Couple of weeks ago I bought an 8926 with the beveled bezel from Sams Club and it was marked only by a removable sticker on the case back.

Just got an 8926 with coin bezel from "TV" and it has the model # etched into the case back.

Why the difference in marking?

Are some permanently marked and others not, even within the same model # family.

This is one of the many Invicta mysteries.
I have no explanation for it.

You sure that wasn't the 8928 you bought? If it has the beveled bezel, also known around here as the Omega bezel, that should be the 8928. BTW, my Grand Diver doesn't have a model no. stamped on it, either.:blink:

The Omega bezel UPC sticker on the box states 8926 and the sticker on the case back states 8926A to be exact.

Are we talking about this watch?

Same style but all stainless with black dial and bezel.

Here is a pic of the 8926A but with a strap instead of the original bracelet.

A little history

The 8924 has gone through a few changes in the last five years.

The original coin bezel 8924 did not the Invicta logo on the second hand. This is the most collectable and has been out of production since about 2003 I believe.

The second 8924 or the 8924A is the scallop bezel version with the Invicta logo on the second hand.

The third verson is the 8924OB (original bezel) which is a return to the coin bezel, but this time the second hand has the Invicta logo.

Of course all Invicta Pro Divers are going to 43mm, so it may change again. A little confussing. I hope this helps.

The 8926 is the SS with black dial and bezel insert and the coin edge or scalloped bezel... like in nhsmitty's pic.

The 8928 is the TT with Invicta blue dial and bezel insert with coin edge or scalloped bezel... like in Agent Orange's pic.

Not sure what an 8924 in the post above this refers to.
