| My favorite $50 Pro Diver. $10,000 watch or $50 watch, I like them all! Costco coupon or Tijuana corner. . .it is all the same.   |

| I don't know if this post is meant as sarcasm but I really do wear my Miyota powered 40mm ProDiver quite often. If I'm wrenching on my cars in the garage or planting shrubs in the back yard this is my "daily diver".   I've bought them as gifts for family and friends as well. Although the design is a clear homage it was executed well and includes a bulletproof workhorse of a movement. |

| I like them enough that I have three different versions. And I'm not ashamed to admit it.  |

| Fooled me, I could'nt spot a fake unless it said Rolodex on the dial. My nephew bought a $10 Rolex in NYC and the bracelet felt like it came from a soup can. |

I'm with ya on that one! That's why I wouldn't buy from someone unless I knew them well or went to an AD.

Hey Mark, other than the bezel markings, how are the two on the bottom different? |

Coin Edge vs Scalloped would be my guess, and the top is the quartz version right?

| Heartbreak is correct. The top watch is the 43mm Swiss made #4469. Both on the bottom are 40mm 8926's with different bezels. |

| Does anyone happen to know the model numbers for the new 43mm Sub? My google skills must suck, plus the Rolex Site is a pain to navigate. Thanks. |

I didn't realize it would be a Sea Dweller. I thought the original 40mm Submariner was being upgraded to 43mm? Thanks for the info though. |

| There is nothing wrong with the Invicta Pro Diver as it's a great watch! I personally like the bottom right version with the Japanese auto and the coing edge bezel. It has the "classic" diver look to it! Wear them all in good health! |
