Hi, just wanted your input on buying a diver watch for myself at around the USD 1000 and below range.
So far i like the homage watches like the steinhart or the squale. Anybody own either one can give me some feedback on how those 2 brands are?
So far i've noticed on youtube that alot of watch guys are labelling "mid tier" watches as "dog shit" and would rather recommend a high quality quartz instead of paying 1k plus for a mechanical watch and better to upgrade straight to an omega or rolex which is crazy money for me.

I am worried about its value/quality to price ratio. Is a squale really worth its asking price.

The quality right out of the box for the overall fit and finish, the movement accuracy etc. quality of a product doesnt include the expectation that the value of the time piece will increase over time since thats based on the brand and its heritage which i didnt mention since i know the kind of watches in my price range are not those where the value will increase.
If i wanted the "whole package" like what your talking about, i will get either an omega or better a rolex or patek.
I own a Squale 1545 and I can say that I am absolutely pleased with the watch.
Awesome build and finishing.
Movement is accurate enough, it's an ETA2824.
Totally worth it.
Just go for it. You wont regret it!
You can get it locally from Wristsolution.
