Mike on a bike Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Look what the mailbrought today A Squale Heritage! :partytime: :partytime: First the specs : Movement: Swiss ETA 2824-2 Automatic (self-winding)Case: 316L stainless steel, 40mm x 12.1mm thick.Back: Solid screw-in backCrystal: Flat sapphire crystalBand: SEL stainless steel bracelet, deployant closure.Water Resistant: 200 metersWarranty: 2 Year Was very impressed by the packageing. All in all very happy with it ,pearl is a pin top but fits the watch,lum I will let you know. Bracelet nice solid feel ,winds smartly date set etc, bezel clicks well tight but not to tight. Now this fit me right out of the box just under 8.5 in so should be good for all! If you have a question that I missed just ask. If there is enough interest I will pick up another and raffle off we can do 25 chances at 25$ bucks for this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike on a bike Posted August 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 As many will ask figure just under $500 delivered. Not much more that a good Rep with ETA and mine is new, also I will go in the ocean without a worry. I have a few Reps in my sights also but I like the comfort of even a modestly priced gen like this when I hit the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats Mike! Not a bad deal for 500$ A few years ago there was a member here that had contacts with Squale, I can't remember who it was. They had great deals on several different models.

woof* Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Very nice. Not a brand I'm familiar with at all. Thanks for letting us have a look. Squale have a long professional diving heritage that goes back to the early 60's. Some models ran neck to neck with Rolex divers back then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panerai153 Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Very nice Mike, Those are really great watches, and Squale is a well recognized brand in Europe. They have been around for quite a while, and I believe made watches for the French Navy at one time back in the 60's,70's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
