How to shorten my invicta (mens pro diver 8932)
For removing or adding links firstly you will have to remove
bracelet pins or screws. In case if there are screw on each side of
bracelet - you have to use two screwdrivers simultaneously. In case if
there are pins - read the rest:
You may or may not have arrows inside
bracelet. Arrows are pointing the way the pins must come out. First you
have to find out what sort of pins or even screws are used to keep
links together (screw ends and pin end may look similar). Examine both
bracelet sides and find the side where pin ends have a groove. Start
with a tiny screwdriver and try to unscrew one. If it turns, but doesn't
come out, that means you have a pins instead of screws. For removing
pins the best would be pin removing tool (approx.5GBP on ebay), but it's
possible to do the job without it. Take a hardened steel needle and
blunt the sharp end to the approx. size of pin end diameter using any
sharpening stone or sandpaper. Get an old towel and fold it to make a
soft base for work (like small cusion). As you don't have a special
bracelet holder you will need a pair of helping hands to hold the
bracelet steady upright. You will need small hammer and pair of flat
nose pliers as well. NOTE: The pins MUST be driven split end out first,
not vice versa. Make sure that the grooved pin ends are facing towel,
not the needle and hammer. Now place the watch on the folded towel, take
that needle and smallest hammer you have and start driving the pin out
using light blows. Do Not hit hard, as you will brake the needle,
scratch your watch or even injure yourself. Watchmakers are using 45
gram hammer, so, calculate your strength of blows. After a few punches
check if the split end is coming out and when you see that the pin end
is coming out long enough - grab it with pliers and pull the pin out
with pliers. When pulling, do NOT turn pliers, as pins tend to brake
when twisted. Use firm grip and your strength to pull the pin without
twisting. After shortening the bracelet or adding extra link(s) make
sure that the pins go back EXACTLY the same way as they came out- the
blunt end first in the hole and the split (grooved) end last. Before
doing that check remaining pins in bracelet to make sure that you put
them back from the right side of bracelet. It is recommended to use
plastic hammer to drive pins back in or you will scratch or damage
bracelet. If plastic hammer is not available use an old toothbrush
handle (or some plastic item) as an absorber. Simply put pin into the
hole as deep as you can with your fingers, put the toothbrush handle on
split pin end and hit handle, not the pin. Make sure that pin ends are
flush with bracelet. If needed- hit few more times. Job done! If you do
not want to do it yourself, any jeweler will do it in a matter of few
minutes.

Hard to fix for people without watchmaking knowledge. I'd do that in 15 minutes. Anyway - Invicta is NOT even the average quality watch company, so, can NOT charge you more than price of watch. Contact me:

What kind of battery does the Invicta Men's
The correct answer is to examine the battery that is in it and identifying the markings on the old battery. To do this you will need of course to remove the case back. Now if the watch does not have a battery in it then that is another story. Sometimes you will see the battery type marked on the inside cover of the case back. Hope that helps, Best of Luck
How to set a invicta 3443 watch up
To set the time pull the crown out to the first position and set the time by turning the crown. Pull the crown out to the second position to set the date. Since this is a diver model you will need to unscrew the crown before it will pull out. Make sure you replace the crown and screw it back down for a good protective seal.
The alarm sets the same way. Unscrew the button to set.
Invicta watch has loud self winding
Sorry for your Rolex....
In any case you will not be able to to repair watch yourself as it takes skilled man and special tools to do the job.
It is NOT common that the winding rotor is making a noticeable noise, unless you bought second hand watch.
1st cause can be that the rotor fixing screw is loosened and the rotor is touching caseback whilst in move. Then you are the lucky one as the only thing to do is to tighten it properly.
2nd cause can be that the ball bearing is too worn, bridge screwws are loose, rotor axis worn and so on and so on. In this case you may need some part replacement and much more complicated work must be done. As the outcome it will take more time to repair and you will pay more money.
