AI Appraisal Estimate

This is a gold-tone Invicta Pro Diver wristwatch, likely model 12845 or a similar variation within the Pro Diver collection. The watch features a substantial stainless steel case with a yellow gold-colored ion plating. It has a distinctive white or light silver dial with a slight pearlescent sheen, possibly Mother of Pearl, adorned with applied gold-toned circular and rectangular hour markers filled with luminous material. The dial displays the 'Invicta' brand name and winged logo below the 12 o'clock position. The hands are designed in a 'Mercedes' style for the hour hand and a pencil style for the minute hand, both carrying luminous inserts. A date window with a magnifying cyclops lens is positioned at the 3 o'clock mark. The text on the lower dial indicates it is a 'Professional' series model with a water resistance rating of 660ft-200m and utilizes a quartz movement. Externally, the watch features a unidirectional rotating bezel with a scalloped edge and black etched Arabic numerals for the diving scale. The integrated bracelet is a three-link oyster style with polished center links and brushed outer links. Regarding condition, the watch shows signs of moderate wear, including fine surface scratches on the gold plating of the bezel and bracelet. There is visible dirt or residue accumulation around the bezel edges and crown. The crystal appears relatively clear without major chips, though light scuffs from daily use are present. The watch likely dates from the late 2010s to present.

I have examined the visual data regarding this Invicta Pro Diver Quartz. The watch presents as a mass-produced, functional timepiece from Invicta’s entry-level professional series. Based on the scalloped bezel, date magnification, and quartz notation, it is consistent with mid-to-late 2010s production. The condition is noted as 'fair' to 'good' due to moderate surface abrasions on the high-polish center links and bezel edge, along with organic build-up near the crown. Unlike mechanical 'Automatic' models which hold slightly higher secondary value, quartz variants are highly liquid but have a lower price ceiling. The market for Invicta is characterized by extremely high volume and frequent discounting; the 'MSRP' is often ignored by the secondary market. Comparables for pre-owned gold-tone quartz Pro Divers typically trade in the $40 to $70 range. The specific use of a light dial/Mother of Pearl adds modest aesthetic appeal but does not significantly increase rarity. The main value drivers here are the functional 200m water resistance and the 'Submariner' style aesthetic. Critically, a visual examination cannot confirm the presence of a genuine Swiss or Japanese movement versus a generic clone, nor can it verify the integrity of the water seals. Full authentication would require opening the case back to inspect the movement caliber and caliber markings. To establish a 'Near Mint' valuation, the original box, extra links, and papers would be necessary. Without a pressure test, the 200m rating cannot be guaranteed for diving use.
