I am wearing this Squale right now. I never heard of this brand but bought it last friday, and got it today. It's a well made Swiss watch for under 1k with good specs and a common easy to service movement. I'd put on par with Fortis, and better than Glycine.
The Squale 1545 series Classic Grey Bracelet 1545GG.AC is an automatic movement watch with a 300m water resistance rating. The 1545GG.AC features a classic grey dial and bezel with highly luminous Superluminova C1 treatment on the hands and the markers along with a stainless steel case and brushed Stainless Steel bracelet. This model uses flat Sapphire Crystal with anti-reflective treatment.
The case size of the Squale 1545GG.AC is 40mm with a thickness of 12mm, lug-to-lug of 48mm and a lug width of 20mm. The case back is polished 316 L Stainless Steel. The lockdown screw in crown is at the 3'o clock marker and the case back is screw in. The Unidirectional stainless steel bezel is matching grey with a ceramic insert.
The Squale 1545GG.AC uses the Sellita SW200-1 mechanical automatic movement with a frequency of 28800 a/h (4Hz) and uses 26 jewels. The movement has a power reserve of 38 hours.
Citizen Mechanical collection Automatic Promaster Marine NB6004-83E. The all encompassing ISO compliant dive watch featuring a one-way rotating elapsed bezel, screw lock crown in a Super Titanium case and bracelet. Finished with Sapphire glass and featuring the new Calibre 9051. The NB6004-83E features a 46mm case and is Made in Japan.
The new Cal. 9051 movement uses anti-magnetic materials for the balance spring and surrounding components to boost the overall magnetic resistance of the watch. This new model is capable of maintaining performance even when placed 1 centimeter from a device emitting a magnetic field of 16,000 A/m. The watch is also resistant to magnetic fields from everyday devices, including smartphones, and it can even be used aboard ships with magnetic compasses. In addition to magnetic resistance, the watch also has ISO compliant*2 water resistance up to 200 meters. It can run for 42 hours when fully wound, with daily accuracy of -10 to +20 seconds – solid performance for a mechanical watch. The hour hand, minute hand, and indexes have a luminescent coating to ensure high visibility.
This is my 12th watch I've bought for for TRS; I only planned on 3 in one watch roll. I blame @tdw, and this review that sounds like it came from a certain manly user:
Alpha-Male stuff, rugged, very well made … and big !
With a top of the range calibre 9051 under the thick sapphire and with a very sturdy Titanium case and bracelet you can't go wrong with this wonderful watch. The design is strong, eye-catching, very Alpha Male. Wear it to the beach. Take it swimming. Buy one if you have the wrist to take it on. Similar in size to a Seiko Marinemaster but at only 145g you won't be bothered by a big annoying lump of metal on your wrist. Beware of the pin and collar bracelet adjustment - do yourself a favour and take it to a watch repairer to adjust it to avoid the hassle of doing it yourself and wrecking things.
I wondered if anyone was going to post today's SB deal, lol, being titanium and all.
The Monochrome review paints a good picture of it:

It looks too much like a Frankenwatch for my taste, but apart from the aesthetics it seems like a solid tool.
