Picked up a AMZWATCH's watch as my first watch last month and I’m absolutely in love with it. Perfect size, looks elegant, very comfortable. Now my only problem is holding off from buying more watches so quickly!
That's one awesome looking watch, love the colours and a ladder style bracelet😍. Bit of info for you Certina do the same push turn bezel on their DS PH 1000 stc diver, but its unidirectional ( so we'll give the points to Squale this time😉). Cheers Marc.
@@islandwatch Certina doesn't it on their Ph500m as well, both are "re-issue" watches bases from their back catalogs of divers from the 60's. Wonder if Squale helped Certina with their DS case design, both brands were heavily involved in diving at the time, Certina being the watch of the tektite projects of the late 60s.
I got a hold of one, and I must say it is a good looking watch! However, it turns out the tropic strap that comes with the watch is actually 20mm, although the lug spacing on the case is 19mm, so Squale just squeezed their 20-mm tropic strap into a watch with 19-mm lug width... I also ended up squeezing the strap at the buckle end because the buckle is 16mm, and the strap doesn't taper enough to be able to pass through the 16-mm buckle without squeezing it, especially if you have a smaller wrist.
I want an Islander watch with this type of case. The Vostok 710 is so comfortable and has the 22mm lugs and size is perfect. Just hate everything else on the Vostok.
The 12 points (dodecagon) of the inner edge of the bezel don't line up with the indices and it's driving my OCD nuts. But it's a stunning looking watch.
Nice looking watch. I think it would look even better with the date window color matched to the dial with white numerals to match the info on the dial. Much more legible for my old eyes. Thanks Marc. Have a great day! 🙏🏼
If you change leather straps a lot, 20s become 19s anyway. And an exacto knife will resize any 20 dive strap at the lugs. Don't get me started on 17s though! 😊
Pretty similar. Lovely watch. But two logos does my head in, and neither of them appeal. The unbalanced logo at the top, and the kids drawing shark at the bottom (if anything it looks like a seal). I've seen a few models with out the shark, which helps my head a little bit
This is my favorite long island offering to date. That Squale is a stunner! 🤩🐶🐕
Thanks Brande
Super cool. That bezel action is awesome. Thanks for showing us the watch!

That is the best squale I’ve seen. If I had the spare cash for a watch right now I’d jump on this. So nice

Interesting, thank you for that.

Super cool and a sure hit at 40mm plus a VERY unique design

"Still pretty good on the water resistance..." haha! 600m is INSANE!! Love this!
Thanks!
Very nice video as usual. Was thinking about one more mistake which is the lack of lume at 12 o’clock. Greetings from France !
Got that. Good call.
I bought the blue dial Squale from you and love it. The orange hand really stands out!
Sure does. And they do a great blue.
I’d be happy to wear it. It’s a beauty.
Thank you.
That you mentioned it, I like the 44mm.. Great watch!
Awesome! I miss my blue 100atmos I bought off you Marc. Was such a lovely piece but as you pointed out was rather bulky.
More Damasko reviews. By the way thank you Marc for the black DC82
stunning service as always
Yeah, thanks Marc. Just eyeing this up at my local AD right now Lol.
I usually dive around 1000 meters but I still like this watch

I always loved that case.
Super nice and different

Very Nice 👍
This rubber strap design has been used in so many other brands, I’d immediately throw it away. Cheapens the watch!
That's because the original came with a tropic. The tropic strap was standard on pretty much every diver in the 60s and into the 70s.
I think there's a typo on the website for this watch. It reads "600 meters" in the technical info, which would genuinely be impressive. 😂
I'll check it out.
Did Squale do the first press to turn bezel before Certina?
They say it was a first.
@islandwatch Thank you Marc
bulova mil ships (press and rotate bezel) they did it a long time ago @shanephillips8735
Hello Marc do you think this would fit a 6 inch wrist?
New Bellmatic? A new Seiko release sold at Islander?
Nice looking watch. I think it would look even better with the date window color matched to the dial with white numerals to match the info on the dial. Much more legible for my old eyes. Thanks Marc. Have a great day! 🙏🏼
Thanks!
Very cool looking watch. People get so bent out of shape over a 19mm lug width!

Hey mark i want the bracelet on the site looks its out of stock…thx in advance
I really never cared for divers in the past however that baby's nice. 🙂
Squale has done a little to much limited editions lately... They are all pretty cool still though.
Is the mistake the 19mm or no lume pip at 12? Nice looker!
19mm. Like, what were they thinking?
@ haha. Even worse than 21mm somehow!
which mistake? did i miss that part?
I think he's talking about the lug width being 19mm instead of 20
You had me until the price. Genuinely a good looking watch that would fit me but a bit more than I'd like to spend.
Stunning reissue. Why not 20mm? 😅 anyway great timepiece
Yeah right? That's what I think.
A piece like that is made to be on rubber
h2o CH8 vibes?
I just can’t deal with the logo being above the S and centred.. it sets my teeth on edge! Lovely watch, but couldn’t live with the logo!

No worries, thanks for watching.
I préfère my Hamilton scuba dive, with thé same combo colors, but a thousand dollars less....
😎😎
