A Lot of Wow Factor at This Price Point
The Invicta Russian Diver Quinotaur 4578 named after the Greek Myth a bullish sea monster with five horns retails for $675. Amazon sells it for $250.
Featuring a swiss-movement rubber strap with silver stainless steel cylinders and a 52 mm bezel (58 mm if you include the crown) the Quinotaur is a large bold watch. I recommend this size watch for men with wrists at least 7.5 inches. My wrists are slightly more than 8 inches and I use the strap's third punch hole. Men I've talked to who are about 6 feet and in the 200-230 range usually make a good fit for this watch.
The watch feels very comfortable and has solid well-built feel. There's nothing cheap about the materials.
If you're looking for Wow Factor without being garish this watch fits the bill very well.
I do have a slight dislike for the little chain that dangles between the crown and the bezel and I'm tempted to have a jeweler remove it if that's possible.
In terms of bang for your buck the Quinotaur gets high marks. I like the Nixon 51-30 series which sell on eBay for $300-330 with metal strap. For about $100 less the Quinotuar delivers a lot of wow.
It feels good wearing it. I feel bigger younger more muscular. My bench press is up these days. I'm happy to help my neighbors carry a sofa up a flight of stairs. I'm back to popping off beer bottle caps with my teeth. No steroids. Just a manly watch. More detail ...
