Invicta Gigantus: Prime Example Of Big Watches Getting Too Massive
The trend today is for watches to grow ever bigger. In an age of miniaturization, this may not make sense, but remember it is style, not technology that we are talking about. Because watches are meant to be seen, more and more new watches are showing up in larger dimensions. Standard sized watches of the past (say 38mm) for a men's watch is now considered almost petite. And finding a 36mm or smaller men's watch is almost unseen. Invicta now takes watches in the more than 50mm dimensions. Definitely noticeable.Pictures and images of these watches are really not enough to get a good grasp of just how big these watches are. Imagine wearing a size whose diameter is almost the same as the top of a can. Make that circle with your hands and imagine it on your wrist. That needs to be a damn impressive watch to take up so much wrist real estate.Invicta has been making watches for a while now, and is based out of Florida. With aggressive marketing and often bold designs, they find a good market

I don't think we've had a thread on the Illinois Mate, have we?
I got this two-tone example within the last month or so, had it serviced, etc. It's a nice 3/0 large size. The hands on this particular one are not in great shape. I had them relumed from the gloppy white lume that was on it to something more vintage looking. The maroon calf strap is a NOS Gemex. These were photos from the seller (slightly different hues; the case back is actually white gf; is that a problem that the SN on the case back doesn't match the middle case?)movement prior to much needed service:

Thinking of getting this for (what I think) is a low price.Seller says it's possibly a military watch, radium on the hands but it doesn't glow anymore. He also says it run and keeps good time.Is it worth getting, and maybe cleaning up?

Vintage Omega identification help
After losing my grandfather, one of the items left to me was the omega watch pictured below. Ive been able to place the purchase of the watch to late 1951 or January 1952. He was given this watch for his 21st birthday in January of 1952. He was 83 when he passed. Id like to have the watch restored and wear it on special occasions. Can anyone help me identity this watch, and give me a model name? It is complete minus the band, but does not run. It moves from what I can tell, and rotor spins freely. Thanks in advance for looking.
