    I have been a big Omega fan for years and have several of their Watch’s however since I accidentally came upon a UA-cam video showing the 1545 GMT Red/Black ‘Coke’ Bezel I was struck by it and had to hunt one down, which I did. Prior to this I had not heard of Squale but looking into the Brand I soon realised that this was a serious Watch manufacturer with Heritage.
    Upon the arrival of my Coke GMT I was instantly blown away! Absolutely stunning, it hasn’t left my wrist except for sleep time. The more I dug into Squale on UA-cam I soon discovered many more Beautiful versions of their Watches. Needless to say I’ve just bought a new Sub39 Blue whilst I still can as they are few and far between. That’s two new Squale’s in two months.
    My next purchase is the Sub39 black Arabic. Then a few other models i have my eye on.
    No other Brand has had me desiring so many Models of their watch’s as does Squale. Apart from their Beautiful designs and amazing quality they are also extremely great value for money with Movements found in watch’s 3 plus times onwards the cost! This combination is the reason why I feel the need to start a new Squale collection.
    Be warned they are addictive!

      So you like it!!! I really wanted one of their gmts!!
      Is it an office gmt or a traveler gmt? And how di you like it? How is bezel action?

      @@melody3741 oh yes I love it. The quality is superb, the tone of the red/black bezel is the perfect contrast and shade, not at all bland but rather striking to the eye. I’m not sure what difference there is between an office GMT or traveller GMT but I’d say this function of the watch can be used in any scenario. If you have been considering buying one you won’t be disappointed, especially in this ‘Coke’ format

    missed out on the first 120 units...where are the last 60? 👉👈

    On the website, they said to have 180 cases for 3 batches of watches. Now, 120 - 60+60 Subino + radio are gone. Left 60 and on the website, they previously announced that by the mid of January 2021 the last 60 batches of watches would be online to sell. However, the announcement now disappeared. Does Someone have further information ??

      Just keep an eye on the website, that other batch will pop up eventually. I got the No Radiobino no. 6 and it's an awesome watch, looks even better in the flesh!

      Is this the first time they have used vintage cases? I couldn't believe when I saw these I could kick myself for missing out on the radiation dial... My grail or grails is a radiation dial fifty fathoms... And this is so close for a fraction of the price... Idk if you could hear the regret in my voice lol

    Man...I just sold the two squale I had, sold them to fund a Tutima that should be here in Jan. Do you happen to know anything about Tutima? I’m getting buyers remorse before I’ve even got it. Should have kept the squales...dangers of hobbies eh.

    • @gregalonzo747
      @gregalonzo747 4 роки тому

      @Levi, if memory serves, Tutima was once used by NATO forces. I don't know which Tutima you purchased but aren't their watches mineral crystals that are sapphire coated? Which Squales did you flip? Obviously, I am biased and would have kept the Squale timepieces. Nevertheless, luck to you. 😀

      @@gregalonzo747 I ended up getting the M2, and honestly it was a silly purchase. Kind of a spite purchase, if you will. Never advisable. After buying it I had decided to try to recoup a tiny bit. I don’t remember model numbers generally but I had the sub style vintage looking one and the blue dial one with the polished rehaute. I got the squales for a deal that would have been silly to refuse, only reason for purchase. They were great looking and obviously well built. Truth be told though, they never made it out of their factory boxes and into my watch box. The Tutima only happened because of an argument over German watches with a freind. I was team Sinn and he was all about Tutima. I only bought it because I was being snotty and he regretted selling his. So in true frenemy fashion I get to wear a new one in front of him....🤷🏼‍♂️
