Just got this piece last night, truly a joy to add this old skool diver to my watch box. Didn't like the strap it came with, so switched to tropic instead, feels so much better now!!

Hi feilong thanks for asking about my Squale's lume pip. The lume pip was tritium and after a vigorous shower. I have since cleaned it and it actually looks like this now.

Yep markers are tritium too. It was really dumb, the lume pip wasnt even say protected in a pearl, it was just exposed. So I guessed all the water and soap must have loosen the tritium and it then fell out. These NOS watches tend to be abit flaky on hardiness..

No prob, sorry it isnt the best of pics. His is the Squale 101 Atmos.
Squale 101 Atmos =1000m diver. These are all current production.
Squale 50 Atmos = 500m diver. These are also NOS, the one that TS posted.
Squale Tiger Atmos= 300m diver. Also NOS.

Errh, not sure... dont know if they can dig out some old tritium to stick. Im actually quite happy with the watch looking the way it is w/o the lume pip actually so I'm leaving it as it is.
The interesting about the Squale Tiger is that its bezel can only be activated using the red pusher just like an Omega ploprof. Also, compared to the ATMOS 101 and 50 which use ETA 2824, the Tiger uses ETA 2892. Just some points for consideration if you are sufficiently poisoned and want to get a Squale

Hahaha! I'm glad to be spreading Christmas poison..I mean Christmas cheer around!
The blue dial and bezel really looks brilliant, congrats! Agree with you about the mesh, when I handled my colleagues 101 ATMOS, the quality of the mesh bracelet definitely caught my attention
