Pro Diver Mistery Rotor
It’s the fourth time I buy a Pro Diver from Amazon. This one also comes without the mighty yellow rotor. I don’t know where’s the problem.
One of the key features of the Pro Diver is that yellow rotor and I’m starting to wonder whether is a copy or the original one.
Another feature of these Pro Divers is the total absence of lume in the markers. The Pro Diver has never been a watch with a good lume, but it had it on the markers as well.
Should I return it and wait for a new occasion?

What´s that variant?

Mine is model 12167.
And yours should have lume on the indices. You may want to buy a UV flashlight for $10. It works better than anything and will definitely show where the lume is (or isn't).

A friend bought a Pro Diver a year ago and it shows the lume in the markers easily. Has Invicta lowered the quality?
I saw a video a while back discussing how they stopped using the yellow rotor.

I don't know, I haven't bought an Invicta since early this year. But yours appears to have lume on the indices. If not, I wonder if it's genuine Invicta, because as silly as it sounds they are faked too, just like Casios and Citizens.

Providing that, I think that I will accept it and enjoy it. I´ll probably buy a yellow rotor later
As shown in the above post, yours is supposed to have lume, including the "pip."
MWC reviewed the Pro Diver a few months ago. His did not have the yellow rotor either. Its probably to cut cost.
The rotor, or rather the yellow sticker, is inconsistent throughout Invicta production. It's perfectly normal to have an Invicta without.

Another thing I noticed between a pro diver bought a year ago and mine is the sizing of the INVICTA word on the side. Is it correct?

I don't have any data to back it up, but the size of the branding on the side of the case seems inconsistent. There are also a small number of divers that don't have it.

Thanks! I think I´m going to take the watch into the collection.
I think its just them being cheap or there is a slight difference between models on Amazon anyway it’s easy to pick the one without the yellow rotor
