    Here's the big difference between Squale and Rolex. Both make a fine watch but the Squale is 1/10th the price and you have to be a total douche to buy a Rolex in this day and age.

    I can’t afford another Rolex & I genuinely don’t give a flying shit if it’s a master 2 clone. If you get down to materials & labor the modern stainless Rolex lineup is a 3k watch with 10k of marketing wrapped in to compensate for the 5 point crown being plastered all over every sailing & golfing & racing & tennis event. I’d love another Rolex & maybe some time down the road it will happen, for now, I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing a fake submariner or master 2 so the squale is a good compromise. I own the watch featured in this video, (blue bezel no date) & I also own the 1521 in black with the von buren style case, that watch is a sporting icon. Definitely worth a look.

    I bought an earlier version Squale GMT-cheap clasp and mine had 21mm lugs! Btw I’m selling mine. Inexpensive 🇨🇭 watches are usually assembled in Switzerland 🇨🇭 with a Swiss movement-but all the parts(other than the movement) are made in China 🇨🇳 or Indonesia 🇮🇩!

  • @jameswig6761
    @jameswig6761 Рік тому +1

    I have the 42mm "Pepsi" version. I really like GMT watches and this is a very well made watch. Yes, it should have a bi-directional bezel like my others, but I can look past that.
    Very smooth crown action, one of my best actually. The polished case sides show every blemish and fingerprint would be about one of the only negatives, aside from the bezel action being uni-directional instead of bi. For the money, the 3 section bracelet on my watch is fine. Luckily mine also has the sword hands, not Mercedes type. I know it's a homage to Rolex, which some enthusiasts do not condone, but if you like this style, which I do, it's a fraction of the cost.

    hi Oleg, how are you, mate? I never had a Squale, but I have had a lot of Steinhart and currently I have a Ginault OR1 and another Ginualt OR2. Even though Squale is a quality homage to Rolex, it is in bit tough position. Slightly better than Steinhart (both Swiss Made) and bit more expensive than Steinhart, but it lacks a lot of refinements compared to Ginault (of course, much cheaper). So if someone is looking for the best Rolex homage there is, they will buy Ginault and if someone is looking for a decent yet very valued homage, they will choose either Tisell or San Martin. However, there are some follower and it is quite well made for the price. thanks for the review Oleg.

    I actually have a Squalematic and a 101 Atmos. From what I have seen, they are basically using case designs of old Squales from the 1960s. I personally really like the styling and find the quality very good.

    Watch companies like Squale and Steinhart make homage watches to the GMT and Submariner. If you want one of these from Rolex it is near impossible to get, which leaves the market making homage watches to get the look of them. There are more submariner homage watches out there than any other watch. Copy a famous design is all they are doing. Making a good watch is another story.
