Introducing the Squale Master
Squale came to Basel this year ready to impress. If you're not familiar with the brand, I recommend you check out our review of their Ref 2002 watch. If the look alone of that watch doesn't tell you this brand is different than others, then their rich history will. Squale is one of those brands that everyone ought to know, as they were pioneers in dive watch case manufacturing in the 50's, 60's and 70's, and now continue to make beautiful, original Swiss-made divers, at very accessible prices.The first thing they showed us is a new family of watches, based on a line from the 60's called the Master. These 600m divers have 44mm cases, power reserves, 12 o'clock dates and a cool vintage style. The bezels have to be seen in person to be truly appreciated, but they are made in an anachronistic fashion for a gorgeous outcome. They are essentially bakelite bezels with dimensional steel inlays on top. This is then all sealed in with acrylic (presumably) to create a flat top surface. As with th

AP Boutique Paris - closed?
Am I going blind or AP closed their boutique in Paris. It's still listed on their website and everywhere else at 380 st. Honore but I passed by two times and it's not here. :) if I wasn't here two years ago I will think I missed the address.There is no info of closing or moving so I'm really confused :)

speedmaster professional moonphase:3576.50.00
Is there any interest in this model? .omegawatches/index.ph...000&no_cache=1 Its a professional, manual wind, sapphire sandwich with moonphase and date. I know its not the watch that went to the moon, but in reality not even though sapphire sandwich went up. I really would like a watch with date, so I think the moonphase and date are nice touches considering its a moon watch. I also like its a 42mm alike the original and I know Omega makes a 40mm with date only. So here is my dilemma, considering that the 3576.50.00 and 3573.50.00 are not that much different in price, which one would you get? I think I really like the moonphase? From a collector's point of view, do you think this a bad move? How about the 3573.50.00? or the original 3570.50.00? Thanks for all your help.

Would you buy a SS Model from an AD at a premium?
So I popped into the AD that I bought my BLNR last year. This is an AD in a small town in India. They had one yachtmaster and a white dial milguass in stock. I asked the owner about the availability of a Sub date, Sub no date, BLNR, ceramic daytona and blue dial SS Sky-D. He mentioned all available for order with delivery in 2 days. The prices he gave me are similar to TRF seller markups currently. For e.g. for the Ceramic daytona and Blue SS Sky-D, he is asking approx $18.9K each. The warranty card would be in my name and dated on date of sale. He is asking $10.6K for the BLNR.So my question to you all is - would you do it? I am torn, I want one of each of the white dial daytona and the blue sky-d but i can't get myself to pay over MSRP for a mass produced product.
