60th Anniversary Squale

Nice looking watch at a good price point. Not a big fan of all the writing on the dial.

I've liked most of their watches - including this one - but only from afar; I've yet to own one. Their GMT Ceramic version is starting to tug at my wallet though...

Thanks for the heads up

The GMT's rule. I have 3. This anniversary release is very tasty. I like it a lot more than the Squalematic release which is just a dial with anniversary on it. This is a new release.

I like the case and the bezel a lot, but I agree that the watch is let down by the dial. Way too much writing and I'm not a big fan of that overly fat font.

Really like the case, but not the dial. I've still yet to find a Squale I like better than the 1521.

I love it. Can’t spend 1200$ on it but like it a lot.
I may get the new O&W instead

I'd have to see how that one wears. It's under 40mm, depending on the length it may wear small - https://ow-watch.ch/ow-p-101.html

I've been gun shy ever since the Oris 65 40mm. I really like this one though.

I’m on the fence for the same reason but I think the length will make it wear larger

^^^ that's cool, but the lug gap would bug me...

I am going to a watch fair end of month in London. This brand will be there so will try to get some wrist shots and more info.
I really dig these and interested in getting one myself

Same reason held me back from the recent Longines diver offering

It looks good, just to many words on the dial.

Man these are nice Cabaiguan, and honestly don't mind the writing on the dial at all.

Kind of gives it a cool funky feel, and real vintage charm to tell the truth.

Thanks a lot !

Me too.

The latest special edition would be better with a cleaner dial, but I still like it.

On the topic....I just snagged this NIB special order 1521 no date. Will try the new Tropic on it.

That’s pretty cool although I assume the picture is deceiving in that the hash marks don’t actually run through the top indice?

Optical illusion. Seller had the crystal sticker still on. ;-)
