I got the email and was very tempted.
No logo. No date. No engraving on the side. Three things that turned me off these Squale models.
I’ve got to be good but this is the best one they’ve released in some time. Not sure how I feel about that all black bezel long term but it’s cool

Man, that is mean Hoppy ! :headbang:

There is something about this style with the bezel like this, and no nonsense
theme all the way through. It's just awesome, and makes you say wow as soon
as you see it ! :o :) Am thinking it will make a lot of people say wow to be
honest. The way Squale does things is so cool sir. Going to be fantastic when
it comes in I think.

A HUMUNGOUS congratulations ahead of time on it !!!

I love this model. So nice.

This one Hopper posted was great too- but I looked at my old pics and I miss it. I loved the vintage dial font.

Nice one, Hop!

You are killing it this month with the Benrus and now the Squale! Both very cool watches.

Yep that’s it!
It’s a great watch. Think it was $900 new. (?)
Looks like it’s been for sale over 3 months because he’s asking too much. I think I sold mine around 700 or so? And I saw them at that price when I listed mine.
But yeah it’s one of those I should have kept.

Got it last night. Someone on WUS said they are now sold out.

I’m trying to decide how I’ll wear it.

It came on a very nice tropic rubber with dual keepers and matching buckle. This strap actually fits me well, so it’ll likely be too long for many people.
