I have been a big Omega fan for years and have several of their Watch’s however since I accidentally came upon a KZbin 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 KZbin 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

The Profondo arrived yesterday. To Australia in one week! Thanks Mark. I absolutely love it! The blue leather strap is almost identical to the blue Colareb I bought for my Orient Blue Ray 2 which makes me think Squale might source their leather straps from Colareb… maybe. Anyway, stunning watch!

I've seen a picture of a 20 Atmos blue and 18kt gold. Normally I don't pay much attention to a gold diver or sport watch, but that one really looks nice to me. Luckily no worries as I don't have 4 G to drop on a watch. I'll stay very content with my blue 50 Atmos. The crown is a little hard for me to get to and turn, but it is far from a deal breaker. Keep up the good work with your videos and your CS is well known and appreciated. Excuse me while I take a quick nose hit off the Atmos vanilla strap.
