    The lume on the Super Squale is diabolical. The intensity fades within minutes, whereas the Black Bay 58 lume lasts almost overnight. I compared both watches head to head.

    Excellent comparison review as always David, and some great macro video footage checking both watches out close up 👏 Two superb watches, we do have a similar taste. I do like that both have a blue dial and blue bezel - most diver watches have a blue dial with a black bezel, which is not as nice! I also think for the lower price and that top-notch BoR bracelet that I’d take the Super Squale 👌 But tbh I’d take either or both, they are with very little fault and everything I want and admire in a timepiece 🤩😍

    I have the blue super Squale for about 8 months now. It's very comfortable, very legible and looks absolutely great. Minor annoyances; no drilled lugs and the colour blue of the leather/rubber hybrid strap it comes with (like in this video) does not quite match the blue of the watch.

  • @perpetuality

    @perpetuality

    Great points! Drilled lug holes would only add to its throwback character. I personally don’t mind the strap being a contrast to the watch- sometimes too much of the same color can overwhelm the watch in my opinion. Luckily it’s easily remedied!

    Love both brands and watches. I've owned the Squale Sub-39 GMT and handled a few BB's after thinking of making the jump and I honestly could not justify the difference in that case as well with money being an object. To me the biggest difference in quality was really the bracelet and clasp. Bezel action was better im sure but it didn't stand out to me personally as a factor. Im looking at possibly considering the Super Squale with the steel bezel and the clasp seems stamped just the same but im really curious if this bracelet is executed at all better than the Sub-39 was.

    I wish those two could be mixed together. I like the bezel color of the Squale, but prefere the bezel markers of the BB58. Squale case, but Tudor caseback, the deep blue dial of the Squale, the applied indices of the BB58 dial. And of course the clicks from the BB58 bezel. Let's name it Super Squale Bay 58 and meet in the middle of two, 2500 euros would be fine 😁

    I have the Super Squale with a steel bezel without the 3-6-9 numerals. I love it but the small crown is a real problem for me. I’ve now had to send it in for warranty repair as it does not screw all the way down. I’m hoping they can replace it with a larger crown that I requested.

    Just bought a new ceramic Squale 1545 from an AD and it’s one of the worst running watches I’ve ever got. I’ve probably purchased over 70 watches by now. Running +26 spd dial up, fully wound on my timegrapher. Several of the threads in the links also stripped and I had to get Squale to send me a new bracelet. Frankly, unacceptable for a $1,200 CAD watch. Not very impressed with this brand. Likely will be forking out to send it in for regulation under warranty.

    Tudor also is trying to carve its own identity out of Rolex which is ironic from your comment because modern Tudor is more enthusiast focused much like microbrands are today and that isn’t a bad thing. The big brands can learn a thing or two from microbrands in my opinion. I think Squale is doing just fine and having the history and enthusiast focused offering like a microbrand is a compliment in this day and age.
