James you really think this is a $380 watch? Can't wait to see how far this one drops once it gets out like the SS version. I think an uneducated buyer wanting their first SAS may jump on this but if they have watched the market on the SS version they will get this crazy low later. Can't believe how fast they are selling though.....maybe I just am an Invicta SAS hater....LOL.

I have to agree with Ron on this one. I am not happy with the falling price of the SAS as I have publicly stated before BUT THIS IS NOT ABOUT THAT.
If I did not already own a SAS, and if I thought the all metal SAS was just to heavy - then this would be an INCREDIBLE deal and at an affordable price.
It is still a massive watch case that is really styled well and uniquely. It is a quartz movement so the price being under $400 is realistic for this watch.
Now personally I hate the rubber strap, but I say that about every single watch of any brand. I am just not a rubber strap fan.
So bottom line, from a completely objective viewpoint and removing any of my preexisting feelings about the SAS - this is a great deal for someone who wants a SAS.
Just my humble opinion.
I never said that Mike. I said that it is a good deal for someone who could not afford an all metal $1000 SAS, or a $600 SAS. or a $500 SAS.
I HATE the price dropping, but it is what it is, so this is a under $400 SAS on rubber that some people who could not afford the more expensive ones before could buy.
Sure we know it WILL DROP AND DROP AND DROP, but that again was not the question. Right now it is a good deal...for someone. And many of those people will buy it, AND NEVER SEE THE DAILY DEAL sites in a few months with it lower. As far as they are concerned they will have gotten a good deal they can afford.
Do I like it - NO WAY. Do I understand it - yes. I still hate the SAS price dropping, but it is what it is.
I will add this - I HATE THE NEW DIALS ON THESE and FAR MORE LIKE THE DIAL I HAVE ON MY SAS. I think the dial on these is really ugly and for that reason alone I would not purchase this watch.
