I love her as much as I hate her

This Invicta Pro Diver reference 8926OB is my first automatic watch. It marks a turning point for me. With it, I put my finger in the gears and now I'm screwed, as Xavier, our host on this platform, might say. I've had it for over a year. The motivations for my purchase were naively to have a watch whose battery I wouldn't have to worry about changing. When I saw it, I liked it and for its price, I told myself that I wouldn't regret it. It was much later that I realized that I had a "tribute" piece on my wrist, thanks to a few discussions at the coffee machine. Claiming my naivety in the face of the invectives of a Rolex owner, not so much angry about my choice as about the fact that "I should have asked him for advice before doing this madness". So I learned a lot with this watch and found a friend! I wear it a little more occasionally since the steel bracelet gave up on me. The clasp became fragile and the links between the lugs had become loose. I tried it with other bracelets, I wore it a lot with a leather strap and other essential Nato straps. Recently, a Milanese mesh that I find very nice and that rekindles the flame. I love it as much as I hate it now that I have tried and own watches that surpass it in comfort, originality and above all less divisive ;) If I had to do it again, I would take this path again. For me, it is the G-Shock of automatic watches, I have done everything with it without a second thought, and it is still there, functional!
