Please, educate me about SQUALE

I hope the new 101 atmos will be better built than the ones currently available, my experince with these watches was not very good, back in july I bought the pvd version, the quality over all was ok not the bezel, did not aligned with the minute marks in the dial and moreover there was a little "play" of about 1-2 mm after wearing the watch for a couple of weeks the bezel came off, luckily I did not lose it, sent back to italy fo repair they checked and admitted that it was faulty, but the play of the bezel was still there they said that could not be fixed, at the end we agree for a refund.
This is a very good looking watch, is a bit on the small side, the weak point is the bezel make sure there is no play at all and that is perfectly aligned with the inside minute marks of the dial

Mine is ok in all aspects. Maybe you had a bad luck on yours (sorry for that).
In act your fact the bezel on 101 atmos (like mine) it locks. Bezel needs to be pushed down to turn. Then you release , it lifts up and it locks tide.

Re the size. This particular model is a big watch. It wears bigger than any PAM 44mm.

Hi folks!

Great looking watches which I am becoming more & more interested in.

Would anyone who bought a recent Squale - especially anyone who bought theirs from Princeton Watches - care to comment on the quality? I saw the post from Casanova Jr. and was wondering if this was what others were experiencing.

Again, great looking watch but it does have a lot of competition from the upstart micro-brands (and some major brands) whose build quality have been proven.

Also, has anyone ordered the stainless steel case/pvd bezel 1521 from Princeton? How does it look in the metal?

Thanks!

Dave..... call PW and talk to Steve. Nice guy and VERY knowledgeable. I listen to Steve as closely as I read posts from DEMO......

Let's bring this thread up again ;)

Has anybody ordered the new 101 atmos yet? I fall in love with the black dial and yellow-black bezel edition...

Rumors say the 50 atmos will be back beginning 2011, probably with superluminova and sapphire instead of the vintage tritium and mineral crystal.

Thanks. Do You know any rumors about prices?

What great information and great watches. I've always had a thing about theses watches and in particular the case style of the 50 Atms/FF etc with the 4pm crown...used by a number of companies.

Anyway I am awaiting the arrival of my Squale 50Atms which is a NOS one bought in late 2009/early2010....can't wait.

Well it has arrived....I really am impressed by the quality and look when compared to some of my others.
Very pleased.
Don't care for the strap it came with, so this has been quickly replaced with one which believe is more in keeping with the watches heritage.

The new 50 atmos is out now!

They re-issued the old 50 atmos, updated with luminova and sapphire. There's and also a cool 'vintage' version with domed sapphire crystal and bi-color bezel (black/orange, black/yellow). Dials available in black, orange and yellow. Prices are in the 500/600 eur range depending on the model.

As usual they made a mess with their web-site... Check also e-bay: there's an official italian retailer of Squale with good pictures. Funnily new production is shown there sooner than on their web-site...
