This video is a long time coming, and was difficult to make, but I'm going to lay it all on the table. Join me for an eye-opening look at the new and updated Squale Master Titanium-one of the most troubled watch releases of the year-that reveals so much about what's wrong with the watch industry, social media, and how watches are talked about both on social and traditional media. We'll also take a quick look at the Squale 1521 Marina Militare, as well as a plot twist with the Squale Master-a watch that in my opinion, should be up there with all the greats, like what Luminor is to Panerai, the Submariner is to Rolex, the Black Bay is to Tudor, the Seamaster is to Omega and so on. What do you think about the watches in this video? Please share in the comments!

Umm, it’s the same clasp as the Erebus Origin and a number of AliX watches selling for 10% of the price of this watch….not sure how much thought went into it from Squale. Is the clasp titanium?

@Leo-Crespi 25 дней назад

Generally speaking I really enjoyed this video, it's insightful and interesting even more than usual. However I can tell you that 99.99% of Italians have never heard about Squale, I'm not talking about watch enthusiasts but just regular people who know very well the most common watch brands. Moreover, Squale is one of those "Italian" words created abroad that make literally no sense in Italian as you well know (squalo=singular / squali=plural), so for that reason only Squale will always be a difficult brand to sell in Italy in my opinion. Great to see that they listened to your review though, honestly what you said at the time made a lot of sense. Careful with those Italian watch reviewers, I understand the nostalgia factor but the language barrier made irreparable damages in the past decades and this won't be fixed in our lifetime.

Another excellent offering TGV. Us as fans of yourself and watches appreciate your honesty and integrity. Two things which are seldom seen in this modern world of instant gratification and entitlement. I have been criticised recently on my ventures and content. I took it on the chin and thanked them for it. Because I know deep down they were coming from a good place. It was constructive, and more importantly they were correct. Was it a little hard to take? Of course! I’m human after all. Equally it was the best thing that has happened to me, as I sat down and made the changes they suggested and came back ten times better! None of us (want) criticising. I think we all just want to be loved haha. Although, if you can’t turn the mirror on yourself and truly look within and accept constructive feedback. Then it really shows a lack of character and exposes a sense of self importance and entitlement. I’ve only followed the channel for a short time in comparison to some. I must say the way you carry yourself is outstanding. The fact you care about your passion and us as fellow enthusiasts much more than the potential of, (I’ll quote yourself here) Ducktails money is really a testament to you and what this entire channel is about. You could have acquired a ludicrous amount of money many years ago. But you decided passion, incorruptibility and being selfless to the cause were far more valuable. Apologies for the essay. 🫡 sir!

@jameskeefe4797 25 дней назад

When a watch brand responds in such a fashion, you actually "feel" the passion, warmth and respect they have for their customers! It creates a real connection and a feeling that they're listening to their enthusiasts and they're looking after them! In a sometimes cold, corporate world of commities, lawyers and accountants, this is extremely refreshing! Squale has just gone up in my estimation. So has TGV. I didn't think that was possible! Onwards and upwards!

@rohanbuck2185 25 дней назад

Is this a genuine new clasp? It looks like an off the shelf titanium clasp employed by the likes of San Martin and some other similar brands. Either way I don't much care, its a vast improvement that really elevates the offering!

@theurbangentry 25 дней назад

Not a frequent commentor, but as an avid watch enthusiast I found this incident of awareness and responsiveness by Squale to be a bright light in the otherwise secretive and guarded world of watch producers. I have been a fan of this brand for awhile now, and am always keeping my eye out for a great deal on one. I appreciate the unusual, so my last Squale acquisition was a Corallo chronograph. Good on TGV for shedding light on this underappreciated manufacturerer. By putting in the extra effort to convey how Squale responded to an honest critique of their initial clasp design choice.... by replacing it with a correct dive clasp.... he has illustrated why this is a watchmaker to pay attention to. Great to have an "influencer" who tries not to get compromised by the "say nice things about us and we will give you a watch" youtube racket.

Great episode. Squale is a special brand. My take on LE's has softened in the last year or so, as I considered the relatively small number of watches many brands are making in total. They keep the standard lineup, and offer a rotating selection that changes annually or so. I think that's actually pretty cool as a collector, because it means there'll always be another Squale - or Grand Seiko especially - I've never seen, let alone owned. In the case of this year's MM LE, it looks too good for me to get cranky about it! What a watch!

Hi TGV Don’t have a Squale watch myself, but surely like them - especially the case designs. But for my lifestyle a single diver is enough....(Omega Seamaster Electric Blue) Still, a bit of criticism here! We can surely agree that when a watch brand is kind of excluding you from reviewing their models (-I do have a guess who you’re talking about, but I consider like you myself as a gentleman and won’t name the brand...), what’s the problem? You surely can buy one of their watches, give your honest opinion...and of course sell it on if you don’t especially fall in love with it. I’m aware that this, apart from the trouble of the selling process, is an expense. Not a very big one I guess, if it’s a piece from a recommended brand... I don’t like big brands trying to gain a monopole, manipulating the hearts and souls of (us as) potential buyers. But you have always, in my eyes, been a safe point of opinion, guarding the objective standpoint. It’s surely disappointing if a big brand behaves this narrow minded, but don’t get crossed about it. The fault is theirs, not yours... Have a nice weekend- and keep up the good work😊

Bought my first Squale on Monday. Had to return it today as the bezel was misaligned...sad 😢. Hopefully they replace it as I really love the watch

The Marina Militare is where it's at for me. Not keen on the usual branding / motif on the standard models.

I totally get it, with the MM sign and not the double shark logos, it looks great I must say too. Great observation, thank you. Best regards, TGV

Its outstanding that a watch company will listen to critique and improve the timepiece. Its win win for everybody.

TGV, I have to thank you for bringing the Universal Genève White Shadow to my attention!! It was almost serendipitous as I was looking at the Omega De Ville Ellipse style watch like yours but managed to pick up a manually-wound Cal.1-44 White Shadow horizontal on the integrated Milanese Mesh Bracelet for an amazing price...unfortunately/fortunately depending how you view it, I was persuaded to sell it just a week later for more than twice what I originally paid!! As gutted as I was to only spend a fleeting week with such a beautiful work of art, it has solidified my intention to trade up to the microrotored version instead which, if I'm honest, was always the dress watch I wanted but couldn't justify the £1000+ they're fetching when I'd only wear it on a few occasions a year!! 🎉

Another gem Sir! I have to say I find the newest master hideous. I have last year limited edition COMSUBIN,also in titanium 5 and, though very big, gorgeous and technical at once. This video just made me love and respect Squale even more.

Awesome video!!!! Thanks for always being honest!!!! Glad to see that Squale cared enough and changed the clasp and sent you the new version!!!! This makes me even more impressed to own a handful of Squale watches!!!!

Love my Squale 1553 which I bought after seeing you review the brand cracking little quartz watch.

Great advice TGV! In fact, I think companies that sells commercial products should have an open attitude when it comes to feedback by paying consumers.

I had unsubscribed after realizing I hadn’t watched any videos in quite some time. This popped up on my feed and it earned a resubscribe. Appreciate the work you put into the videos and the honesty.

Still the best intro in the business

Great episode and appreciate the candor. I agree that limited editions are flooding the market (hi Seiko and Grand Seiko). Limited production runs is a better approach imo.
