what's your thoughts on squale
Squale historically and still makes good watches. I am not a huge fan of the 1545 collection because it apes Rolex so closely, however, at least the GMT you linked to has pencil hands vs Mercedes. Marc Frankel at LIW is good people.

That 16800 is a beauty.
I can answer on Squale - I've held one in my hands and inspected it closely. My brother has the 20 ATMOS Militaire Ceramic - with the sword hands and creamy patina looking lume. He bought it on a whim while his Sub Date was at Rolliworks getting some work done. It is the best Homage watch I've seen personally. He paid 5 bills from an ebay seller - watch originally came from Gnomon watches. Has a workhorse ETA 2824-2, which is time tested movement. The ceramic bezel is very nicely done for a $500 dollar watch. Bracelet is well done and links even have screws for adjustment instead of god-forsaken pin and collar fastners. If I remember correctly, it is a bit thicker than a Submariner, but the case is nevertheless well-proportioned. The Sapphire is slightly domed which harkens back to the acrylic crystal subs and is a nice touch. The brand definitely has some cred, but I am not sure there is a 100% unbroken line from past to present - Obtuse might be able to answer that one.
