Do you know if it comes brushed? ____________________________________ | |

| Brother, tape up the crystal with some masking tape, then tape a thumb tack on the center of the crystal and poke it through a piece of scotch-brite pad and just start turning the watch or scotch-brite pad in a clockwise direction! You will end up with a perfectly brushed bezel that looks like it came out of the factory!!! End result on what was a polished bezel.. reaaly would like to know how cheap they are blowing the tiger out?? |

| I can see that on a smooth bezel...
...how do you think it would work out on a numbered bezel? ____________________________________ | |

| it's really easy Alan and if you can score a tiger for say 500 bones you wont have a bunch into it! brush that bezel, throw it on some mesh and you will have one of a kind...... until i get one!!! You know we got to keep both coast in sweet watches! |

| I like these watches Alan ! The new Professional 101 ATM's kind of harken back to those great vintage dive watch styles from the past. The length of the case, as well as the attractive dials, and different bezel combinations bring both the past and present together VERY nicely imho. It's also really interesting just because they seem to have had an excellent history of making cool dive watches. Hopefully these watches here are just the beginning of more great Squale watches to come ! ..By the way, I like the Tiger 300 that Trevor is showing too !!! That bezel is INCREDIBLE, and the overall look of the watch, along with ingenius buttonfor the bezel is just TOO GOOD as well. It honestly looks AWESOME, but also looksas if the quality rivals other higher end dive watches out there. The polished bezel looks EXTRA wide, and unique too imho, and Trevor's Scotch-Brite trick can always take it up a notch also if you wanted Alan ! ..Thanks for these pictures of the new Squale here Alan, and thanks for showing us all of those watches and brushed bezels Trev ! ____________________________________ | |

| I like the first model better, and prefer the all black bezel. Not a fan of bezel locks, the red button looks like a cheap reset button to me. | |

- i like this one much better, 750 bones list and you need to call princeton watches for the sales price, so low they cant print it in the ad! also 44mm!!
FWIW John (conjurer) over at BDWF picked up that exact model and sent it back within two days I believe. John is honest and straight forward about his watch reviews and did not have a lot of good things to say about the watch. He said enough for me to stay away from them at the price point they are at. |
