Not sure where to post this.
I have always loved watches but have never had anything really special. I am thinking about buying my first expensive watch (Around $1,000AUD), I would love something like an Omega Moon Watch but at this time in my life they are just too expensive (maybe in a few years). However, I would still like to get something nice.
I was ready to buy a Seiko Shogun (I found them on skywatches for around $1000, which I found was a website recommended here on watchuseek several times).. But I have since found out about the Squale 1521 which is IMO one of the best looking watches I have ever seen (I LOVE the extremely shiny metallic blue).
I had never even heard of Squale before though, I did a bit of research and found that they were a respected brand a while ago.. But I have also read that they are low quality and completely made in China and just assembled in Switzerland for the Swisse Made stamp. I was also a bit concerned when I saw that there was no dedicated place to talk about Squale watches on here (unless I missed it).
So I suppose I am trying to get some advice on Squale watches, I would love to hear from people who actually have them, especially when compared to other respected brands. I have read nothing but excellent things about the Seiko Shogun and it is a really nice looking watch.. But I just absolutely love the look of the Squale.
Thanks!
