offshore Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Was just doing some research on the "Squale" watch cases, and stumbled onto this site. http://www.freewebs.com/billyschorr/blancpainbundeswehr.htm Gee there are a few in there, to bring a lump to the throat of any diveholic collector, and I'm sure Nanug will enjoy the viewing. Interesting history, in that a watch manufacturer, would finally stop manufacturing watches, and become a case manufacturer 'to the big guys' We just learn a bit more every day. Gee I love this hobby...it takes you everywhere. Offshore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff g Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Nice find. My father left me a WWII Glashutte chrono when he passed. It was standard issue for german officers in 1930's. I have often thought of sending it to Rob for servicing. I picked it up a year or so ago, shook it a few times, and it began to run. I am quite sure it hasn't worked for 50 years, and yet it still had the juice. One of these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Speaking of Squale cases, Offshore pointed me toward a VERY nice dive watch on the 'bay... a Super Squale PloProf with all working parts. Did I mention it's cheap? Almost free? C'mon vintage diver collectors, this baby's got mojo. Super Squale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted November 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Well Nanug, someone got it for A$358. About what I thought it would make, but still great buying for something with this sort of history. hope someone here got lucky!
