WOW! Thanks Kojikabuto! That was awesome!

I'm new to Squale so please be gentle with me I have a Squale Saphir 2001. The word "Saphir" refers to sapphire carystal? Does my 2001 have a sapphire crystal? Is this why the crystal looks new even after all of these years? When were the "Saphir" 2001 made? Here's a fewQ&D's of my watch. Thanks guys!

Hi Cmoy,sorry for the late replay,
this days im travelling away because of work and i am pretty busy

your 2001 Shappire should be 1972/1973 model
its been a good purchase,and looks only the bracelet its not original to the watch, i remember having a look at the auction
you are fortunate i have been busy..

yes if it has not been replaced afterwards, that cristal has to be shappire
in fact the 2001 model was the first to introduce shappire cristals in the squale range of models

i still owe you all the second part of the review,i will post it as soon as i find
some spare time, do not miss it, meanwhile, pk-diver can keep you updated

Hi Squale Master (Kojikabuto),

First I am not happy with you because you gave us the Squale Fever and my doctor says "the only way to cure the desease is to have all the Squale models in your collection..."

So I already have 3 of them ( 50 atm ) and just confirm a purchase for a 101 atm (2002 with Tritium dial).
I prefer the Tritium version to new ones in your pictures :
_ The Helium Valve contradict with Squale history mean case without HV for deeep diving.
_ The lume is not Tritium anymore.
What is the Lume on this model ?
I don't like it, this green lume looks cheap.

Also this model does not look like on the one that Squale promote on their website, that particular one is more esthetic and the dial looks like cmoy one. Is your 2 models current production ?

Beside I read in an other post that Jenny use to produce for Squale until 1999 is that true ? Do they have a share in Squale ?

I appreciate your knowledge about Squale.

P/S : Yes there is a leak of your photos from an other seller here.
