425+shipping, still under 500 usd, still much lower than wat i had paid for mine ;)
Like we discussed, microbrands/boutique divers are created by dive watch lovers.
Reason why i like these brands are becos, they are not commonly seen here locally. The local market microbrand collectors are sibeh small, so far i met only 1-2 people nia so in a way, it is in a way, exclusive when worn outside.
Most brands have started using the new miyota 9015 as base or u can go with a ETA 2824 but of cos, u pay a higher price for it.
I believe microbrand wave will start to hit/influence local market soon. Better to get/collect nowwhile the price is ok then to get 1 from a local seller who sell at a cut throat price in future.
Irreantum is a nice watch.kermit molested it before and he commented the build is on par with a Doxa 750T.
So, why not? :geek:
Re: Microbrands lovers, lip lai chat!
Re: Microbrands lovers, lip lai chat!
Basically, just throw the brand aside, you are buying quality.It's like why you spend that amount for a RAW jeans and you can just get something from Levis... or why tailor made your shirts when you can get from G2000 ;)

no offence, i find that the indice and the indice colour doesnt go well with the watch.... look kinda out of place to me. but the case is very nice, similar to doxa.

Yup, the oversized markers are not to everyone's taste .
I tink its the greenish tinge frm the markers against the blue hue which made it looked weird but it looks ok in the black dial variant :)

I got to admit... the design is really too much conservative... from the bracelet to the dial... even the bezel also, lao kok kok...
The only thing that stands out from the whole picture, is the red seconds hand against the background of MOP though.

Re: Microbrands lovers, lip lai chat!
farking busy at work, time to destress abit.Received this Bathys yesterday after a long wait. Always interested to try a bathys so when this shows up, I just whack, irregardless a ETA quartz :lol: and oh, I had also wanted to add a rose gold watch into my collection as well.
before this arrive, I kept going to Google & kept looking at pics of this, not sure how the actual watch will look like, not many wristshot so unable to really gauge the size on wrist but since it's a 36mm, I guess it will confirm work since vintage Seiko dress watches are also mainly 36mm, except this is thicker.
Bathys Wahine
It's actually a Rose Gold Titanium case, wears light & the tinge of pink is nice.
