Got this Squale 1553, quartz. According to Squale, case, case back, crown and dial are NOS from the 70s and 80s.
But, I just can’t have shiner new things on my wrist. They just don’t feel right.
So, I went to work on it. Unfortunately I need to order a set of new hands, paint them and relume them, as the original hour hand’s sleeve came off and it will not function.
Currently has a modern eta quartz in it. I’m going to try how to figure out if I can fit a mechanical movement in it of a period/reference correct quartz. New hands are coming as well.
