I deleted the duplicate thread.

There are a lot of watches that have similar looks to Breitling - certain Rotary pieces look almost identical to Navitimers, but Invicta doesn't spring to mind as havign a lot of Breitling like watches. Which model are you thinking of?

Invicta copies anything that is popular.

Even down to having a 30" chronograph scale on a non-chrono watch

Invicta copy the styles of most of the popular brands.

Some, like their Sub clone with a 21 jewel Miyota automatic movement, are excellent watches for the money.

Picked this up from Overstock for $85 a couple of year's ago.

Hadn't seen the Bentleyesque one before - though it actually looks like the cheap Bentley fake with the SA crown!

As has been said Invicta don't so much design watches as produce watches based on other firm's designs.
