Probably going to flood the markets like the 5kx.

Also revised to have 20mm lugs.
Same IG account has some IRL pics.



Some interesting 5kx variations. All gold available as well.

Pretty cool. The sunburst gray SRPE61K1 will be a pretty versatile watch to wear with rubber, leather, or different color NATOs. I kind of wish they just got rid of the chapter ring all together, rather than have people playing the alignment lottery with each one they order.

My theory about the chapter ring is that they never changed the molds on it over the 20+ years they produced the chapter rings it; I'd have to guess that the original skx chapter rings were more snug and over the period of production, the molds just wore out.

Or Seiko is just lazy and their mold makers need to be fired.

Personally love that they're carrying the skx genes but no screw-down crown is a deal killer for me. Just too many incidents regarding push/pull crowns from my own experience for a "tool" watch.

I can pull off a 44mm easily, but the proportions on these look much better!

I bet @riveredgejewelers could get them for those who want to buy one.

Anyone know if it’s true that the Invicta 1953 black bezel is not coming back??

Woah, guess I’ll be buying the blue bezel variant. Haven’t heard/read/seen anything about the black bezel not coming back. Wouldn’t make much sense to me given the popularity, but the initial release didn’t make much sense given that they released a good looking watch without branding on the side of the case!

I think the Coke variant already sold out. Looks like only blue or green left when I try to add to cart.

You may have seen elsewhere on this forum that Invicta (yep!) has released a homage to the original 1953 Rolex Submariner. You won't find any articles or reviews of this watch from the main watch publications but I think it's worth posting here for a few reasons. This is an opportunity to pick up a watch that is known to be a popular modding platform and DOES NOT have Invicta engraved on the side of the case unlike many other 40mm automatic Pro Divers. I also think that many will find this to be a very good looking watch without any modifications at all. And I think it's possible that we could see more non-engraved 40mm NH35 divers from Invicta following this release. Also, the price is right. Check out the ShopHQ link for a video that shows the watch in greater detail.

I like them. No idea about whether the one with the black bezel is coming back. Hopefully. I'm quoting my post about that one to show the specs for these again. I had a look on the Invicta site and found some other new ones. Click on the model numbers to link to Invicta's site.
