Just got a Pro Diver, but...
I've just got my first Invicta Pro Diver. I bought it at the Amazon Prime Day for €69. I arrived home after a month abroad and when I opened it a couple of things didn't seem right.
The rotor is not the famous yellow one signed by Invicta. It's a NH35, but not with signed rotor.
The second one is that the lume in the markers it's quite poor and vanishes quickly. I saw in YT that both markers and hands have the same "lume power", which isn't the case here.
Should I return it and wait for another occasion?

Sale or not, y oh didn’t get what you paid for. I would have them replace it.
Well, Invicta has used rotors with the yellow sticker and without, so that wouldn't trouble me much. What we have there is definitely an NH3x movement. I honestly can't speak to the lume.
Since Invicta's customer service is supposedly close to non-existent and outsourced, I would be curious as to what would happen if you reached out.
If I was guessing, sounds like Amazon is allowing fakes to be sold now. Just a guess. Yes, I would return it.

I think I'm going to replace it. It doesn't looks well to me the fact that the rotor is not signed and the marker lume so bad
Invicta lume has always been sub-par. The replacement might be worse. I wouldn't worry about the rotor. They just slap on whatever's in the parts bin on any given day.
In my experience with Pro Divers, the lume is not very good, and the hands are quite a lot brighter than the markers. But I've never gotten one without the yellow rotor.
Invicta is famous for different movements int he same model. It is my understanding that most come with the NH35, which is what you seem to have.

You're right, but compared to YT videos and to a friend's one the lume in the markers is very poor.
Nice advice! That's what I've just done 👍
@MWC2020 video from today shows the same rotor.
Invicta has fallen further down the mountain apparently.

You're right, just saw it. Where will I get a real Pro Diver now
Some have the rotor decoration, but others don’t
I have the one with the yellow rotor, and the lume is quite poor. So I guess it is what it is.
