 Clueless not familure with the model. Seen it yea but for a quick few seconds on TV.

Wish more watch makers would do Tungsten though. Super tough and love the color of the metal too.

Can't wait to see what all you do there. ;)

 Sweet looking watch!   I was at a jeweler today looking over some watches and he had some tungsten models.  Thats the first time I have seen one in person.  I really like the look of the metal.  I am seriously thinking of getting one.hand6.gif

 hehe the logo and text are gone!
The "I" in Invicta was hanging down so I took a piece of scotch tape stuck it to the text and logo and lifted them clean off the dial.. A bit of orange oil on a Q-tip to remove the remaining adhesive from the dial and there is just a faint ghost of the logo and text where the dial is raised.

It still needs a new dial and hands that one is just ugly... and it's still and invicta... subtlelaugh.gif

 Well for starters I would change the colour of the dial...remove the hands and the bezel.  What you've end up with is...a GMT watch.

Thumbsup3.gifI was thinking the exact same thing!! subtlelaugh.gif

I really like the Tungsten case but the dial and hands are really.... lacking...class...
A seamaster dial would fit in it but I don't want to do that to a seamaster dial...

I am thinking a glossy black chapter ring, Tungsten colored Yacht master style dial (rough glittery texture) and simple classic black glossy round markers with real 50/50 c1/c3 superlume and black plongeur hands.
