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.

Try to visit La Chaux-de-Fonds. It is the Swiss watchmaking capitol of the world,or the
Canton of Geneva , it is where a lot of movement manufactures are located.Have a safe and
wonderful trip...P.S. bring us all back a watch LOL

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.

So you were serious ... you do realize that in Switzerland he will probably have a far better
chance, seriously a far better chance of finding the Invicta factory than finding any Invicta
watches for sale in any store.

While you're there, stop in and check on all the WG pieces that have gone to Switzerland for
repair.

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.
I have pictures from my digital camera but did not bring the USB cable to transfer to the
laptop. And my old memory stick from my dig does not fit my new laptop, so pics will have
to wait unless I find a solution.
And just turning on my cell phone here will cost me about as much as the plane far .
But for those that want chocolate, come get it, it it last my long trip home.
Seriously, if anyone knows how I can find the Invicta plant I'll do my best to make it by
there.
By for now.
