Bathys Wahine Review

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.





Sorta liked the dial design but not sure if I'm a fan of the 12-2-4-6-8-10 indexes, moonphas below 12:00 & date above 6:00





Case is in 2 finishes- brushed for the case & polished on the bezel, with signed crown.





watch comes on a stingray strap & a double ridge rubber strap with original RG buckle









dome sapphire crystal with AR coating









& a nice caseback





overall, a pretty watch grab & go watch, one thing that still irks me is the alignment of the secondhand to the minute markers ;)



Other than that, a pretty good watch for missus :mrgreen:

Just to add on to this review:



this watch has been in my hands for a few months already and i thought id just post my thoughts

maybe 36mm small for u guys , but its a good size for me so i do wear it now and then











First thing i did was disassemble and align the hands as well as replace the battery



noted several points:

1. since the whole case is rose titanium plated / case and case back , when opening the screw case back , the plating on the contact point between the case and caseback is sure to wear off when u screw in and out ( though the wear would be hidden once u have assembled it )



2. oddly a plated case back , so possible wearing in the plating but so far so good



3. the inner build is very solid , the case is has a very thick housing to encase the movt and followed by inner seals and pressure rings , very impressed





overall very happy with it

Something really unique.
