Why would Invicta Make this?

I have seen these I-Force chono Master before on Amazon and now on Ewatches and wonder why they would make this model without the crown at 9 o'clock to move the internal bezel. I have the original Swiss Made model that has the cown. At first I thought they just messed with the picture but later heard of guy's getting this watch and has no 9 crown. This is confusing to make a watch with the whole design is based on a internal rotaing bezel (which is why I got this watch to begin with and love it) and not have it work the way it should.

Model F0046

Oh and here's mine for comparison

Just another way to save money. I have 2 of the older ones but I really never use the moving bezel. It does seem weird though reserveman View Public Profile Send a private message to reserveman Send email to reserveman Find all posts by reserveman Add reserveman to Your Contacts #3 Today, 10:21 AM

It does seem weird though Never really use the bezel alot my self but that's the main part of the design. Kinda reminds me of the SANIII 4.4 with a rotating bezel and no second hand to use it with. Having a feature on a watch you cant use.

I do like the look too. But if I was to change anything I would make the 3 o'clock crown smaller to match the other one. __________________

good question. I have the Force Flight (5749) that has the second crown with internal rotating bezel, but rarely use it. Of course, I would need to figure out how to use it properly to get any benefit out of it.

I love the look of the watch. I had the Silvertone/Blue one and traded it because it was just too big with the crowns on both sizes of the case. __________________

I have the original in rose gold and I like the watch. I assume that the bezel is now fixed in this new version missing the left side crown.....does anyone actually have this new version to prove that the bezel is indeed fixed, or is it now possibly that "one crown does it all"???? __________________

I think the internal rotating bezels are the coolest! I don't own one but have admired them for years. If I did own one I would probably never use the bezel... But just knowing that it was there.. Cool!

For right-handers, it's best woorn on the right wrist, so you can use the left hand to change the bezel.

Pictures of the "F" models show the lack of the left-hand bezel crown.

If you know how to use it, it's handy. __________________

Great watch. I like the internal bezel feature. I wonder if this watch does have the crown at 9 o'clock, but it's just cut off in the picture?

Anyway, I like the non-chrono version for the triple-buckle strap. (Pic of mine in my sig) Eric. __________________

IF this version really does NOT have the crown at the 9 position... I'd prefer it too...

One of the reasons I can't wear the full sized IForce Master, is because of that extra crown...

So, if anyone can verify this info, I'd appreciate knowing too!!

I think some may be assuming that if there is no crown at the 9 then there is a rotating bezel with no way to operate it.

A good number of people complained about the crown at 9 when this first came out so the Amazon version seems to be a model with a fixed chapter ring rather then a rotating crown.

I don't see any problem with that version and several advantages for people who did not like the crown at nine or the internal rotating bezel.

This would not be a matter of cheapening the product, but rather giving ANOTHER VARIATION for people that did not like the two features mentioned above in the first version.

Take Care, mtbkndad

The version I have from Amazon does NOT have the crown at the 9 position, which was fine with me, as I wouldn't be using the internal bezel--it's on a leather strap anyway so it wouldn't ever (intentionally) be in the water. Also, lacking that crown makes the huge watch a bit smaller, which might be a good thing for some. Overall, it's a nice watch drjfc62 View Public Profile Send a private message to drjfc62 Find all posts by drjfc62 Add drjfc62 to Your Contacts #17 Today, 05:13 PM

Overall, it's a nice watch Glad to here from someone who has this version. Are you able to post pics. And so there is nothing to move the bezel? The version I got with the 9 crown also came from Amazon for $144 and it was model 4830. __________________

I'd also like to know the answer to Keith's question... can you rotate the inner bezel on your model?

I'd reconsider buying one of these now that there is a version with no crown on the left.

But...

I wish Eyal would just bring back the women's and Mid versions of the IForce Master!! Those were perfect!!

Just to add a side note to the discussion, I think the inner rotating bezel was a cool feature which also was one of the reasons I got the Seamount.
