The Squale/TGV Trio Collection

I'm going to tell you the story of how this happened. Before I purchased any of these I had gotten a Squale Matic. Interesting fact, this is the watch that Marc from Islander Watch and Long Island Watch says is his favorite watch.

This was immediately a favorite of mine. I learned about it being Marc's favorite later. I subscribe to about 5 different YouTube podcasts one of which is The Urban Gentry. I saw the Sand Shark Collaboration on the intro and then researched it as I really loved the look and knew how fantastic the Matic watch I already own is. I didn't think I would have even ever get a chance at one since it had sold out & only 100 were made. Since I had fallen so hard for Squale I always check different sites and see what Squale watches are available but so many to choose from and I hadn't really figured out which model I was going to get. In December this watch is on eBay and I have my heart set on getting it. My bid was over original price by a bit but I got outbid. I had missed my chance and just thought well that's that.🙄 About 2 weeks later though another one shows up on eBay. 😳 I'm like really, no way! It was to be bid on as well but I messaged the seller and negotiated with him to just sell it to me. 😎I was able to get it for less than I had bid before so I was very pleased. After getting it I found out about the Lion Shark and it shows up in February on eBay. 😳 I bid on it and get it. 🎉 I then make a post on WatchCrunch to share information and gain any information and find out from an awesome watch enthusiast ChonoGuy (next level!) that there's one more. Thank you Mel! I'm like oh that's crazy and of course he shares a picture. I think it's gorgeous and the quest continues. In March it shows up on eBay.⚡ I'm like what that's crazy and impossible! I get outbid. 😔 I end up stepping up my search and find one at a jewelry store out of state and was able to aquire it at a fair price. 🎯 It's been incredibly fun and doubt there are too many collections that includes the total trio. Also that they are as limited as they are and were all available seems to me just too good to be true. I really like the look of all of them and they're definitely a pillar in my collection. If you made it this far I hope you enjoyed my storytime and wish you the best for your collection and hope you are really enjoying the hobby (obsession) 🍻
