Just got mine. The dial and bezel look more purple than blue. I really wanted a nice blue, like the Omega Bond Seamaster (sold mine a month ago). Think I got a mutant ? Thinking of sending it back, but they might all be like this.
BTW, tried to take pictures with my phone but they don't look good. Will try with a real camera later.

You are correct, the Blue has Purple in it, and they are all like that.

The same as seen on an Invicta is the 3045 Grand Diver.
Sun Ray Dial.

Try wearing it a few days, see if it grows on you.

Unless yours is way off from the photos.

Are the Bezel & Dial, the same shade, or do you see a big difference?

You had to throw that picture of the Bond in there, didn't you :cursing:

Yes, dial and bezel match. I'll probably end up keeping it, since I can't find anything else (blue dial/bezel) that I like for the price or close to it.

I have an older one and the blue matches Timex's pics, which I like. I only have a crummy cell phone photo of it right now. I will try to get one with my new digital. I do really like mine a lot (I would like the Bond better :thumbup1. Mine has been a great daily wear beater even though the rotor clanks like the head gasket on mister Magoo's model T.

I'm sending it back. Not only is the color too purple, but the description said it has a 42mm case, when in reality it's 40mm. Had it been a true blue color and/or 42mm, I would probably have kept it. Live and learn.

Just an FYI.

Invicta Grand Divers are.....
47mm Diameter of the Bezel.
52mm From far side of Bezel, to the Top of the Crown.

That is what I like about the GD's. Not too small. Not really big. They are the Goldilocks of the Invicta world:biggrin:

47mm Blue: 13859
38mm Blue: 13862

Nice, it's actually blue. Too bad my perfect size is right in between 38 & 47 :glare:

I have one - about -2-3 weeks..

I know what you're saying about the color. It is definitely more of a deep purple than blue.

My blue "Python" by Invicta is the same.

I also hear you on the size.

So I picked up a black 0420 that had the size I wanted and looks more like the scale of a typical dive watch.

All of that said, I am warming up more and more to the 9094.

The weight and quality of the watch are really superb. Any smaller I wouldn't be too thrilled, but it still has a legitimate size against my wrist.

The bezel is much better than the larger unit - the larger 0420 has a coin edge and the mechanism feels 'cheap' and the ratcheting noise is horrible. Like the 0420, the 9094 bezel smooths out but both have to be broken in. Once this happens though, the 9094 bezel feels and sounds much nicer than the larger watch.
The Python Bezel blows both away though.

So I am finding I am wearing the smaller 9094 more than the 0420 or Python - for its size, it's just a very nice, well made little tank!

Was almost tempted to return the 0420, but that also has some advantages. Ignoring the bezel, the make of the watch is beautiful - plus it's Titanium, so will be lighter and cooler for the hot months coming up this summer. Also, I still like the larger size effect. So I ended up making enough room in my collection for both models!
