I've been thinking about pulling the trigger on a squale for awhile. Thoughts? They're great looking dive watches.
I remembered I had another NATO in a drawer in my desk. The watch is definitely very light and comfortable on a NATO.
Next to an MM300:
Yesterday afternoon, I stopped into a menswear boutique in Brooklyn that is having a going-out-of-business sale, and that exact watch was 50% off, or $300. I'm looking for a watch with a black face and a tan or brown strap, and this certainly fits the bill, but I had been looking for an automatic. Trying to decide if its worthwhile to drop $300 on something that wasn't my *first* choice.
Wow! $ 300 is a great price for the watch, we are not that lucky here in the UK , please can you email me the name of the shop so I can buy a few more at that price, I am looking for one for my wife but we get no discount here in the UK on them.
I am not a great fan of automatic watches but absolutely love manual wind watches.
Here is another fine example
^^^ Even at $300 that seems a touch expensive for a watch powered by a movement that sells at retail for around £5 and with dials that come from Taiwan, from a company who bought the name of a shoe polish manufacturer?
When you consider that you can pick up some incredibly well made offerings from Steinhart, Stowa and Laco with manual and auto movements and genuine horological heritage at a similar price point? If you really like the watch then that's great, but I think there is better "value" to be had in that price bracket elsewhere.
Not that well versed in this since I only know Shinola from their made in Detroit marketing, but what is the source that all the parts are outsourced? Seems to defeat a lot of their advertising.^^^ Even at $300 that seems a touch expensive for a watch powered by a movement that sells at retail for around £5 and with dials that come from Taiwan, from a company who bought the name of a shoe polish manufacturer?
