Second time around...

[SCM64]

Ever have a watch you like, but don't really wear much? Then it comes together? I had my Bathys on a stingray strap (below), and it looked great but the factory Bathys deployant clasp sucked out loud. Next I tried it on a leather Nato, that was ok, certainly more secure then the deployant. But it mostly sat in the winder. My wife would wear it once in a while.

Well yesterday I saw it sitting there and thought to put it on a Black Zulu. I had to use a 20mm, since the 22mm was pulling U1 Spec Ops duty. After putting this in the Zulu, I am falling in love with it all over again! The MOP face is luscious, it's easy as heck to read, and the lume rocks.

While it won't make a huge dent in the rotation, the Bathys has reminded me what a cool watch it is. And sleek too. Quite a change going from something like the Trimix, to the Bathys.

On the Stingray, then on Zulu.

PVD watches always look good on black NATO.

Although i dont care for Bathy's, this one i like, especially the way you have it.

[Rambam]

Definetely looks killer on the black zulu

[jimyritz]

Like it a lot...

You're right--that Bathys deployant is the absolute
worst....

Looks way better on the zulu Steven

[BramleyGreg]

I know exactly how you feel...

Sometimes a change of strap or bracelet is akin to a new watch!


Nothing wrong with a little alteration on how it's worn to make something grab your attention a little.

Yeah the nato is Gold. Always nice to improve a watch and move it up in the rotation.

[GGD]

Everything looks better on a zulu strap IMO

Looks great mate, it's amazing how much of a difference a new strap makes..... can completely make or break how you feel about a watch.

[mvyadam]

I may be in the minority here but, love the pvd Bathys better on the stingray, looks great !!

[DMB]

I just don't "get" Bathys.

I just don't "get" Bathys.

Ditto. But hey, it's Hawiian.

I like Bathys watches on stingray, but I wore it on a tang buckle.

Looks good on the zulu too though. I need to get more one of those again soon. Loved the black MOP. You're dead-on about the legibility too, Steven - Bathys does that very well.

[mattcantwin]

I had that Bathys and went through several strap changes looking for the perfect match...

including a Stingray.


If I had tried the Zulu, I might still have the watch.


Looks great!

[Pasquale]

nicest black MOP around..
I always had a soft spot for them..(got that watch when luigi was born)
the PVD of course is my Fav.
Steve when you get tired of it send it my way

I've had mine on a Zulu for a few months, but it wasn't exactly right. The zulu hardware overpowers the [almost too small] dial. Ended up putting it on carbon fiber a few days ago, which is my favorite so far in this never ending strap hunt.


P.S. I don't get Bathys either.
