    Hi Bemo, MKII actually does not make a homage of this watch. The Seafighter is a Homage of a BP FF issued to german military diver's in the 70's

    I have no idea. I think you have to contact them via e-mail through their web-site. At the moment domestic sales payments are managed with bank transfer and cash on delivery, i don't know how they manage export sales...

    The same here



    Yes [edit: both Blancpain's and of course MKII hommage] cases seem to be the same shape of Squale to me!

    I try calling them at 011 39 02 863887. The call never got through. So I email them, and this was their reply.

    {thanks for your interest about our products.
    We are currently working to update the site with the section in english.
    When we are operating in this direction I will send you a mail notice.
    About the VAT i think that they are not included in the price but to add to this.


    best regards}


    Also, I saw some info on another and it seems like they are not selling international right now. There is a couple Italian only sites out there selling them right now. They want 500+ Euros for them.

    Re: Please, educate me about SQUALE *off topic*

    One of the members has this as their handle:

    SPQR

    Off topic but have not thought of these intials for many years. My dad studied at the University of Rome and I have an old hat of his that has "Senatus et Quorum de Roma" I believe. In fact my initial attraction to Squale was that they were Italian. And I believe they started as a dive equipment manufacturer so the Dive Watch section of WUS made sense.

    Just a little babble from me so bear with me.

    Thanks

    Why do you dial that 011 before the number? Isn't it enough just dialing 0039-02863887?? I don't know in the US, but usually to call Italy from abroad 0039 is enough.
    I dropped Squale an e-mail about export sales, but hopefully it isn't not needed anymore, just wait guys...

    OT: Actually SPQR stands for "Senatus Populusque Romanus" that is the latin for "The Senate and the People of Rome". It was the signature of the ancient Roman Republic, and still it is the signature of nowdays city of Rome.

    I call Italy quite often as my parents live there, 01139 is the proper prefix.
