What are peoples thoughts on these as I know from his youtube channel TGV loves them, thinking it would be a nice addition but anyone else have any hands on experience?
Which model in particular ?
Sorry, that would be useful. I was liking the 1521 in that blue!
Have you managed to find one? I was looking without much luck.
They look decent, if you're after something functional and with some heritage. I personally went for something else as I wanted it to be a little more dressy, and the bead blasted finish and florescent hand wasn't fit for it. They do seem well built, comfortable, and incredible value for money.
Nah, out of stock everywhere I have seen.Originally Posted by dice
May I ask what you went for?
I had a 1521 before they started engraving the case sides and messing with the bezel pip
Vintage charm with modern build quality
I've got a 1553 now because I like the vintage dial and case shape
Squale seems to have lost its way recently with various Sub-alikes and GMT homages. Shame because it's got such a great history and back catalogue of original designs that it doesn't need to follow the homage trail.
Old Squale - great
New Squale- so,so
If you search plenty of threads which will give you an idea
Cheap flight to Amsterdam?

No 1521 though, unsurprisingly.
I'm a happy owner, and purchased from Watch Gecko in the UK. No affiliation, just a satisfied customer.
Case is highly polished so has the potential to be a bit of a scratch magnet but I've been lucky so far. Build quality is good and servicing costs are reasonable due to the ETA engine. I agree that some of the recent models are very 'Sub-U-Like' but there are still plenty of interesting and distinctive choices in the range.

LOVE this.
I ended up going for the Sinn 104 St, which should be arriving some time this week. Little more dressy, little more flexible IMO.
The blasted blue model is available here: http://www.squale.de/en/squale-1521-...n-blasted.html
Cool watch.

Since two months I have the blasted Ocean version and I'm very happy with it. I really like the azure blue.

1521 back in stock at Page and Cooper according to their Twitter feed.
Got a real funky 70's look about them. I guess they are probably using their own rich back catalogue but I think they have that Omega Big Blue look to em.
Very nice
Outstanding! What is the model please?
I find the 1521 case very comfortable on a small wrist, especially with the clever design of the rubber strap at the lugs. The crown is great when screwed down; it is however awful to use!
Anyone? I like how this one looks... Anyone know which model it is?
50 ATMOS Originale Opaco :)
I got my blue 1521 recently (from the squale.de link which Wooster posted - highly recommended). It's a lovely, simple funky thing, which looks great on the tan leather, though one is conscious that leather is not the most authentic dive look. The crown is, as others have said, ruddy awkward.
I love the simplicity of that one... And the orangey lume... Looks to be long since sold out though.
As said above, both squale.de and Page & Cooper are showing it as back in stock. I know the former recently received a batch as I got mine having been waiting.
Edit: ps - that's if you mean the 1521, not sure.

I had 50 atmos for a year, beautiful, reliable watch, but somehow it always looked better in my pictures that in real life.
My advice to you is really to try one on your hand before buying, they work well on smallish hands, but I found as I dramatically gained weight that it became a little uncomfortable, it really depends on wrist shape, but I heard others to claim the same
In fancying a blue 1521 too simple gorgeous, but always sold out.
The blue 1521 is also on my list. Seem to sell out I'm places pretty quickly though

I have an orange dial 50 Atmos, purchased on a sales forum.
The bezel is a bit out of alignment, crown can be a bit finicky - no other issues.
Wish it was a bit larger...
but, I love the watch!
I plan to buy the new Squalemaster.
Going to try and be patient to let others buy first in order to see what they think of the build quality.
Like the the new size, dial look sharp.

Simply great.
That new Squalematic looks amazing. I'd love to see those dials and bezels on the smaller 1521
