 :D Invicta Prowler. Well one I have been following since I saw one live over a year ago. Finally a price I could live with, albiet still a little more than I really wanted to spend.

First impressions are positive for size, weight, Movement is ETA 2824 and like I have mentioned, the unique way it tells time makes for a one off timepiece and a conversation piece.

Only disappointments are, I expected a little beefier bracelet although this is one with a scissor deployant, and no saphire crystal. Crystal is more of a mental thing since I am pretty easy on my watches.

I'll let a few pics do the rest of the taling......................BTW Ken yes it is an Invicta, but I only own 2 right now, an none are LUPAHS:P



Unique time display as the dial rotates with the hour hand which exposes a different internal part of the movement. The date wheel rotates under the bezel.



Dewitt case homage..................



Opligatory wrist shot.........................



Thanks for looking:)

 That's really cool!  Thanks for sharing.

One question . . . how does the Invicta logo and the "Swiss Made" insignia stay in position?  Are they scribed on the backside of the crystal?
