These look cool :)

39mm, so the large watch lovers need to look elsewhere. :fro:

This always looks good to my eyes. I know someone here has ordered one.

There is really very little choice in the small to medium divers watch segment. This looks nice and is a good addition.

Definitely do look cool Bjorn. REALLY cool ! :headbang: :thumbsup:

Bet the size isn't that big of an issue either. Probably gets up over that
with the crown as they always say. :) Plus 40 mm is just a nice classic
size. I mean it's supposed to be "vintage" sized, so they did a good
job it seems.

Looks great too with the dueling greys, and silvers here that's for sure.
Thanks a lot for the look Bjorn !

I've got the same one and love it. I attempted to do a review last week but Photobucket was glitchy.
Here are a couple of pics:

Here is a link to the original story. Jonathan Bordell of Page and Cooper masterminded the project. I believe he's diving with the Squale people now, but he'll be making a Red Bar visit laster this Summer.
Very cool company, Page and Cooper. There's a larger Vintage Squale due out soon, too.

I believe they are sold out as it was limited to 60 (60 original bezels found in a drawer). The watch was created pretty much to accommodate the bezels: new case, acrylic crystal, gaskets, dials, etc. The Squale people worked on their own time to get these done.

Read the Page and Cooper link, or the Worn and Wound link for the full story.

There's something about Squale that ticks all my buttons.. I've loved the brand since I first read up on them. I'm gonna have another Squale as soon as I can afford one ;)

Agreed.

Every time I see a cool Squale I realize that my vintage collection is really missing an important piece. I have to grab one ... one of these days.

Great post.
