bummer, good luck with the repairs. I took my SAN III to a local watch guy for $15 he fixed
it within a week and no probs since. I think Invicta made an exception to the warranty if you
have the SAN III fixed locally saying it would not void the warranty.

It's common for that particular model. Lot's of people including myself returned ours to Shop
for that very reason.
Sorry you had to experience it at the most in- opportune time. Maybe you can have it fixed
at your local jeweler, if they are willing to work on Invicta's.
If not, say bye- bye to your watches for 6-8 weeks. (If you are lucky.)

Not intended to make light of your misfortune but......look on the bright side, Invicta should
have it back to you in time for NEXT years St Patricks Day.

My Green SAN111 had to have one of the bracelet holes drilled out. I only noticed this when
I went to change out the bracelet for the strap. Took it to my local jeweler, and for 10 bucks,
he fixed it. Good luck.

I agree that is not a good thing to find. I hope Invicta makes it right without any further
bother to you.

Sorry to hear... Green SANIII OQ would have been perfect for the occasion.
Unfortunately that production run of the 8172.220 had some issues with the day hand. The
Bolt had the same movt. & issue.
Not fun to have to deal with under any circumstance, but it can be a quick & easy (local) fix.
Hope the day hands get taken care of soon. Wish you luck.

I feel your pain! This happened to me (I bought mine from WOW). I used to own every color
of the SAN 3 Ocean Quest kits, because WOW had them for the $250 mark....but I got rid of
all of them after a few issues with the hands..
I would recommend local repair, which I did once.....only cost $15.
Sending to Invicta may cost your shipping plus $28 repair charge (which may be waived if
you complain enough).

The same thing happened to my green SAN III. I sent it in to get it fixed. Just one of those
things.

Question? Is this watch a recent purchase or is it from last year when they had issues with
the day hand and issues of mold in the kits ? I had that problem last year and sent it
back.....I hope it doesn't happen to the kit that I bought on Weds. of this week.

Do it locally. As one of the other mentioned both the SAN III and the Bolt had issues. My III
was a first edition with the blue dial. The Bolt was also the limited edition. Repaired now and
working fine.

That happened on my Blue, Green, and Yellow Kits!
Definitely go to a local jeweler to have it fixed. It cost's less than the freight to
send it to Invicta, and you save the heartache.

I actually found my Orange Kit with the same problem about two weeks ago and my
Corduba Ibiza and another one that I don't the name of cause its not a very popular model. I
wish it wasn't such a big deal to get it sent off to get fixed.

Sorry to hear it! You may want to look into a local repair. Probably cost the same and you
get them back in a few days.

That is awful. Such a lovely watch. I almost bought one but due to the mold issue, I didn't
get the yellow version. I bought a Venom OQ kit instead. Thank goodness. That is an internal
issue I wouldn't take to my local guy. I had my crown fixed, crystal replaced and bracelet
fixed. But anything dealing with opening up my caseback other than a battery replacement
would go back to Invicta. You can't wear it as is, so 3 or 4 months it would be.

I have the same problem. Day hand fell off the anniversary edition bolt. Also, now unable to
adjust date on one of my excursions. As a result, Android is currently getting my business.

same thing happened to me!
The same thing happened to my Akula --
Took it to my favorite watch guy -- and he'll get it fixed for about twenty bucks --
Before you send it off -- you might check locally -- if you have someone you like and trust --
You can probably get it done for a lot less -- and have your watches back on your wrist in a
lot less time -- like three or four days!
Peace,
Ron

My orange SAN III is back at Invicta for the second time for the same day hand problem.
Great looking watch when it is working.

And herein lies why some no longer purchase Invicta.maybe they need to reduce the amount
of new product being banged out and spend a tad longer in production with better QC and
testing. What say you?

Sorry to hear about that, and all the other posts mentioned here! Auto manufacturers issue
recalls all the time. Sounds like there should have been 1 on these 2 if there was such a
thing in the watch industry! Just say'in! Get them fixed locally and enjoy them in a couple of
days!

Same here as well. My green OQ had the issue with the subdial hand. Took it to my local
watch shop and I had it back in 3 days. Cost me $15. Much less of a headache than having
to send it to Invicta.

Consider that after the first year, your 5 year Invicta extended warranty only covers the
movement. Save youself some time, worry, and potentially some money (2 watches under
1st year warranty = $28 twice to Invicta, plus your initial shipping to FL.) and have 'em
repaired locally.

Is there a reason that Invicta struggles mightily with their watch hands? A common theme of
Invicta seems to be their inability to attach the hands of their watches properly. There is no
excuse for this.

This just happened to mine after having it nearly 2 years. Had the geen OQ. I took it to a
authorized Rolex jeweler and the watch maker had it fixed in 10 minutes and it only cost me
25 bucks. Find a quality jeweler store with a watch maker and this is not big deal!!!
