That looks great with the silver and navy blue dial. What year was it made?

It's actually a black dial, but has the signature AR coating which has a hint of blue in certain lights.

Mine is a 2019, here is a similar one:

Good job this has 200m water resistance, about 10 seconds after taking the pic the hosepipe ‘accidentally’ detached from the gun thing and managed to soak me, and only me. Apologies are fair enough but rarely taken as sincere when the person (Wife) is laughing their head off...

Peacock for me today. If only it was more comfortable! The new GS case looks like it'll be miles better in that regard.

I love those. What's availability like? I've not been in an AD for a fair while.

I have one of those, bought about 15 or so years ago and worn every day throughout. Totally battered now but still working and keeping great time. Probably the best £200 watch that I have ever owned.

I had all my watches (15?) stolen several years ago, and this is one of the first I replaced.

Great pic Alex; not easy to photo

That GS dial is amazing.

Got it and happy days, not to everyone’s taste but can’t afford a Kermit or hulk at today’s prices!!

Recently procured a Squale 1521 - black dial, polished on a milanese bracelet. I had been looking for a diver for my collection for a while (I mostly have tool, field or dress watches) and obviously considered SKX, Combat Subs and a couple of Tissot models, but for me at least, the Squale was my favourite. It's a nice size at 41.5mm, although it wears more like a 41 - ideal for my wrist at 16.5cm. It's a little thicker than what I would usually wear at 13mm - but being a diver, not so bad!

I'm looking to buy a Zuludiver rubber strap, maybe in orange as an addition.

I really like the Milanese / beads of rice bracelet.
Not sure it will lok right on my watches though...

oh well more opportunity to buy another watch

Love the Squale 1521. Such a great watch.
I've stuck a leather strap on my GSQ and it's going rather nicely. Going to try it on a black leather option when I get some time to switch again. This was my most worn watch in 2020 but it hasn't been out much this year.
