rubber strap.
Now the bad! The following photos will show the problem with this bracelet. One side they
did not drill the hole correctly and the slight misalignment causes the bracelet to pivot at
the watch when not wearing it. The holes are also drilled bigger than they needed to be
which gives it more slop. And yes the spring pin is in the holes in this picture

If the bracelet looks OK while you are wearing it, I would keep the bracelet and wear the
watch. However, I would call Invicta and order another one. In 4 months when the next one
arrives, return this one as defective and ask for a refund.
BTW. I ordered a Venom bracelet (two-tone) and it cost $112 shipped. I had no problems
with it.

I don't experience the same problem. Did you have the Venom with 2 pins on each side or
just one? Just thinking that if it's two, maybe there is a difference in the location of the
holes??
I have the venom with the one pin. however the bracelet fits fine on top side just problem
with bottom side connection on watch __________________

I ordered one and it took about 7-weeks and had no problems with it and I paid $100.00
shipped. I would call Invicta customer service and hang on the phone,it may get a little
frustrating but hang in with the call and talk to someone about the issue,hopefully they will get another one out to you in a few months. Sorry, I know that sucks,again its a reserve
piece and theres a QC issue again. My last two reserve watches I ordered had some crystal
