TigerShark Swam in today !!!
a review and photographs by Tim P - reprinted with permission
I really like this watch a lot!!! ... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
I've been pretty excited about getting this one!! I've
always liked the Invicta 9937/9938 series, but felt they had a few weak points.
When I found the "TigerShark", it seemed to address a lot of them.
Very nice
presentation, plain outer white box, black inner box with a replica of the
Tigershark caseback on top.
.....
First thing I noticed out of the box was how SOLID it
feels. There is no rattle to the bracelet, everything fits like a glove, tight
and solid.
The bracelet is solidly built with screw attached links. The
clasp is milled, and the divers extension is milled as well, unlike a lot of the
cheaply stamped extensions you find.
...
The watch itself looks terrific, in that Rolex-esque
design hommage carried out by so many. Bezel is 120 click, solid as well, and I
like the detail of the hour marker at 12, just a little different, making it
unique in its own way. Of particular note, the hour markers use SuperLuminova,
not tritium, so the glow is exceptional. Sorry, I stink at lume shots, so none
to show you.
... 
Case is a nice 39.5mm x 50mm lug to lug classic size,
crown screws down tightly and smoothly with 2 gaskets providing 300m WR. The
movement is an ETA 2824-2, just received, so I cannot comment on out of the box
accuracy, but assume it will be typical. Update to follow....
I chose
the TT model...
I really like this watch a lot!! It addresses most of the
issues I've had with the 99XX series from Invicta, while still keeping the price
at a VERY reasonable level. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
