Indecision! 9937 or 2729?

[cunparis]

I bought a used TAG 2000 Exclusive automatic blue on ebay but I haven't received it yet. Actually it's waiting for me in the US, I'll be there next week for the month of December for Christmas. While in the US I thought I'd take advantage of low US prices and a great exchange rate and buy another watch. I've always liked the Omega Seamaster (until they overdid it with the James Bond stuff that was a turn off for me, who wants the "James Bond Watch"?) and I also like the Breitling Superocean, but I'm reluctant to spend that much on a "big" watch.

So a few weeks ago I was in a seminar and the teacher had a black Rolex submariner or a similarly styled watch, I wasn't close enough to tell. And I thought it looked very sharp. Then I remembered reading about Invictas many years ago. Some googling lead me to the 9937 and the 2729. Basically it's a Rolex Submariner and Omega Seamaster style. Both are beautiful. I love blue, it's my favorite color. But I'm worried that it will be too flashy, too noticeable. I think the black will be less "look at me".

I know this is a personal preference thing but I'm curious if anyone here bought one and wished they bought the other? Especially if you bought the blue one and later wished you had bought the black. Or if you own both (I've seen at least one member here with both), which do you wear more and why?

as far as I can tell both are the same watch, 26J, swiss, etc. Just different colors. If I could see them in person it'd be easy, but I do not know of any stores selling them in the Phoenix area so it looks like I'm going to have to order it online.

Any advice? I've had my current watch (Citizen Eco-drive) for 10 years now, I wear it every day. So I'm planning on wearing both the TAG and Invicta alternating for a long time.

Thanks

Check out Chandler Mall, there is a kiosk near Kay Jewelers that carries Invicta watches.

I did not know that the 9937 was discontinued at manufacturing. They seem to have stopping making this watch or at least changed it several times. That kind of pushes me to getting the 9937. I had to buy my favorite TAG used cause it was discontinued and I don't want to make that mistake again.

I was talking to a friend and he said he always buys black or white watches because they go with all clothes (he is Parisian so this kind of thing is important). It's a good point.

Thanks for the links, will be checking them out.

I would'nt be suprised if Invicta makes more 9937's in the future,My distributor told me that they are discontinued,but you never know with Invicta,they're always full of surprises.The new 300 series pro divers are the latest thing.
