Got me NOMA III Ltd. with MOP and ........
So I got ready on Friday evening to snatch that TTV NOMA III with MOP.
It came up much earlier than expected. I was all set for the gold tone.
I was also all set only on one watch. Holidays are around the corner and wife would kill me if I
started spending more.
Well, I am watching the show, and more I look, more I like the silver tone.
Finally I pulled the trigger on the silver tone.
Now I am all happy, and I kick back to watch the rest of the show.
Towards the end of the evening, that beautiful Grand Diver Luminary (silver/black) with
automatic SW200 comes up for something like $ 280.
I don't have one, and the price is good just for one hour.
I went through hell in the first 30 minutes. I was firm that will buy ONLY one watch, but I can
not pass this GD. So I pulled the trigger on that one too.
Now I want to cancel the NOMA. I went on the Shop site/My account only to learn that
(because it's pass midnight, and now it's different date since I ordered) I can not cancel that
order. I could cancel the Grand Diver, but not NOMA. In my opinion, that Grand Diver is more
important than NOMA.
Not only that it's automatic, but it is also a limited edition, and unlike NOMA which is limited
to 3,000, this one is limited to 300.
So I got on the phone. I got that message that they are (CS) closed.
I figured, I'll call first thing in the morning. In the morning I got on the phone and talked to
some nice lady there which explained me (now it's Saturday morning, and NO WAY IN HELL
that Shop is shipping my order on Saturday, I bought too many watches from them to know
better) that there is nothing she can do to stop that order from being shipped.
So, now I have a dilemma in my hands.
There is no question in my mind that I am keeping Grand Diver (who wouldn't ?) but what do I
do with that darn NOMA now ?
Do I refuse to receive it, which will be hard to do because they usually leave that package front
of my door, because I am at work ?
Or do I open that package, look at the watch, and if I don't like it - return it - which I never did
in my entire life, because I would feel like I am cheating.
And finally - what if I do like that watch ? Than I am in real trouble, because I'll keep it.

Myself I wouldn't even consider taking any Grand diver over a SANIII.despite movements and
tubes. The SANIII is a superior watch even in its lowest version.JMO

The same thing happened to me about a cancellation the next mornig so I got a Supervisor and
told her if you ship It I will not buy anything else from the shop!

Either return it or put it in For Sale here. Saw a Geek that waited too long the other night and
didn't get one, he will buy it from you, I'm positive. I'll try to remember who it was. ***Here ya
go, It was PMLawson. http://watchgeeks.net/showthread.php?t=141980

A tough break. But, most of us that deal with Shop on any consistancy have been there and can
definitely empathize.
My recommendation is to either refuse the shippment of the SA3 or take it and look it over. You
can send it back for around $8. Consider it the cost of dealing with the company.
Orrrrrr.... You can keep both and consider it an early holiday gift to yourself.

I agree the Grand Diver Luminary is a special watch for the price. If you can't afford both return
the SANs III. IMO.

I would try to sell it when it comes in. You cant refuse the package because the GD will most
likely be packed with it too.I would take this watch over the San3 in this version of it too. You
have the best GD they make and one of the lower end Sans you can buy and the San3 in this
version will be in the $100 range soon. JMHO

Thanks Geeks !
That's what I'll do. Open the box, and if that NOMA is something I can not resist, I'll keep it,
if not I'll contact PMLawson first and if he doesn't take it -post it for sale here.

Great everything should work out for you! I think you'll really like it myself.

SANIII is by far my favorite choice in Invicta's line of time pieces.The pont of view I was
indicating,at least in my own personal opinion, is that the lowest version offered of any SAN III,
which I believe is the Gmt ( one pusher ) on the silicone strap would still be a better option than
any Grand diver.I own grand divers too,and since tubes mean little for me since I have enough
of them on my weapons, this is why if the choice was mine it would be to keep the SAN III.

Just keep both Sasha! I'm on the fence on the SAM III MOP also. I'd just went ahead and
ordered each color. If one didn't sing, will just return to the shop...No biggy. Imagine the lower
price you'd gotten for them in the first place. Skip a lunch and suck in the 8 bucks for
returned..It's all good Brutha...

Looks like it didn't get finished before it left the factory lol. But I'm highly anticipating the
arrival of my new silvertone MOP dial.I'm not too big on a lot of the orient being visible
anyways,so I think this new fresh water mop might be what some like me are looking for.
