A bit late to the show, but Squale is such a fantastic maker of professional divers. These cases are quite beautiful. The lugs have a chamfer that gives the lugs a bit of a twisted appearance. Quite elegant. You would have to look very hard to find better value for price. They are quite possibly my favorite watch brand.

Squale, a brand I learned about on this channel. When you listen to the history you immediately want to buy one... but so many watches so little time (and money). Although if you look at the value for money you’re getting a bargain IMO. I wonder if Squale holds its value (like Sinn). I also liked your listing of favourite watch, brand etc in one of the comments. You should do a video on favourite watches and limit yourself to 15 min ... that would be a challenge I think 😊 And no, nobody could ever blame you! Thanks again

😆 so true. But in all seriousness, I’ve always wondered and continue to wonder why everyone on KZbin seems to feel a pilots watch with 30 meter water resistance should be a concern in rain or shower or even a pool. 30 meters is 98 feet! I’ve never half that deep and don’t imagine I ever will. How could rain or swimming pool damage a watch with a 30 meter rating? Why does anyone who isn’t a professional diver want anything more? Heck 10 meters should be enough right? I don’t get it.

If that weren't enough, I think it looks quite fetching on the black mesh Squale band. This new Squale with the Arabic numbers is quite lovely but I have to stick with my 1521 Full Luminous. Thank you for a well done review.

My favourite watch of this year which was released at the end of 2019 was the Orient Star Sports Outdoor in Green. I call it the Orient Mountaineer as apposed to the Seiko Alpinist and Rolex Explorer. Orient Star is the Grand Seiko of Orient. This Mountaineer is way cheaper than an Explorer and way better than an Alpinist. I tried the Alpinist on and the dial real estate was way too small for me. This Mountaineer has a beautiful Green dial, cream patina markings, good lume, 50 hour power reserve indicator, black PVD case polished and brushed, good quality mocha brown leather strap, diamond style screwdown and signed crown, see through caseback with nice perlage and gold touches and all for around $630 USD. I was so impressed at the quality and value I bought it and couldn't be happier! 😊 The Mountaineer is a true field watch that does to the Alpinist what the Kamasu did to the SKX. Great video, please do a review of this Orient Star Mountaineer as you will not be disappointed!

Fantastic video. It’s making me consider buying one in the future. As a massive Jackie Chan fan from such a young age, the Squale Rambo is shown in the first 5 minutes of Armour of God 2: Operation Condor (1991) not the first instalment. I know this is not your error as the blogs/internet also say Armour of God (1986). I remember this distinctly, as it is shown in the very beginning of the film to navigate and is also used as a weapon by his co-star later on 😄 Anyway, I thought I’d inform you as your videos are consistently factual and spectacular. Hope you and your family are well. Happy holidays and huge respect from London 👍

Hi TGV. I loved the octopus Squale. I recently discovered your channel and I really enjoy it. I am an ocean dweller and I love a classic dive watch as much as the next guy but I have been a huge fan of a company from the 80s called Freestyle. It's perfect for days at the beach with the family, weekend kayak camping trips, and snorkeling trips. I like the all-black Lopex III, although, I am afraid you would hate it because of its size and weight. By now I know you gravitate to watches that suit your needs and style and while this watch may not be to your liking, I thought of mentioning this watch company to you because I think they make a great surf and beach watch. I would love to see a video review of these watches, the company, and my beloved Lopex III. I have changed the strap to a paracord strap with a flint and steel and now it's perfect for my long kayak trips.

Thanks for the great video...I have a couple of questions about a Squale 1521 PVD. 1) Lume on the hour hand has fallen away and needs replacing but I have an older Tritium dial. Is my only option to replace with a new part and live with the mismatch? 2) I want to swap out the date disc from white to black (which I have the part for) but Torneau refuses to touch it. Can you recommend any Squale authorized Service Centers that will do this or any that are not authorized but trusted in the New York, Brooklyn area? Thank you

23:50 You make it look better than in the Squale website, it looks beautiful but I much would have preferred a bracelet, i think it would have been awesome. It looks dressy until you see a rubber band with holes in it.

Love the case size at 39mm, the different colour hands are a bit perplexing though. Great video!!

Just ordered the blue 39 sub with date, last night from Marc at Long Island watch. Unfortunately, while being deployed, it will take some time to get it. It will be worth it, though. It's a Great looking timepiece from a fabulous company with deep (pun intended) history.

I am blessed with identical tiny 6.25 wrists, and do agree with you that a 39mm diver is the absolute sweetspot. I chose a blackbay 58. (Your next favorite watch?) It deals with your negatives: 20mm lug width, solid crown threading, and in-house powerhouse movement. Whilst still maintaining the positives

Man wouldn't this be a great piece to win.funny I was reading a lot about the sellita sw200 movement and saw soo many people that hate it and have had problems with them such as the ratchet wheel teeth shearing off while manually winding.my Swiss legend abyssos(the original with the stainless case/bracelet,blue dail with blue bezel insert)has the sw200 and I haven't had a single problem with it in the 7,8yrs I've owned it.still runs around +5sec/day,manual wind works perfect as does the automatic works.stem unscrews perfect and setting hands still feels silky smooth as does the date.ive actually enjoyed this movement soo much that I bought another cosc certified sw200-1 movement 2 weeks ago for a diver build of my own ill be starting shortly.id love to hear from anyone here that has a sw200 that they have had problems with such as the ratchet wheel issues a lot have spoken about.

Got the 1521 in polished blue. Looks great with the black rubber strap. I'm back off the wagon and buying watches again. Figured this one checks many boxes... but it was hard to find in stock anywhere.

Nice watch but I still think the captain cook beats it for looks. 39mm is small for a dive watch, most want a bit more wrist presence. I agree that the captain cook isn't a real divers watch, but most people only swim in the pool these days. It does seem great value for money though, which is always a plus. The rado captain cook is overpriced, but you can get it for less if you buy nearly new. And it's such a beautiful watch. It's light for an automatic, wears beautiful and slim, it's a winner .

Good point about the lug width. There was something off about the dimensions, and it made sense when you mentioned the 22mm.
