InvictaMen's Pro Diver Watch

I absolutely LOVE this Invicta Grand Diver Watch Model Number 3047.I am new to the Invicta Enthusiast Movement. This past Christmas I received my first Invicta Big Faced Watch from my son. It was a Stainless Steel Watch with Blue and Black face and bezel (Model Number 20478). I LOVED having a Big Faced Watch at that point and within the past 2 months, I have purchased 3 more Invicta Big Faced Watches and love each one. I now have a total of 4 Invicta watches and I will most likely be buying more. They are just such beautiful machines that I love wearing.This Stainless Steel Automatic Grand Diver Model 3047 with its Green Bezel and Black face is so stunning. The contrasting colors make reading the time on this watch a breeze. It is not cluttered with intrusive designs or dials and it is not too big at 47mm. With that being said, it is much larger than any Timex or Casio or Seiko that I have ever owned yet I have 2 more Invicta's that are actually larger at 50mm. This Model 3047 has a 47mm case. So it is a little bit smaller than my others.The magnifier on on the dial window is an addition that is much appreciated as you get older.The dial window is made of a durable Mineral Crystal.The hands and time indicator marks have a luminescence that actually does glow in the dark. Unlike many other watches that I've owned.The band bracelet was very easily sized with very inexpensive tools that you can obtain over the internet sites. I re-sized my watch band myself and I am not a jeweler or watch repair person. It came out perfect with no struggle at all.The Green color is not loud, vivid or trendy. It is quite classy and adds just a splash of color to subdue any boringness that become the norm with the run-of-the-mill ordinary silver add black watch that everyone has.The Stainless Steel watch case is has a partial satin finish and a partial polished mirror finish. The case has the really cool Divers Helmet molded into the stainless steel case at both the top and bottom. This signifies that it really is a genuine divers watch and is capable of withstanding dive depths of approximately 1000 feet. Although most of us will never dive to those depths and the rest of us will never dive at all, the dive depth rating signifies the durability of this watch. And we “all” want a product that is as durable and tough as possible.This watches bracelet is another work of art. The center links have a mirror polished finish and the outer links have a satin finish. Very Classy and contrasty. I Love It !The Green Bezel actually does rotate in one direction only. This is to monitor air supply for the real divers that use this watch for its actual intended purpose. There are videos and instructions all over the internet that explain how to use a watch bezel. Very easy.My VERY Favorite feature of this watch is that it incorporates the VERY RELIABLE and very accurate Japanese made Automatic Seiko Movement – The Seiko Movement Model Number is: NH35A – Yes this watch has the beautiful styling of Invicta and it also has the reliable Seiko Movement.....In case you didn't know, an Automatic Movement never needs a battery replacement because it does not operate on battery power. The motion and movement of your wrist is what winds this accurate watch up. You can also wind the watch by hand by turning the crown. So I guess you can consider it a hybrid ? I'm not sure, but that makes sense to me.Speaking of the incredible Seiko Automatic Movement, the watch manufacturer did not want to hide this special feature from you or your admirers, so engineered into the back of the watch is an Exhibition Back which actually has a window on the back of the case to view the decorated yellow pendulum swinging back and forth to wind your watch. Again, no boringness here. Lots to look at and admire about your new watch.Another very nice feature of this beautiful watch is that it has a screw down crown. This is one of the reasons it is rated to dive so deep. Because screwing down the crown stem actually seals things up more effectively than pressing it in.With this watch, you can actually stop the second hand so that you can adjust the time to the exact second.This Grand Divers watch with its black face and green bezel is not heavy at all. In fact, it wears so much more comfortably than any of my lightweight and small Timex watches. Yes it is much larger and much heavier than your normal sized watch, but the way the case and high quality bracelet was engineered makes for a very comfortable fit and the weight and size is actually un-noticable.I am NOT a large man. My wrist diameter is 7 inches to 7 and a half inches. So I have attached pictures of this watch and what it looks like on my 7 to 7.5 inch wrist. In my opinion, it fits and looks perfectly. The style these days is the Big Faced Watch. So this size is very attractive.Wear this Beautiful Watch with a pair of jeans or wear it with a Black Suit to a business Meeting or a Wedding. This is a stunning piece of jewelry.Hopefully I have addressed all of your concerns or questions that you may have had. In case I may have missed something, I have added a few pictures to my review so that you can see exactly what the product I have received is like without viewing some modified, or professionally photo-shopped images that make the product appear like more than what you will receive. These attached pictures are raw out of my point-and-shoot camera with no editing at all. So enjoy ! Can you please do me a favor ?If you have simply enjoyed reading my review or If my attached pictures and description has helped you in any way, could you PLEASE mark my review as "Helpful" please. I would REALLY Appreciate that and it helps encourage me to keep writing reviews of my purchases… Thanks :-)...

This one of the lowest priced Invictas and arguably the best value for a watch on all of Amazon.The photos in the Amazon description are not very accurate. The watch is far better looking in person. The bezel color is a deep lustrous cobalt blue. The watch face while not as pearlescent as a real Rolex is also a deep indigo or cobalt blue depending on which way the light reflects off it.The closest photo to real was taken by a reviewer named Santi and can be found at the top of the reviews under "Reviews with images". One of the earlier photos show that the bezel color used to have green in it. No longer. The current shade is that perfect cobalt blue, contrasted by gold (painted) numbers.I have a medium large wrist. Just slightly above average. I took two links out and came in one pin on the bracelet adjustment. Do NOT buy a plastic resizer. I bought one and threw it out so you don't have to. I did also buy this resizer tool which worked perfectly, first time. No bent pins. https://www.amazon.com/Selizo-Watch-Remover-Removal-Sizing/dp/B07H5F43N3/ref=pd_sbs_7/132-91I add a drop of BLUE or Purple Loctite to the end of ANY pin I remove and then put back in place.The movement is NOT Seiko or Japanese. Those movements alone cost over $100. The movement in the watch is a CLONE of a Japanese movement with 100% made in China parts assembled in Malaysia in open rooms full of outside dust. How much dirt you have in your movement depends on the weather that day. How well it keeps time is a crap shoot.My first Invicta, a SS 40mm Submariner clone had a filthy movement and could only be adjusted to be a minute slow each DAY. The cost to clean and correct that is more than the cost of the watch. I didn't like the watch anyways. Too small.I got lucky with this Grand Diver. It seems about only 15 or 20 seconds slow per day. Much better. You don't have the movements cleaned after several years. You use the watch until it fails, and then purchase a brand new one.Tips to keep your watch looking nice. A Rolex can withstand massive abuse and neglect and be polished out like new (for a price $$$). Once the gold plating it worn off or scratched on these INVICTAS, time to purchase a new one.BUT, if you don't wear it in your sleep or shower with it, or wear it while working on your car, it can last. WASH your watch. Human sweat and oils can be quite caustic to Invictas. ESPECIALLY plated versions like this. I WASH my watch in running hot(ish) water every couple of days. Every surface.Use diluted dish detergent. No need for a brush if washed regularly. I just use my fingers. rinse well and BLOT dry with a good paper towel like VIVA. Do NOT rub dry and polish with microfiber. That action will only scratch and wear the finish faster. Blot with a high quality paper towel. The hot water helps dry the entire watch also. SPIN the bezel when washing occasionally or it will collect dirt and debris and freeze up. Trust me. I have been doing this to inexpensive, plated watches successfully for many years.
