Below please see the first picture (from my mobile phone...be kind please) of the newly re-issued 9937 with the old Rolex style bezel. I just received mine from Discount Invicta Watches (click on their banner located at the top of the Invicta forum page.
So far, I like it even better than the original 9937. Since no one knew exactly what these were going to look like, here's my initial impression/highlights:
-LOOOVE the new crown - it's much larger than previous Pro Diver models, and about the same size as the Rolex Triplock crown.
-The rotor is nicely decorated and much more pleasing than the initial 9937.
-The second hand has the same subtle wing logo on the short end which others have reported have been appearing on the 89xx Pro Divers as of late. If you look hard you can see it in the below pic. I like it.
-The bracelet is attached to the lugs via screws.
These are the only differences I can see so far between this newest 9937, and the original issue model I owned from 2 years ago.
Also noteworthy is the inside of the bracelet does NOT have Invicta printed on each link as we have seen on other newer Invicta bracelets. I wonder if they used "old stock" bracelets on this model?
Overall I'm quite pleased. I've synched it to the atomic clock and will try to get a sense of the accuracy over the next couple of days. I'll post some studio pics later, and expect an article/review soon!
