sure it's a typo- you're right it comes in 43 of the visually different 38....

Wish they'd make the bracelet version....

Also says stainless steel in the description, which is incorrect for the black dial, pics show titanium, which is correct. In the video the crown looks very wobbly in the video.

asiparks1 I also note the off centre crown which could be just this example, here is the gold version where the crown looks so much better however the gen has push in crown I have not heard of problems with this, but I do prefer screw down crowns on water proof sport watches so I probably would not use this for swimming.
Incidentally I really fancy the gold version.

Are you sure the gen has a push in crown ? Pretty certain it's a screw down....

Yep right I done it again Screw drawn crown it is, I think this would make a good holiday watch, should be waterproof then and ideal for the pool. When we can get there.

Is this really an improvement?
If I take a look at the photos it looks worse than the V1, e.g. the crown.
What do you think?

Ok,so after reading 21 pages of Bathscaphe posts it’s the case back that’s Push on not the crown, my mistake asiparks1.
This seems to be the case with the gen so it rated good enough for diving in gen form and I see a rep thats pressure tested also.
I think I’d chance the swimming pool, when I get there.
