Hi there Ubik,
Here's a series of pictures of a Squale compared with the civilian bund type.
The Fifty Fathom is top (except for the last shot !)
Sorry guys, another post full of photos, but I believe they are better than me trying to explain.....
And here's a selection I took a while ago (just after I got the 3H Bund)
This time the fifty fathom is at the bottom.
And here's a view of the back of a squale
and the 2 fifty fathoms (3H on the right)
My knowledge of the case manyfacture came from other forums, where I read a discussion regarding the origins of Squale, with the founder C Von Buren beguinning as a case manufacturer, which is why you can find some examples double signed with the makers name in the usual 12 o'clock area, and the Squale shark logo at 6. They made for other brands also - there are some Heuers, Auricoste and others, with similar cases from the late 60's/70's.
So I don't see any specific markings to confirm this, this is just what I have learnt from reading whats online.
If nothing else, this is a handy reference of pictures of the Fifty Fathoms 4 O'clock bund, versus the thin case Squale, which from what I have seen, is the favorite case of the 'look a like' ones.
Cheers Tony
